- Coins do not exist as files on a hard drive or phone
- The network must validate every transaction against the ledger history
- Digital scarcity is enforced by the network's consensus, not by file properties
- 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)
- Distinguishing crypto from traditional digital banking
- Why digital entries have real-world value
- The ledger is the single source of truth for the network
- The ledger is transparent and accessible to all participants
- The public address is for receiving money
