Digital money with a fixed supply (21 million). Nobody can print more, and every transaction ultimately settles on a public ledger anyone can audit.
Bitcoin is the first and most secure public monetary ledger: anyone can verify the total supply and watch transactions settle without trusting a bank or government.

Inflation and rising costs hit Arkansas earners first. Bitcoin lets you park part of your work outside the dollar system, in something with a fixed supply and a public, verifiable ledger.
For Arkansas families: In 2020, a gallon of milk in Arkansas cost about $2.50. By 2024, it's closer to $4.00. Your dollars bought less—but you didn't get a pay raise to match. Bitcoin lets you park a small slice of your earnings outside that system.
For service workers: If you saved $1,000 in cash in 2010, it buys about $700 worth of goods today due to inflation. Bitcoin's fixed supply means no one can print more to dilute what you've saved.
For local businesses: Every time the Federal Reserve prints money, it quietly takes purchasing power from your register and your employees' paychecks. Bitcoin is a public ledger—everyone can verify the supply. No surprises.
