The Evolution of Money and the Rise of Digital Scarcity

👉 Read Part I [Short Form] [Long Form]

Money is the foundation of every economy—but few understand how it works, why it breaks, or what replaces it when trust fails. The Bitcoin Fundamentals Course begins with first principles: what money is, why fiat currencies decay, and how Bitcoin restores scarcity, credibility, and trust through mathematics and energy.

This first installment traces the arc from gold to fiat to Bitcoin, showing how decentralized rules—not rulers—now define monetary reliability. It explores the mechanics of Bitcoin’s fixed supply, its security model, and why “blockchain technology” without Bitcoin is a dead end.

Inside, you’ll learn:

  • How money evolved—and why every fiat system fails the same way
  • What makes Bitcoin’s 21 million limit economically revolutionary
  • Why Bitcoin, not “blockchain,” is the true innovation
  • What really backs Bitcoin (and why that question misses the point)

For those seeking clarity amid noise, this course grounds Bitcoin in timeless monetary logic—explaining not just how it works, but why it matters.
