And if that's all you've seen, skepticism is a rational response. But before you write it off, let's make sure you're working from accurate information — not recycled talking points. In this video we break down the three biggest myths that keep people from taking Bitcoin seriously: Myth 1 — Bitcoin isn't backed by anything (spoiler: neither is the dollar, and hasn't been since 1971) Myth 2 — Bitcoin gets hacked all the time (the protocol has never been successfully attacked — not once since January 2009) Myth 3 — Bitcoin is just a fad or a Ponzi scheme (there's a fundamental difference between a fad and a protocol — and Bitcoin is infrastructure) We're not here to convince you of anything. Just to make sure the information you're working with is accurate. 📩 z.addair@bitcoinwell.com Chapters:  00:00 Intro & Week in Bitcoin  01:58 The Headlines That Shape What You Think About Bitcoin  03:47 Myth 1: Bitcoin Isn't Backed by Anything  04:18 What Is Your Money Actually Backed By?  05:48 What Happened in 1971  06:45 What Actually Backs Bitcoin  08:03 Myth 2: Bitcoin Gets Hacked All the Time  08:55 What Those Headlines Are Actually About  09:49 How Secure Is Bitcoin Really?  0:44 Myth 3: Bitcoin Is Just a Fad or a Scam  11:37 The Difference Between a Fad and a Protocol  12:30 Bitcoin Is Infrastructure  13:15 The Numbers Don't Lie  13:35 The Lindy Effect  14:00 Why These Myths Keep Spreading  15:21 The Real Summary  15:57 Which Myth Did You Believe the Longest?  RESOURCES & LINKS: 🚀 Buy Bitcoin/Freedom: https://bitcoinwell.com 📧 Join the Mission (Newsletter): https://bitcoinwell.com/newsletter 📊 Take the Bitcoin Survey: https://bitcoinwell.com/survey 📈 Investor Relations: https://bitcoinwell.com/investors CONNECT WITH US: 🕊️ X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/thebitcoinwell 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/thebitcoinwell ⚡ Nostr: npub19mf4jm44umnup4he4cdqrjk3us966qhdnc3zrlpjx93y4x95e3uq9qkfu2 (https://bitcoinwell.com/nostr)
