0:00A: Like, what’s so good about it? Like, what is the determining factor that makes this such a great thing to use?
0:05B: So, so your question is, what makes -- what’s so good about crypto? What’s the determining factor which makes it good to use? You know, I, I would say that it’s less about what’s good about it, and I think it’s more about what is the value proposition per se, right? And the value proposition of Bitcoin, the first crypto, is that, you know, do you know what inflation is? You know what inflation is?
0:27A: Yes. What’s inflation? Costs.
0:28B: And where does that come from?
0:29A: Like war, uh, the economic state of the world.
0:33B: That’s what they tell us, right? But that’s propaganda. It’s actually -- there are people in the country who can print money any day they want. And when they print money, there’s more money. And so your piece of the pie is smaller. Your dollars are worth less. And so countries around the world, they all print money. And Bitcoin was designed to say, well, if they can print money and I have to work for it, where does that leave me? People said, well, instead of having to hold the dollar where they can devalue my labor every year as long as I live, I’m gonna hold Bitcoin because it’s only ever going to be 21 million Bitcoin.
