bitcoin against characteristics of money:
meanwhile for social security:
- durability - does not have a physical form so cannot be damaged
- portability - again, no physical form so can be taken anywhere with ease
- divisibility - can be divided up to eight decimal places, more than fiat currency
- unformity - every bitcoin is identical
- limited supply - hard cap of 21 million
- acceptability - if I offer someone on the internet bitcoin for a service, they will gladly accept it as a payment
meanwhile for social security:
- workers all make contributions to a big pot of money
- retirees get paid out their share of the pot
- only way to refill the pot is to get more workers
- eventually there are not enough new workers to sustan the retirees and the whole system collapses
