bitcoin what is it?

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 — not money)
