  • Bitcoin, in contrast, is “apolitical,” available worldwide, cannot be debased, and its supply is fixed and transparent.
• Quote: “Someone can click a button and create trillions new units in the system, and that dilutes the purchasing power of every dollar that we work so hard to earn.” (Natalie Brunell, 00:19)
