Traditional fiat currencies—your dollars, nairas, euros—are tangible money you can physically hold. Governments and central banks control their supply and monetary policy.
Crypto tells a different story. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies operate as digital assets without any central authority controlling them. No government, no central bank. The real kicker? Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million coins. That's it. Fixed forever. It's like digital gold with absolute scarcity built into the code itself. That's what makes it fundamentally different from any fiat system.

21 million tokens sound like a lot, but upon closer thought, it's really not enough to distribute.

The cap of 21 million coins is indeed much more reliable than the central bank's printing press...

21 million tokens is truly incredible, the hard cap remains unchanged forever, this is what real digital assets are all about.
