I've been in bitcoin for eight years and one of the hardest things I've faced is explaining bitcoin to someone new. Every time someone asks, “What is bitcoin and why is it important?” I strive to give you something short and impactful. I have always referred people to resources like Mike Maloney's. Hidden secrets of money or Saifedean Ammous' The bitcoin Standard. Don't get me wrong, they are both excellent. But let's be real: Maloney's 10-part video series and Ammous's 300+ page book can overwhelm beginners.
That's why I'm so excited about this new bitcoin explainer video from Joe Bryan titled “What is the problem?“ It's gone absolutely viral on x (formerly twitter) for good reason. Big names like MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong have shared it. Armstrong <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1878533823987904965″>he even called him
The video is only 40 minutes long and addresses all the key points in a simple, clear and visually appealing way. Explains the problems with fiat money, the consequences of those problems on society, and how bitcoin offers a solution. What I love about this is how “rules friendly” it is. The language and graphics are not intimidating or overly technical – they are designed for someone who knows nothing about bitcoin.
Honestly, this is the first time I've seen a video that perfectly captures because bitcoin matters without overwhelming people. It is now my go-to resource. The next time someone asks me about bitcoin, I'll send them this video.
If you are a Bitcoiner, or if you are just curious about bitcoin, watch this video. Share it with your friends, your family and anyone who needs to understand it.
