Why is Bitcoin like a writing desk?
Bitcoin (BTC) is like a writing desk because it has unlimited potential.
Let's start with: definitions.
Bitcoin - a digital value created via algorithm stored on a blockchain using a peer-to-peer network. The current network currently has global reach.
Value - the value is determined by the sellers/holders. Essentially, this is a supply and demand value system like everything else.
Peer to Peer - a transaction method without intermediary. No middle man required.
Let's continue with discussion...
In the global marketplace regional currencies can limit buying potential.
Due to cost risks such as: exchange commissions, counterfeit verification, service fees - that reduce the overall value. Merchants need an instant method to ensure the value is secure.
Because the world is using global peer-to-peer communications, it is looking for a global value transaction method.
Bitcoin is a method to transact and store a value in what is currently a global network.
