I do not understand the technical aspects So if I'm wrong, people will correct me. People download the wallets, they do not download bitcoin. People mining bitcoin, they do not download bitcoin.

I believe that there is a great difference between bitcoin and download music, video, photos from the internet

Hahahahahahaha.... how can you describe Bitcoin as downloading money into your pc. I think you should spend some time to study and research on what bitcoin is and how it operates. Bitcoin is just a digital representation or form of money. The wallets used to either receive or send Bitcoin operate similar like a bank account but has no limit to the amount of funds you send or receive. 

Mining is quite different from video downloads and the like
It's a complicated process that needs to solve highly complex algorithms
In return, the miners get paid for their work.

In what aspect he have made the description, I'm not sure about it. Earlier during the initial days even the desktops mined bitcoin. This took place as the difficulty is very less and there isn't much popularity regarding the same. Now it isn't possible any more. Now large scale computing power, electricity and various factors need to be considered while getting into mining, simply download won't pour money into the computer.

Yes, I think when money is downloadable, it absolutely sound amazing, no one can believe money can be downloaded, but think about all the altcoin, the airdrop, the soft, hard fork, the token swap, I do not know how could I describe them into mining, Bitcoin are the only one that's purely mining. But look at the technology about download, it is always changing, we used to download from Internet with just web browser, but look at what we have today, seedbox, cloud, many internet protocol, many download assists softwares, it's growing rapidly everyday, because downloading is never an easy task, and we need to constantly making it very easy.  We may not download Bitcoin, but we absolutely download the money with the use of Bitcoin, why it is possible to download money which is totally out of my mind, I couldn't connect all the dots together because it just happens. I'd rather take it for grant.



The first time I heard about mining, the first thing in my mind will be the pick axe used to mine metal, but mining Bitcoin isn't same as mining metal, it require a PC but not a pick axe, when I tell my friends it is a mining, they couldn't understand how to mine it. Well we definitely couldn't download Bitcoin, but we could be downloading money, with the help of Bitcoin and many other crypto, why it is possible is something out of this world, Bitcoin gave me a mind blown experience about money, I no longer look at money like I used to be before 2008, it changed my mindset a lot.

Yes, Bitcoin definitely highly regard as be your own bank, and I agree with the idea too, rather give your money in custody to the bank, we could be our own, but how to be your own bank? It is not easy, with the Bitcoin we can be own bank, not only we can be own bank, we can also ... Download money? And who are the money upload the money so everyone else can download? That's really exciting to discover the answer myself.





It is true for me to think about money too, we need hard work and also the pay are highly disparity to the effort you work, don't get me wrong I'm a huge advocate to working hard for a life, but the thing we have today, people are printing money rather than work for it, it make me very angry and frustrated at the sametime, and we are not allow to print money because it is illegal, but what if we could download money?

I'm totally agree with it, downloaded data aren't money, they are just data. And you may sell it for money, still they are not money.

Bitcoin mining is a process that id totally different from downloading a file from the internet. It seems like you are confusing mining with downloading and you don't understand what mining is. Miners use a special software to solve math problems that allows them to chain together blocks of transactions.

that is a horrible analogy mainly because it is misleading.

you don't download "bitcoin" (money) in your PC, you literary work for it to earn it. and not to mention even when you run a full node you are still not downloading "bitcoin", you are downloading the database (aka blockchain) which everyone else also has and that contains the record of your transactions. in other words your "money" is not even on your computer, it is in the blockchain shared by thousands of others. you only hold the "key" to "unlock" that "money" and spend it.

Probably what he meant is 'downloading money' into our bitcoin wallet.

Anyways, maybe the OP is just ecstatic to see the price of bitcoin going to $5k again and seeing his "downloaded money" growing in his desktop or laptop. 

He also touch based on having freedom as well. Yes, it has given us financial freedom, but I don't think we can get away from governments though and I don't think that we can see a nation ditching their own fiat and adopt bitcoin. Crypto will still need to be regulated by any nations.

The sentences that you give are confusing, I get your point that it is "like" downloading money if you are mining but its NOT.

Bitcoin is a type of digital currency that offers a decentralized system.
