Bitcoin Well Answers: 2 - How Does Bitcoin Have Value if its not Backed by Anything?
People say Bitcoin is "fake" because it isn't backed by anything. But is the US Dollar backed by anything? Is Gold? The answer will surprise you. 🤔
In this video, Adam O'Brien (CEO of Bitcoin Well) dismantles the biggest myth in finance: that money needs to be "backed" by something physical to have value. We explore why money isn't about "backing"—it's about Attributes. We break down the 5 traits that make money useful: Scarcity, Divisibility, Transferability, Authenticity, and Durability. See why Bitcoin scores higher on every single metric than Gold or the US Dollar, and why it's the first "Supreme Asset" in human history.
