Like many people, I used to see Bitcoin as just a risky investment. People buy it, wait for the price to go up, and hope to “get rich quick.” If you don’t believe in it, you stand on the outside, shake your head, and think it’s a bubble.<\/p>\n

But then I read a different story. It wasn’t about the price; it was about the people who had no other choice but Bitcoin. From then on, I started to look at it in a completely different way.<\/p>\n

The question everyone has asked: “What is Bitcoin used for?”<\/b><\/h2>\n

A friend of the author once asked:\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Seriously, what can Bitcoin actually do?”\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

The answer sounds quite “profound” or “abstract”:\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Bitcoin is the digital transformation of capital.”\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

At first, I also found it confusing. But the more I read, the more I realized: “Capital” here is not just money. It is the ownership and control of one’s own assets – something that many people around the world are being deprived of.<\/p>\n

Not everyone can access a bank<\/b><\/h2>\n

The data that truly surprised me:<\/p>\n

There are 1.4 billion adults in the world who do not have a bank account. In the US – the world’s largest economy, over 14% of households still cannot access basic financial services.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Person<\/p>\n

The reasons are very real:<\/p>\n
