💰 What Even Is Money?

Before we judge crypto, we need to ask: what makes something “money” anyway?

It has to store value.

People have to accept it as payment.

And it should be able to be exchange for good or service

Think about it a $100 bill is just paper It works because people believe it works. If you handed that same paper to someone 500 years ago, they’d probably just use it to start a fire.

Money is belief + trust.

👾 Where Crypto Fits In

Crypto — like Bitcoin — is digital. You can’t hold it. You can’t fold it. But here’s what you can do with it:

Buy products online (thousands of stores accept Bitcoin now)

Send money across the world in minutes

Store it without needing a bank

Trade it for goods, services, or even real estate in some places

Is it used like cash at your local corner shop? Not yet.

But is it used like real money in many parts of the world? Absolutely.

🌍 In Some Countries, It Is the Main Money

In places like Argentina, Nigeria, or Venezuela, where the local currency is losing value fast, people turn to crypto to protect their savings.

In those situations, crypto isn’t just real money — it’s better money. It’s stable, borderless, and can’t be frozen by a failing bank.

🧠 So… Is Crypto Real Money?

Here’s the honest answer:

Yes, but it’s different.

It doesn’t feel like your wallet. It doesn’t look like coins or bills. But it does what money is supposed to do — it stores value, moves between people, and lets you exchange it for real things.

It’s not the money of the past.

But it might be the money of the next chapter.
