Elon Musk tries to explain crypto
Elon Musk:
Okay, so imagine money… but it's not really money. It's like if the internet and a spreadsheet had a baby. And that baby lives on thousands of computers. Everywhere. All the time. Immutable. Like... Thor's hammer. But digital.
Bitcoin? Think of it as digital gold. Except instead of mining it with a pickaxe, you use a GPU that costs more than your car.
Ethereum? That’s like Bitcoin, but with smart contracts. Basically code that lives on the blockchain and executes automatically. Imagine if vending machines had lawyers built in.
Dogecoin? Well... it started as a joke, but jokes are powerful. Memes are the DNA of culture. So I tweeted it. And then... moon.
It’s decentralized, so no one’s in charge. Except maybe the guy who owns the most of it. Which is hopefully not me.
To sum up: Crypto is programmable money. Or chaos math. Or the future. Depends on how many Teslas you.
