Introduction

Bitcoin and the digital Ledger are changing the world.

  • The invention of Bitcoin meant we could quickly transfer money across the world without trust.
  • This simple fact is changing the world.
  • It is a simple solution to a complex problem.
  • And the beauty of this simple statement is that you can remove Bitcoin and insert HIve.

Body

First, I want to explain why digital ledger technology is changing the world. Please focus on three things:

First, Money is physical.

  • So it can't travel in the virtual or non-physical world of the internet.
  • Because of this fact, any physical money transfer system, which uses the internet relies on trust.

Second, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are not physical, they are virtual.

  • So Bitcoin and Hive, being cryptocurrencies, can actually travel on the internet.

Third, because cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin travel on the internet, they achieve immediate settlement, so they don't need TRUST.

  • Bitcoin, HIve and other cryptocurrencies are not physical currencies, they are virtual.
  • Because they are a virtual money, they can travel over the internet settle debts immediately. So you don't need TRUST.

Brief Comparison: Compare the Digital Ledger Money Transfer System versus the Traditional Finance Money Transfer System.

First Concept

  • We must understand that the Traditional Finance Money Transfer System can't actually transfer money over the internet.
  • The system can't do it because money is a physical thing, and you can't send physical things over the internet.
  • So in reality the current Traditional Money Transfer System sends a message, which is a promise to pay.
  • The objective proof of this statement is the Settlement Period.

Settlement Period.

  • The Traditional Money Transfer system has a settlement period, which is the period of time two parties wait for the Actual Money Transfer to Occur, after the Original Money Transfer message or Promise to Pay.
  • This takes from 2 days to 30 days.
  • Two to thirty Days for the actual Money Transfer to happen, after the Original Money Transfer message happened.

Delayed Settlement

  • This is actually called delayed settlement because it takes time: 2 to 30 days, for the actual TRANSFER of money, to catch up with the Promise to Transfer Money.

Second Concept

  • When we send cryptocurrency tokens like Bitcoin or Hive, over a Digital Ledger like we are not sending a PROMISE to pay MONEY, we are sending MONEY.
  • We know this is true, because when you get the message that someone sent you cryptocurrency, you also get the cryptocurrency.
  • This is called Immediate Settlement
  • The objective proof that Bitcoin or Hive are sent on a Real Money Transfer System, is that they have Immediate Settlement.
  • This is because with Digital Ledger Technology, the message is the money, and the money is the message.

Let me make this crystal clear.

  • If I want to pay you ten Hive for a nice cold Coca Cola, I can send you ten using a QR code and you hand me the soda.
  • The transfer of money is not delayed, it is immediate.
  • So the settlement of my debt to you is immediate, and this is a True Money Transfer. System

Concept Number Three

  • The Traditional Financial System is dependent of TRUST because the Money Transfer System doesn't transfer physical money, that is impossible. So it sends promises and receives promises.
  • So the two parties conducting business must know and trust each other that promises today will be followed by money in 2-30 days.
  • If they don't know and trust each other, somebody else has to be the middleman, someone they both TRUST, who guarantees that promises made today, will be followed by money in 2-30 days.
  • These TRUST conditions are required for a country to have access to Global Money Transfer Systems, like SWIFT for U.S. Dollars and EUROTRANSFER for EUROS.
  • This allows MONEY to flow freely between these TRUSTED entities.
  • This flow of money allows the countries in this system to flourish economically, and for their people to prosper.
  • But those countries who can't join these systems can't prosper, and their people live in poverty.

  • Bitcoin Fixed This !!

  • Digital Ledger Money Transfer Systems send MONEY, not PROMISES to PAY MONEY LATER.
  • Digital Ledger Systems don't require TRUST between Two Parties.
  • Digital Ledger Systems don't require a TRUSTED Middleman.
  • Digital Ledger Systems are open to all countries.
  • So money can flow freely, countries can prosper, and poverty can be overcome.

Last Words

  • Pause to contemplate this simple truth about the Traditional Money Transfer System and the simplicity of the solution The Digital Ledger Money Transfer System.
  • The Traditional Money Transfer System depends on TRUST, so if there is no TRUST, there is No Money, and No Money equals No Prosperity, and no prosperity equals Poverty.
  • The Digital Ledger Transfer System doesn't depend on TRUST, so there can be MONEY flows and there can be PROSPERITY.
  • Bitcoin, the world's best known Virtual Money, fixes this, problem and makes the prosperity of countries excluded from traditional money transfer systems.
  • Hive, a less known virtual money, fixes this problem.
  • The problem is that complicated, and the solution is that simple.

The End.

I certainly agree with you that the traditional way of sending physical money is limited compared to digital currency like cryptocurrency. The issue of trust is eradicated compared to physical money transfer. It is high time we embrace the digital world and focus more on doing cashless. I hope that Hive can fill in the space of btc. The reason why I said this is that Hive transaction fees is almost zero.

100%

  • I agree this is such a huge point.
  • Butcoin is a wonderful investment, a huge trailblazer in the space, but expensive transaction fees, and remaining issues of complexity with Lighning remain despite the best efforts of many developers.
  • Hive fixes this similar to Dash, faster, cheaper and more scalable. It's definitely an untapped functionality.

I hope the future of Hive is bright for us all.

It is exactly like this, digital currency has changed the way the world thinks and we will see that in the coming time we will also see a significant increase in the price of hive-value currency. Because this is an active project.

I agree 100%

Thanks alot.

This is an amazingly clear explanation of the value of digital ledgers.
Thank you
You are one of the last people deeply immersed in cryptocurrency who still speaks English

Bitcoin and generally the crypto space is definitely changing the way we transact financially and one of the things that I am really confident of is the fact that it will keep getting better and better as time goes on. Certainly

I agree 100%
