C3 CRYPTOC3 CRYPTOC3 Crypto helps everyday people understand money, inflation, banking, investing, risk, and digital assets in plain English.
Start with the basics. Before crypto makes sense, money has to make sense.
Money is a tool that helps people trade, measure value, and store value for the future.
Good money is durable, portable, divisible, recognizable, accepted, and difficult to create in unlimited amounts.
Inflation is the general rise in prices over time, which means each dollar buys less.
Modern banks help create money through lending and credit expansion.
People invest to try to grow wealth, preserve purchasing power, and prepare for the future.
Risk is the possibility that an outcome may be different from what you expect.
A store of value is something people use to preserve purchasing power over time.
Bitcoin was created as a peer-to-peer digital money system that does not rely on a central authority to verify transactions.
