I really began to understand bitcoin when I started viewing it as encrypted energy money.
By holding the keys to a UTXO (not just buying on an exchange) you literally own an amount of energy that was expended. You can then transfer that energy to someone else in exchange for a good or service if you chose.
But the second you start talking about “encrypted energy money” to friends and family they start to look at you sideways. Glad there’s a place like this where I feel more sane 😅
