"Bitcoin is simply better money - it is fundamentally better - it will, over time,
out-compete fiat. Gold is better money than fiat also, but was unable to displace it because it had to be centralized and digitized to be convenient, and any such system of digital gold can be shut down once it achieves enough success. Bitcoin cannot be shut down, so it is free to compete indefinitely. Our children will laugh that fiat was ever a thing."

El mero hecho de que nunca habrá más de 21 millones de bitcoins y que cada bitcoin se puede dividir en 100 millones de unidades hace que sea una mejora significativa sobre cualquier otra forma histórica de dinero”.
