#WhatisBitcoin: it’s like making bread, all the ingredients were there in your cupboard all along, dormant: the flour, the yeast, the salt.
Then someone said why not make something with these. After many attempted recipes, the one #Satoshi refined became best tasting. The main ingredient not in the cupboard was the water. Though universally available, it took someone's creativity to determine that adding some water to the dry ingredients.
By creating the right balance of each ingredient and kneading the dough that gave rise to the bread. Satoshi didn't bake the bread. Rather Satoshi put it out at room temperature on the internet and let it rise on its own sufficiently. Others came along and said what do we have here, a dough ready to bake!
Developers took the rising dough and baked the bread so now everyone can get a slice of the bread. But as with all breads, there are only so many slices.
Bitcoin bread has only 21 slices or 21 million max coins to be mined. With each slice being consumed or each million being distributed eventually it will get to a point where all 21 slices have been issued out.
But you dont need the whole bread, you dont need a slice, just a crumb, a flake of the crust - little bits - Satoshis can be enough to fill your belly or your wallet as the value of each Bitcoin keeps rising even after it is baked. That means though there are only 21 million slices, a finite amount of Bitcoins to be mined, there cam be billions of bread crumbs, and each crumb increases equally as the value of the entire bread increases.
It doesnt matter where these crumbs are stored either, because the initial DNA of the bread (like a small bit of a dough can make a whole loaf rise) is carried along its path with each crumb - the code - the blockchain code is the universal yeast that maintains equal value of the Bitcoin in whatever wallet it is being store.
So the recipe Satoshi created and left to rise has become the base for many other dishes and recipes. Now that is what Bitcoin is #SatoshiBread, enjoyed universally.
