Historically, gold and silver were reliable but impractical forms of money, leading to the rise of paper currencies. However, moving away from gold-backed money enabled manipulation and debt-driven economies.
Bitcoin counters these issues. Its decentralized structure and fixed supply resist inflation and central control. Unlike gold, it is divisible, verifiable, and suited for modern trade. As digital currencies like the EU’s digital euro emerge, Bitcoin’s ability to restore monetary honesty and empower individuals becomes increasingly relevant.
