Bitcoin provides economic independence, investment prospects, and versatility for the global economy, but it also comes with concerns such as significant volatility and susceptibility to fraud.

Bitcoin’s fixed supply and network effects could change the world.

Despite its challenges, Bitcoin remains a game-changing innovation worth knowing about.
