In this video I break down why that’s wrong and what really gives Bitcoin its value.We’ll cover: • What “backed by” means when it comes to money • Why gold was never “backed by” anything either • How fiat money lost its gold backing and why that matters • Why Bitcoin doesn’t need backing to be valuable — and why it’s actually superior moneyIf you’ve ever heard “Bitcoin is backed by nothing” and weren’t sure how to respond, this video is for you.Timestamps:00:00 – Why people say Bitcoin is backed by nothing01:00 – What “backed by” really means03:00 – How gold and fiat money were backed07:30 – What backs Bitcoin (and why it works)12:00 – Why Bitcoin beats other stores of valueValue 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: [email protected] or https://coinos.io/mftabNYKNYC.
