JK Rowling ผู้แต่ง “Harry Potter” โพสถามว่า “Bitcoin คืออะไร”

It's a digital currency. There's ~18m units of it. It's not backed by anything, it's just valuable because it is, like collectibles.

There's a network of computers (which anyone can join) that maintains a decentralized global excel spreadsheet of how many coins each person has.

Imagine if Voldemort couldn't infiltrate the ministry of magic, and Harry couldn't break into Gringotts bank, and house elves were able to interact with the wizarding world's economy with just an internet connection

I know you mean to help, but full disclosure: I’m only allowing myself alcohol at weekends during this lockdown and I’m on my fourth very strong Old Fashioned and honestly, you might as well send me a scroll written in Sanskrit. pic.twitter.com/baMCaB1mEW
