We explore the fundamental aspects of Bitcoin and why it represents a technological advancement in the concept of money. Our discussion ranges from the history of currency to the mechanics of Bitcoin mining, highlighting how Bitcoin's fixed supply addresses the inflationary problems of fiat currencies.
• Bitcoin's primary appeal lies in its fixed supply of 21 million coins, creating predictable scarcity unlike fiat currencies
• The US dollar and other fiat currencies lose purchasing power over time, making long-term financial planning difficult
• Money evolved from direct exchanges to precious metals to paper representations and now to digital currencies
• Bitcoin mining involves computers competing to process transactions, receiving rewards that halve approximately every four years
• Transaction fees on the Bitcoin network are determined by market forces, with higher fees prioritizing faster processing
• By 2148, all Bitcoin will be mined, creating a system that will run entirely on transaction fees rather than block subsidies
