# Bitcoin Is Like
by Oleg Andreev [2017/12/10](https://oleganza.com/all/bitcoin-is-like/)
**Bitcoin is like physical cash:** it is not reversible and you are responsible for handling it. If you lose your wallet, you lose your money. You can give bitcoins to someone to hold them for you, but it will be like with any bank: you have to trust them that they won’t run away with your money.
**Bitcoin is unlike physical cash:** you can store as much as you want and it will not take any space. You can send it over the wire to anyone. It is impossible to counterfeit. You can’t give it in one second: to actually guarantee that transaction has happened, you have to wait 10-15 minutes for the cryptographic proof to be produced by the network.
**Bitcoin is like gold:** it cannot be produced at will, there is a limited amount of it and this amount is scattered in spacetime continuum (mostly time). To get some bitcoins someone should give them to you, or you should *mine* them. Like gold, Bitcoin is shiny: it attracts people with its beautiful engineering, built-in contract programming language, wise incentives, and libertarian promise of freedom from coercion.
**Bitcoin is unlike gold:** supply of Bitcoin is completely fixed via scheduled mining (only so much bitcoins are created per hour). You have a guarantee that no one will suddenly find a mountain of bitgold or mine it on asteroids. Unlike gold, Bitcoin difficulty is adjusted to the mining efforts to keep the schedule fixed. You may dig up all the gold in one day, but it will never be possible with Bitcoin no matter how fast computers will ever become. Growing mining efforts can only bend schedule slightly (network adjusts difficulty to producing 6 blocks per hour, but if network constantly grows it may produce 7-8 blocks per hour).
**Bitcoin is like a bank:** there are computers, databases and transactions. Databases store the entire history of all incoming and outgoing payments: who send how much to whom. Everything is digital. There are no vaults with gold or personal deposit boxes, only bookkeeping in a single “ledger”.
**Bitcoin is unlike a bank:** everyone can verify that their database contains the same ledger data as everyone else’s. There is no manager in charge of updating the ledger and making sure it is not tampered with. Any person may have as many accounts as they like and all accounts are anonymous (unless one reveals his identity himself). Ledger does not store names, only balances and account numbers. There is no possibility of a “fractional reserve” when bank loans out more money than it actually has. In fact, there are no debts on bitcoin ledger: either you have money on your address and it is fully yours, or you don’t and you can’t use it at all. Also, Bitcoin allows to lock money with “contracts”: cryptographic puzzles designed to spread the decision making between several people or across time.
**Bitcoin is like Monopoly money:** coins are abstract tokens that are not claims to any value. People value them because they choose to play the game. In fact, the same is true for gold or any other money.
**Bitcoin is unlike Monopoly money:** there is a limited supply of tokens and no one can counterfeit them. This makes them a good candidate for a universally recognized collectible like gold or silver coins.
**Bitcoin is like Git:** in Git (a distributed version control system) all your changes are organized in a chain protected by cryptographic hashes. If you trust the latest hash, you can get all the previous information (or any part of it) from any source and still verify that it is what you expect. Similarly, in Bitcoin, all transactions are organized in a chain (*the blockchain*) and once validated, no matter where they are stored, you can always trust any piece of blockchain by checking a chain of hashes that link to a hash you already trust. This naturally enables distributed storage and easy integrity checks.
**Bitcoin is unlike Git:** in a way that everyone strives to work on a single branch. In Git everyone may have several branches and fork and merge them all day long. In Bitcoin one cannot “merge” forks. The blockchain is a actually a tree of transaction histories, but there is always one biggest branch (which has the value) and some accidental mini-branches (no more than one-two blocks long) that have no value at all. In Git content matters more than branches, in Bitcoin consensus matters more than content.
