bitcoin what is (the best) money?

to understand bitcoin you have to understand what money is

money is a solution to the problem of barter. a society can only scale with a common good called money

it is not the root of all evil. it is a tech solution in the history of mankind

if we would create the best money it would have these six properties:

1. fungible: units are interchangeable
2. durable: doesn’t spoil or fall apart
3. portable: easy to move or transfer
4. verifiable: easy to authenticate
5. divisible: works for tiny amounts
6. limited: no new units at will

it needs to fulfill this three core functions:

1. store of value: savings hold purchasing power over time
2. unit of account: measurement for value. comparable prices
3. medium of exchange: exchange goods without the need for barter

bitcoin is on the way to check all these boxes. it is the best money humanity has
