Bitcoins actually exists.

Money is not real, it is backed by nothing.

Money was not real even when the gold standard was a thing. I mean, what makes the gold valuable anyway? It just doesn't rust, it is pretty, not as rare as many people would like to believe, and the industrial applications are very limited. Gold is also backed by belief.

But bitcoin actually exists as value. It is energy manifested into wealth. Actual proof of work. Bitcoin is the proof that work has been done. Bitcoin is proven value, money is just belief. In the world of mathematics, science and objective truth, something is true and exists only if it is actually proven. I just realised.