**Bitcoin is like Bittorrent:** the network is fully decentralized, there is no single “mint” or “bank”. The blockchain is like a single file on bittorrent: cryptographically authenticated and shared across many computers. Every participant, including miners are acting on equal grounds. If one part of the network becomes disrupted, transactions can flow through other parts. Even if the entire network goes down, information about transactions is still stored on many thousands of independent computers and no one’s money is lost. When people connect with each other again, they can continue sending transactions like nothing happened. Both Bitcoin and Bittorrent can survive a nuclear war because information does not become radioactive and can be safely replicated.
**Bitcoin is unlike Bittorrent:** instead of many independent “files”, there is one file that always grows: the blockchain. Also, the most important participants: miners are actually getting rewarded for their work with real money.
**Bitcoin is like freedom of speech:** every transaction is a short public message that can be pronounced no matter where or how. If some miners hear it, they will add it in the blockchain and that message will be forever in the history. Everyone will see it and no one will be able to erase it.
**Bitcoin is unlike freedom of speech:** saying something comes with a cost. Transaction moves coins that you must have to start with. So not every moron is allowed to shout, but only those who had a merit to acquire some coins in the first place. Also, miners may reject transaction if it’s spammy or does not contain enough fees. So no one provides anyone with freedom as “in beer”, but everyone tries to cooperate on a voluntary basis.
**Bitcoin is like a social contract:** it is a pure cultural phenomenon. It works as money as long as people treat it as such and have guts to hold it and respect its rules. Technology is needed only insomuch to provide necessary plumbing for that contract.
**Bitcoin is unlike a social contract:** it is not the kind of a contract that they teach at schools. It’s not flexible, and it’s not imposed by some rulers. It’s a virtually immutable set of rules that everyone chooses to apply to themselves, therefore adding to a unanimous consensus.
**Bitcoin is like magic internet money:** it simply is.

# Talutshedzani Bitcoin unga ni khou amba na nwana wa minwaha mitanu
by Nik Custodio [2013/12/12](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/explain-bitcoin-like-im-five-73b4257ac833/)
### Arali na namusi ni sa talukanyi uri Bitcoin ndi mini…
Nne na inwi ro dzula kha banga phakhani. Ndi duvha lavhudi.
Nne ndo fare apula lithihi. Nda li nea inwi.
Zwino inwi ni na apula lithihi, nne athi tshena.
Zwo luleluwa, asi zwone?
### Ari do sedza zwavhudi uri ho bvelela ni:
Apula langa lo vhewa tshandani tshanu.
No zwi vhona. No vha ni hone, na nne ndo vha ndi hone. No li fara.
Arongo toda munwe wa vhuraru u thusa kha u nekedzani apula helo. Arongo toda malume Vho-Tomasi (muhutali a divheaho) u vha thanzi ya hoho u nekedza.
Apula ndi lanu! Nne ndi ngasi kone u ni nea linwe apula ngauri athi tshena. Ali tsha langulwa nga nne. A li tsha vha langa. Zwa zwino li vho langulwa nga inwi. Ni tshi funa, ni nga kona u li nea khonani yanu, khonani yanu inga di isa phanda ya li nea munwe vho. Zwa ralo zwi tshi ya.
U neana nga tshanda zwo to ralo. Zwidi fana namusi ri khou neana miomva, bugu, tshitanu, kana randa…
Ndi vho dzhayesa.
### Ari humela kha maapula!
Ari soko fanyisa riri ndo fara apula lithi la digital. Nda li nea inwi.
Ah! Zwi khou thoma u takadza.
Ni zwi divha hani uri ilo apula lithihi la digital le lavha li langa, ndi la nu ni nothe? Zwi humbuleni lwa tshifhinga nyana.
Zwi vho dadisa, asi zwone? Ni zwi divha hani uri thingo li rumela malume Vho-Tomasi u thoma sa phasela kha email kana nga poso? Kana khonani yanu Joe? Kana khonani yanga Lisa?
Thanwe ndo khunyeledza nda ita dzi photocopy dza apula ilo kha khomputha yanga. Thanwe ndo li posa kha internet vhanwe vhathu vha million vha mbo li downloada.
