Phase 1: Bitcoin as a Store of Value

Bitcoin was officially launched on January 3, 2009, by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. In the beginning, Bitcoin was only of interest to a community of people passionate about cryptography called cypherpunks.

These cypherpunks were immediately seduced by the possibility of a leaderless Peer-to-Peer payment system that would put power in the hands of its users.

Gradually, they were joined by innovators who saw Bitcoin as more than just a technological revolution.

These innovators saw in Bitcoin the possibilities of a social and ideological revolution.

Bitcoin has appealed to people in poor countries under authoritarian regimes.

From Venezuela to Zimbabwe until Afghanistan, Bitcoin has enabled people to have recourse to constantly devalued local currencies.

This recourse represented by Bitcoin has allowed them to survive and have hope for a better world.

In the Western countries, the problem was not the same since the inhabitants of these countries feel less the effects of the constant inflation decided by their governments.

Nevertheless, many have seen Bitcoin as the best solution to protect what they own.

Something the U.S. dollar, for example, has never been able to do and never will.

More and more people are now beginning to realize that 1 USD in 2020 will not equal 1 USD in 2050.

Worse still, your purchasing power will only decrease.

In contrast, Bitcoin guarantees that 1 BTC of 2020 will always be equal to 1 BTC of 2100.

Bitcoin protects what you own and the first step in its adoption it is to make as many people as possible aware that it is an essential tool to achieve more freedom.

Bitcoin gives power back to the people by putting users back at the centre of the game as it works as a true democracy.

The events of early 2020 with the imminent risk of war between Iran and the United States have confirmed that Bitcoin has managed to become a global store of value.

At the height of the crisis between Iran and the United States, Bitcoin rose sharply in the same way as gold, which has been a universally recognized store of value for decades.
