“Bitcoin is just a store of value.” No, that’s the wrong way around.
Bitcoin is money. The best medium of exchange we’ve ever created.
Money has one job: help people trade.
Everything else, store of value, unit of account, flows from that.
Plenty of things store value: real estate, land, gold.
Bitcoin stores it better.
But that’s not what makes it money.
What makes it money is saleability, how easily you can trade it.
And Bitcoin wins:
⚡ Saleable across time (fixed 21M)
⚡ Saleable across space (moves globally in seconds)
⚡ Saleable across scale (100M sats per coin)
The only thing missing? Acceptance.
Your landlord wants euros. Most merchants still don’t take Bitcoin.
That gap is real, but it’s closing fast.
We wrote a full article on what Bitcoin actually is,
and how we’re solving the acceptance problem.