Ni a kona uzwi vhona uri u nekedzana hohu hu na thaidzo. U nekedzana maapula nga ndila ya tshi digital ahu fani naluthihi na u nekedzana maapula nga tshanda.
Vha divhi vha saintsi ya dzi khomputha vhazwi vhidza: the double-spending problem. Nga Tshivenda ringari, thaidzo ya u badela luvhili. Aringa do sedzesa hei thaidzo. Fhedzi, zwine na tea u zwi divha ndi uri thaidzo heyi yo dadisa vhadivhi lwa tshifhinga tshi lapfu nga maanda ende futhi avhongo kona u I tandulula.
U zwikela zwino.
Ari do lingedza u da na thandululo yashu.
### Ledgers (bugu dza masheleni)
Ri nga ri haya maapula a tshi digital a tea u nwala buguni. Ledger ndi bugu ine vho ramasheleni, kana vho ramabindu vha nwala badela inwe na inwe – bugu ya accounting kana mutshintshano.
Heyi bugu, samusi I digital, I tea u tshila lifhasini layo ina mulangi wayo.
Ari dzhie sa tsumbo mutambo wa World of Warcraft (munwe wa mi tambo ya khomputha I no tambiwa nga vhaswa ano maduvha), wo sikiwaho nga vha ha Blizzard. Vha siki vha hoyu mutambo vhana ‘digital ledger’ kana bugu ya mutshintshano, ine ya vha na zwi tangu zwine mutambi anga shumisa a tshi khou tamba. Zwo ralo, ringa nea avho vha siki vhudifhinduleli ha u langa iyo bugu ya maapula ashu. Khezwo – ro I tandulula thaidzo.
### Dzi thaidzo
Hu na thaidzo nyana hafha:
1. Arali munwe vha shumeli vha Blizzard (company yo sikaho World of War craft) a sika more what?
Anga longa maapula a digital nga u funa ambo enge dza tshivhalo tshawe.
2.
Azwi khou fana na musi ro dzula kha banga lia duvha. Hovha hu nne na inwi fhedzi. U dzhenisa munwe wa vhuraru, sa Blizzard, zwifana na u vhidza vho-Tomasi uri vha bve court (mushumoni wavho) uri vhade vha vhe thanzi yau nekedza hashu.
Ndi nga kona hani u ni nea apula langa nga ndila yo doweleyaho?
> Huna ndila inwe ine ranga edzisa u nekedzana ula sa zwe ra ita ngei bangani? Hu tshi tovha nne na inwi vhedzi, mara lwa digital? Zwinga zwi do konda...
### Thandululo
Khare ra neya ila bugu yashu munwe na munwe? Ra sa I neye vha ha Blizzard, zwi siya iyi bugu I tshi do dzula na munwe na munwe. U nekedzana hothe ha maapula ho vhuyaho ha bvelela, ubva tshi tshetsho, hu do vha ho nwala buguni iyo.
Ahuna u fhura iyo bugu. Athi koni u ri ndo ni neya maapula ndi songo ita ngauralo, ngauri zwi do vha zwi songo nwalwa buguni dza vhanwe. Zwinga konda nga maanda u fhura vhanwe, nga maanda u nekadzana huhu hu tshi vho hulela.
Futhi bugu heyi a I langulwi nga muthu muthihi, zwi do konda uri muthu a di neya maapula mannzhi nga ene mune, ro dzula ro langana uri zwi do shumisa hani ubva mathomoni.
### Ndo zwi leludza nyana.
…mara hezwi zwe nda talutshedzi zwi hone. Zwi pfi Bitcoin protocol. Maapula ayo apifi “bitcoins”. Ndi zwavhudi.
No zwi vhona uri ho bvelela ni? Hu konadzea zwifhio nga kha ila bugu ya mutshintshano?
1. Ni do zwi humbula uri munwe na munwe u na yo. Tshivhalo tsha maapula tsho nwala fhasi ubva mathomoni. Tshivhalo tsha o, tshi a divheya.
