Short explainer video – for YouTube general education
This is the script used to generate the video, just in case, a better version is required:
Opening Shot: Visual of various forms of money through the ages—shells, wheels, beads, cows.
Narrator: "What do we all use money for? Throughout history, money has taken many forms—from shells to cows. But no matter the form, money has always served three essential roles."
Cut to Animation: Three icons representing the functions of money.
Narrator: "First, it's a unit of account, helping us measure and compare value. Second, it's a medium of exchange, making it easier for us to buy and sell goods. And third, it's a store of value, allowing us to save and plan for the future."
Transition to a Modern Setting: Visuals of people using digital and traditional currency.
Narrator: "In today’s world, whether it's the US dollar or Bitcoin, the effectiveness of money depends on how well it performs these roles. You can choose to spend your money or save it—but you can’t do both at the same time."
Visual Explanation: Graphs showing stability of various currencies.
Narrator: "The safety of storing your money, the ease of spending it, and the stability of its value all influence a currency’s strength compared to others."
Closing Shot: Logo of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
Narrator: "So, next time you use money, think about these three fundamental roles. For more insights, check out the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis."
End Screen: “Learn more about the economics of money at [this web site here….].”
Web site text:
As promised in our advertisement, below is the link to the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank website, which confirms what we've stated: money consistently serves as a unit of account, a medium of exchange, and a store of value. Here is the direct link for further verification and to satisfy legal requirements: St. Louis Fed on the Functions of Money.
Moving beyond formalities, we assert that the exchange value of any currency is inherently linked to its utility in three key roles:
As a Unit of Account: This necessitates a stable and spendable money supply.
As a Store of Value: This requires the ability to prevent anyone but the legitimate owner from using the currency.
As a Medium of Exchange: This involves ensuring that the recipient of a payment can independently verify its authenticity, exemplified by transactions like the increase of Bitcoin in a recipient’s wallet. Or in a decrease in the number of $20 bills after you’ve paid for gas.
Today, various government-issued fiat currencies, the 30 most liquid of which are traded on the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex Market), coexist with alternative currencies like Bitcoin. Bitcoin meets these three monetary functions, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of the US—a definitive authority as the issuer of the US dollar.
Bitcoin's legitimacy as a real currency is evident from its market capitalization exceeding a trillion dollars and the recent issuance of Bitcoin-backed ETFs by major financial firms like Fidelity and BlackRock. These developments position them as legitimate Bitcoin custodians in the real world, provided there is no breach of federal law.

summary — reason
Nature of Reasoning: Reasoning can involve deductive, inductive, and abductive processes. While deductive reasoning is logical and should lead to the same conclusions given the same axioms and facts, real-world reasoning is influenced by individual experiences, knowledge, and interpretation, which can introduce variability.
Scientific Theories and Facts: Scientific theories are developed to describe, explain, and predict phenomena based on objective facts and evidence. They are rigorously tested and refined over time. Although theories aim to reflect reality accurately, they are not immutable truths but models that are subject to revision based on new evidence.
Role of Axioms in Science: In science, theories are often deductively derived from a set of axioms. If these axioms and the rules of inference are consistent, logically sound theories should be deduced. However, in empirical sciences, axioms can be theoretical assumptions that require empirical validation.
Simplicity vs. Complexity in Theories: Fewer and simpler axioms are preferred under the principle of Ockham's Razor, as they reduce the potential for foundational errors. Theories derived from fewer axioms might be more complex in their deductions to cover the same range of phenomena. While simpler in terms of foundational assumptions, these theories are not inherently more accurate but are often more generalizable and easier to test empirically.
Empirical Validation and Theory Robustness: The accuracy and robustness of scientific theories are determined not just by their logical derivation but by their alignment with empirical data. Theories are continually tested against observations and experiments, and the most robust theories are those that combine empirical comprehensiveness with theoretical parsimony.
