Hey there,

Let’s talk about something that’s quietly changing the world—cryptocurrency. If you’ve heard people throwing around words like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or blockchain and felt lost, you’re not alone. I used to feel the same way. I still feel the same way. But this year, I’m diving in to learn all I can and I will be journaling my experience as I go along. I’d love for you to join me on this journey.

Here’s why I think we all need to get serious about crypto now:

A Quick History Lesson

Back in 1971, President Nixon did something that changed money forever—he unpegged the US dollar from gold. Before then, every dollar was backed by gold in a vault somewhere. But after this move, money became... well, just paper backed by trust.

Since then, inflation has been on a steady rise. Think about how much a loaf of bread cost ten years ago compared to today. The more money governments print, the less valuable it becomes.

Now, here’s where cryptocurrency comes in.

Crypto: The New Gold?

Cryptocurrency isn’t just digital money. It’s designed to be scarce and secure. Take Bitcoin, for example. There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoins. That’s it. No one can decide to “print more” like they do with dollars or pounds. This limited supply is why many people compare Bitcoin to gold—it’s a store of value that can’t be inflated away.

But crypto goes beyond being a digital version of gold. It’s also starting to function like real money. You can use it to buy things, pay for services, and even send money to someone on the other side of the world in minutes.

Why Crypto is Becoming More Valuable

Every time the banks print more money to “help” the economy, they’re actually making your savings worth less. But with crypto, the opposite happens. As more people trust and adopt it, the value increases.

Think about it: no middlemen (like banks) taking a cut, no hidden fees, and no government telling you how much you can or can’t have. Crypto puts the power back in your hands.

Is Crypto Replacing Regular Money?

Not yet—but it’s heading in that direction. Some countries are already adopting crypto as legal tender. Big companies like Tesla, Microsoft, and even some fast-food chains now accept it. And with inflation eating into the value of traditional money, more people are seeing crypto as a better alternative.

2025: The Year to Get Proficient

This year, I’m committing to learning everything I can about crypto, from how it works to how to use it in everyday life. It’s not just about investing; it’s about understanding a technology that could change how we think about money forever.

If this sounds overwhelming, don’t worry. I’ll make sure to avoid/thoroughly explain the jargons while keeping things simple and sharing what I learn along the way. I think everyone should at least try to understand crypto—because whether we like it or not, it’s becoming a big part of our financial future.

I like the way you think... Now for the Shock of your Life... As I'm sure you've heard it mentioned, that the United States is about to become the Crypto Capital of the World... I'll tell you right now that it won't be Bitcoin or any of the usual Cryptocurrencies that makes this happen... Get ready for U.S. Crypto Coinage which will be "Stable" and 100% backed by "Circulating" and "Collector" U.S. Gold "Coins"... Every time a U.S. Gold Coin is Minted, the U.S. Treasury will be "allowed" to "issue" an equal "Face Value" amount of "New" U.S. Crypto Coinage... Let's just call it USCC for short... It won't be backed by Bars of Gold sitting in some unknown vault, it will be in the form of Gold Coins... Turn in One Ounce of Gold, and you will receive $90 in "New" USCC... Once issued, it will become "Existing" USCC, which can be used all over the World, by means of our new Quantum Financial System... I'm sure you're wondering why we only get $90 in "New" USCC, or $90 in Gold Coins, right...??? $90 in USCC will have the "Spending Power" of 9,000 of today's Fiat USD's... We the People are going to "Remove and Replace" physical Fiat USD's at a 100 to 1 Exchange Rate, because the Fiat USD's have already lost 99% of their Spending Power, leaving only 1%... I have many Blogs on the topic, so feel free to study what I have already written... Again, I like the way you think...

This sounds too good.

You said you've written blogs on it. Do you mind pointing me to your information sources?

I'm the Source... I've been doing my own Fine Tuning of what's to come... Just click on my screen name, and it will take you to all my Blogs...

Interesting.

I will check it out

Now that you've checked it out, what do you think...??? I'm always opened to questions...

I do have questions.

First, what is the difference between the USCC and the traditional cryptocurrency that we have today?

President Trump hasn't yet announced USCC, but it will be "Stable" and 100% backed by U.S. Gold Coins... The Traditional Cryptocurrencies (in my opinion) are "Commodities" that are constantly Fluctuating in Value... In other words, USCC will be a stable Monetary Tool, whereas Typical Cryptocurrencies are unstable Commodities... Gold Bars are also Commodities, until Minted into Coins... Another difference is that the only way to obtain "New" USCC will be with Gold, at a rate of One Ounce of Gold for $90 in either Gold Coins or $90 in USCC, or a Combination of both... Existing USCC can always be converted into U.S. Gold Coins, which the Banks will be required to have "on hand"... Naturally, USCC will be much easier to use than Gold Coins, so it's up to the person which to use for their every day spending...

I agree with everything you said. My main concern is that crypto won't be widely adopted because of fear, lack of knowledge and regulation.

With time, these concerns will be overcome.

Crypto is here to stay for good