2. Ngauri munwe na munwe u nayo, athi todi thuso ya vho-Tomasi uri vha vhe thanzi uri thi ngo fhura vhanwe, kana ndo di engedzela tshivhalo tshanga.
Kha hoku kuitele kwashu, u nekedzana ha maapula lwa tshi digital zwi vho fana na u nekedzana maapula a vhukuma. Zwi vho fana na u vhona apula li khou bva tshandani tshanga li khou dzhena tshi kwamani tshanu. Ende sa musi ro dzula bangani, u nekedzana hohu hu khou to toda vhathu vhavhili fhedzi – nne na inwi. Ari ngo toda vho-Tomasi uri vha vhe thanzi.
Nga inwe ndila, zwidi fana na apula la vhukuma.
Zwi takadzaho ndi uri hou u nekedza hetshe digital. Ri nga nekedzana maapula a 1000, kana a 1 million, kana .00001. Ndi nga kona u ni rumela one nga u to putedza khomputha. Ende futhi ndi nga kona u ni rumela one ndi seli ha mashango.
Ndi nga kona na u rumela zwinwe zwifhiwa khathihi na haya maapula. Athiri zwi digital. Ndi nga kona na u rumela mulaedza, kana manwalo a ndeme sa dzi kontraka, kana thanziela (certificate nga tshikhuwa), kana basa.
Ndi zwavhudi nga maanda. Ri nga thogomela hani na u anganyela mutengo wa aya maapula nga ndila yo fanelaho. Ana vhuthogwa, asi zwone?
Vhunzwi ha vha tevheli vha heyi Bitcoin vha tshe kati na u haseledza heli fhungo. Hu magudedzi a ekonomi, vho rapolotiki, na vha siki vha dzi khomputha, vhothe vha kati na u haseledza heli fhungo. Azwi nyagi na thetshelesa zwothe zwine vha amba. Vhanwe vha hone vho talifha, vhanwe vho fara zwisi ngoho, vhanwe vhari maitele haya ndi a ndeme, vhanwe vhari hana mushumo, vhanwe vho no mbo vhea na mutengo: R1300 apula lithihi, vhanwe vho vhari ndi musuku wa digital, vhanwe vhari Bitcoin heyi i fana na tshelede, vhanwe vhari i fana na maluvha, vhanwe vhari I do shandukisa li fhasi, vhanwe vhari ndi mulilo wa matanga.
Na nne ndi na kuvhonele kwanga vho.
Itsho ndi tshitori tsha linwe duvha. Zwa zwino ni vho divha nga ha Bitcoin u fhira vhanzhi.

# I AM HODLING
by GameKyuubi [2013/12/18](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0)
I type d that tyitle twice because I knew it was wrong the first time. Still wrong. w/e. GF's out at a lesbian bar, BTC crashing WHY AM I HOLDING? I'LL TELL YOU WHY. It's because I'm a bad trader and I KNOW I'M A BAD TRADER. Yeah you good traders can spot the highs and the lows pit pat piffy wing wong wang just like that and make a millino bucks sure no problem bro. Likewise the weak hands are like OH NO IT'S GOING DOWN I'M GONNA SELL he he he and then they're like OH GOD MY ASSHOLE when the SMART traders who KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING buy back in but you know what? I'm not part of that group. When the traders buy back in I'm already part of the market capital so GUESS WHO YOU'RE CHEATING day traders NOT ME~! Those taunt threads saying "OHH YOU SHOULD HAVE SOLD" YEAH NO SHIT. NO SHIT I SHOULD HAVE SOLD. I SHOULD HAVE SOLD MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY SELL AND BOUGHT MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY BUY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT NOT EVERYBODY IS AS COOL AS YOU. You only sell in a bear market if you are a good day trader or an illusioned noob. The people inbetween hold. In a zero-sum game such as this, traders can only take your money if you sell.
