What I wish teachers taught about money, Bitcoin, and the world
summary
Schools train obedience not critical money literacy and banks create money out of thin air, so savings erode while debts grow; real examples include Zimbabwe 2008 where prices doubled daily, Venezuela and Lebanon where currency collapse freezes withdrawals. Bitcoin is an open‑source 2009 experiment that enforces 21 million coins with issuance halving every four years, verified by math via nodes, wallets and cryptographic private keys; it delivers transparency, immutability and permissionless transfers instead of trust.
