Do you truly understand what cryptocurrency is?

Most people treat it as an investment asset—cheering when it rises, cursing when it falls. But if you only stay at this level, you'll never see its true significance.

Cryptocurrency is not an asset—it is a signal of a turning point in the era.

Think about the revolutionary changes over the decades. The steam engine, the internet, mobile computing... They are not just tools; they have completely reshaped humanity's understanding of the world, the way society is organized, and how wealth is created.

Bitcoin, born in 2009, is on the same path.

Why is crypto so resilient? Why does it never truly disappear despite strict regulations, public opposition, and drastic price crashes? The answer is simple: because you cannot kill a product of an era unless you kill the era itself.

So, what has cryptocurrency truly changed?

It challenges all our old perceptions of "value," "finance," "trust," and "sovereignty."

This is the key.

Think about the essence of money. For thousands of years, people thought it was gold and silver, but actually, it’s not. The true essence of money is always a question: who has the authority to make others accept it?

The answer hides violence.

You use Renminbi because there is a state apparatus behind it. You use US dollars because there are the US military, the financial system, and global hegemony behind it. You use Euro because of the EU's market size and policy power.

Money has never been the value itself, but consensus—consensus enforced by power.

But in 2009, this rule that has governed for thousands of years was broken for the first time.

Humankind invented a form of money that does not rely on violence.

This is the revolution.
