During my short but very profitable trip down the rabbit hole of Bitcoin, I have learned a few things, especially related to money and some economic concepts, which I still have half-tangled up.
I have learned about the emergence of money because barter was becoming less efficient in larger and more specialized economies, I have learned about inflation associated with two phenomena, on the one hand it can occur due to the scarcity of products and services, on the other there is the money printing machine. I have even read about how people get rid of excess money by spending. And this is where I thought:
WHY IF THERE IS INFLATION IN CUBA, DO I NOT HAVE EXTRA MONEY TO SPEND?
Then I begin to understand that there is a combined phenomenon here. On the one hand the state began to stop producing physical money so that everything is digital, magnetic cards. Here "they kill 3 birds with one shotgun"
1 They control your expenses and profits
2 They do not have to pay to print more money. They put numbers in the accounts and that's it.
3 They can confiscate ALL YOUR CAPITAL
As they can print or generate "money" out of nothing, INFLATION occurs. But there is the other phenomenon, THERE ARE NO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, mainly products, which forces you to spend everything you have on basic needs and I'm talking about RICE, BEANS, SUGAR, OIL, EGGS; no MEAT BECAUSE THERE IS NONE AND WHEN IT APPEARS THE PRICE IS HOLD.
So an interesting phenomenon is occurring, RESURRECTION OF BARTER. Of course the economy is no longer so specialized or so large, we are bartering with basic products.
These phenomena are making it more difficult to accept and much less adopt Bitcoin.
It is incredible how economically you can be in this situation in the modern era. Therefore, if you who are reading this post live where there is inflation and you have money to spare or you have the opportunity to charge for your services in Bitcoin, do not miss that opportunity. Bitcoin is the solution to everything, but not everyone can have Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is scarce and there are some lost ones.
