From Dollars to Sats: The World Priced in Bitcoin

21 minutes

Key Takeaways:

Money Should Move Like Information: Think about how you can send a text or a video to anyone in the world in seconds. Money should work the same way—fast, easy, and without needing a bank or government in the middle.

Bitcoin Has a Limit—That’s a Good Thing: There will only ever be a certain amount of Bitcoin (just like there’s only one Mona Lisa). That makes it more stable and trustworthy than regular money, which governments can print more of whenever they want.

Regular Money Can Lose Value Over Time: When prices go up (called inflation), your dollars can buy less stuff. That means saving money in dollars can be risky. Politicians and banks can also make changes that affect how much your money is worth.

Bitcoin Matches the Way We Live Today: People live, work, and shop online all over the world. Bitcoin fits this lifestyle because it’s digital, works anywhere, and doesn’t belong to just one country.

Using Bitcoin Could Change Big Life Decisions: Imagine buying a house with money that keeps its value better over time. If Bitcoin became the way we measure prices, it could help people make smarter, long-term choices with their money.
