I've been reading a lot about Bitcoin, watching interviews...
Regardless of different interpretations and different opinions, I always go back to the beginning, because who can better explain Bitcoin than the person who imagined it and made it possible to exist.
A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.
Of course, this is just one sentence, but anyone who wants to understand Bitcoin at least to some extent should really read the white paper, and then look for other opinions and explanations. Besides, Bitcoin is not something I would explain to children (at least under 10-12 years of age), and to people who don’t want to understand it from some of their personal beliefs.
