the answer is simple, yet so profound:
bitcoin is an electronic payment system that allows anyone to create an account and send any amount of money to anyone in the world
no gatekeeping
no intermediaries
no permissions
we use the internet to send all sorts of things around the world. but until bitcoin, we couldn’t do it with money
(thinking of bank transfers or credit cards? these are debts. you don’t yet understand what money is)
