- Where a digital coin actually exists
- The mechanism that prevents double-spending/copy-pasting
- Traditional banks use centralized private databases
- Crypto relies on decentralized public verification
- Value comes from collective trust and market demand
- Value is driven by the coin's limited supply (scarcity)
