A long time ago,
there was no money.

If you wanted something,
you had to trade for it—
like wheat for chickens.

But trading wasn’t always easy.

What if the person with
chickens didn’t need wheat?

People realized they needed
something everyone would accept.

At first, they used things like
shells, shiny rocks, or beads.

These were small and easy to carry,
but they weren’t very special.

What if someone found
a huge pile of shells?

Suddenly, they wouldn’t
be worth much.

Then came gold.

Gold was shiny, rare, and people
couldn’t just make more of it.

It became the best kind
of money for a long time.

Kings made gold coins
so everyone knew they were real.

But carrying lots of gold around
was heavy and risky.

That’s when people started
using paper money.

It was much lighter
and easier to carry.

You could even trade your paper
money for real gold at the bank.

But then governments
realized a clever trick.

They could print money
whenever they wanted,
without needing gold.

This caused a big problem:
the more money they printed,
the less it was worth.

Suddenly, your hard work
could buy less and less.

That’s why money today
doesn’t work as well as it should.

Fortunately, there’s
a better kind of money.

It’s easy to carry,
can’t be faked, and
no one can create more of it.

It’s called Bitcoin.

Bitcoin isn’t just the next
step in money’s journey.

It’s the best step.

It’s rarer than gold and it’s
easier to carry than paper.

Bitcoin is like a treasure
that belongs to everyone.

And this is just the beginning
of what makes Bitcoin
so special.
