Bitcoin's Step Change: Bitcoin represents a significant shift in the understanding of money
Bitcoin is considered a step change in the concept of money, offering a radical departure from traditional forms of currency. It provides a stark contrast to fiat money, which is continuously devalued, and gold, which lacks portability. Bitcoin's revolutionary properties, such as its permissionless and immutable nature, catapult it into a new realm of financial freedom.
