Why does the real value of Bitcoin lie in circulation?
Replies
Bitcoin doesn’t pretend to be money like anything else; it’s the first man-made currency that doesn’t corrode like melting ice and doesn’t discriminate. It’s money for those who choose it. Since there are no printers, no one wants to trade it for a better store of value — there’s no second best. Even people who don’t have Bitcoin can use it to shape the life they want. Instead of chasing money to store something, they build anything on top of Bitcoin that enriches their life.
Bitcoin stops you from endlessly chasing money and lets you use it to live the life you want. What happens when you have enough of what you want? What then? With Bitcoin, this is entirely possible, and every Bitcoin user should be prepared with an answer for this scenario. However, chasing money is a bottomless pit that you can never fill. The Bible says that the love of money is the root of all evil. I agree, but how does it work? What is the mechanism? Chasing money, making it a priority and letting other things become secondary, is a mechanism.
Bitcoin is not just another asset or financial instrument. It is borderless, permissionless money. Treating it otherwise diminishes its true value. Simply storing it does not bring freedom.
