Abstract :
[en] One of the best, and certainly one of the funniest, videos ever produced on What is Bitcoin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhAOScxAH60. A must watch… Several times! Of course, it shouldn’t prevent you from doing your homework. A good place to start is to discover the many resources available at https://bitcoin.org/en/. Bitcoin is an innovative payment network and a new kind of money. It’s a store of value. It’s an elegant system aimed at building trust in a digital environment. Today, it enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. It uses cryptography to protect transactions’ contents and history. Bitcoins are portable, durable, divisible, recognizable, fungible, scarce, and hard to counterfeit (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page). For Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, it’s a Monetary Revolution. “It’s the first, global, private (no Government oversight), digital, decentralized, rules-based, Monetary System.” Four key players: Swan, Block, MicroStrategy, and Coinbase provide useful additional sources of information.
