Why Should We Care About Bitcoin?

Every time we earn a paycheck, we are trading hours of our lives — our energy — for currency that loses value over time.

Since the year 2000, the U.S. dollar has lost more than 44% of its purchasing power, what cost $1 then now costs nearly $1.80 today. What’s worse is the United States Dollar is the dominant currency of the world. That means the money we worked for in the past buys significantly less in the present. We did everything we were told. We worked hard, we saved, we played by the rules. But the rules were quietly changed. The problem isn’t how we manage money (energy) — The problem is what we’re storing our energy (money) in. Inflation isn’t a mistake. It’s a design feature of fiat currency — and it works against us.

Bitcoin was built for this exact reason, The American dollar, Euros, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Australian Dollar, or any other currency, you can think of loses value every year, but Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins — ever. It’s issued through a transparent, predictable schedule. It’s secured by a global network that runs on energy and proof of work — not politics. There is no central authority, No one can dilute it, No one can change the rules behind the scenes.

So why should we care?

Bitcoin gives us something we’ve never had before: A form of money that respects our time, A network that protects our savings. A tool that allows us to opt out — peacefully — from a system that’s quietly failing us.

Bitcoin isn’t about gaining wealth. It’s about preserving the energy we already give — and finally storing it somewhere that doesn’t leak.
