š¬ Explaining Bitcoin to Grandma ā A Story About Ownership and Freedom šļø
One afternoon, I was explaining to my grandma what Bitcoin is. āItās a digital currency thatās not controlled by any bank or government,ā I said. āIt uses a technology called blockchain that makes sure the money is secure and no one can take it without the ownerās permission.ā
Grandma listened carefully and then quietly said, āThat reminds me of the old regime when the state nationalized businesses and took peopleās savings and property. We had money, but we were never truly free because the state could take it away.ā
She thought for a moment and added, āIf Bitcoin had existed back then, they wouldnāt have been able to take it from us. Because it would have belonged to us, not anyone else.ā At that moment, I realized that Bitcoin is not just technology but a symbol of freedom ā the freedom to control your own money.
Grandma smiled and said, āIf people had this gift earlier, maybe our history would have been different.ā And to me, thatās the essence of cryptocurrencies - to give people power over their own finances.
