Iâve been in Bitcoin for eight years now, and one of the hardest things Iâve faced is explaining Bitcoin to someone new. Whenever someone asks, âWhat is Bitcoin, and why is it important?â I struggle to give them something short and impactful. Iâve always sent people to resources like Mike Maloneyâs Hidden Secrets of Money or Saifedean Ammousâ The Bitcoin Standard. Donât get me wrongâboth are excellent. But letâs be real: Maloneyâs 10-part video series and Ammousâs 300+ page book can overwhelm beginners.
Thatâs why Iâm so excited about this new Bitcoin explainer video by Joe Bryan titled âWhatâs the Problem?â Itâs been going absolutely viral on X (formerly Twitter) for good reason. Big names like MicroStrategyâs Michael Saylor and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong have shared it. Armstrong even called it âa great articulation of just how foundational sound money is to a prosperous society. Bitcoin is a moral imperative.â
The video is just 40 minutes long, and it hits all the key points in a way thatâs simple, clear, and visually engaging. It explains the problems with fiat money, the consequences of those problems on society, and how Bitcoin offers a solution. What I love about it is how ânormie-friendlyâ it is. The language and graphics arenât intimidating or overly technicalâtheyâre designed for someone who knows nothing about Bitcoin.
Honestly, this is the first time Iâve seen a video that perfectly captures why Bitcoin matters without overwhelming people. Itâs now my go-to resource. Next time someone asks me about Bitcoin, Iâm sending them this video.
If youâre a Bitcoinerâor if youâre just curious about Bitcoinâwatch this video. Share it with your friends, your family, and anyone who needs to understand. And Joe, if youâre reading this, thank you for making something so valuable and accessible.
