As I travel and interact with those stuck in the dark, I reveal what is real versus fake isn’t just about money, but about transparency, accessibility, and truth itself. Bitcoin’s dashboards, mempools, block explorers—all visible elements of a living network. We can see the transactions, feel the pulse, track the mempool congestion in real time. It’s raw, unfiltered truth.
Now look at fiat. The SWIFT system? A black box. No one outside the inner circle sees its movements, no one feels its flow. It’s a system of hidden ledgers, opaque settlements, and trust in institutions that never earned it. The very people using it are blind to its mechanics, yet they accept its value as if it’s real.
That’s the difference. One system operates in the light, the other lurks in the shadows. One is decentralized truth, the other centralized illusion. The question then isn’t just about money—it’s about reality itself.
Fiat is a magic trick. Bitcoin is the truth revealed.
