so one of the problematic things is that a lot of people say that bitcoin is not “real“, that it isn’t backed by anything, that it is “fake“. This is where people like to think about like more traditional forms of capital like real estate, like physical land or property.

But if we think about the etymology of the word “real“, kind of more originates from the idea of something existing in the physical realm, I think that could be given, exchanged, transferred etc.

so for example, if you think about the reality of things, and if you think about bitcoin, the reason why it is real is that it is truly packed by real power and real money.

I think currently as of now in which I write this, it is real.
