Ever wonder how money actually works? It's all ledgers. Your balance? Just entries in a massive database sitting in some central bank's server farm. Every night, banks sync up their records—transactions flow down the chain until they hit your account.

But here's the thing: there's another way. Distributed ledgers flip the whole model. Instead of one entity controlling the books, the ledger lives everywhere. No single point of failure. No midnight syncing rituals. Just a network keeping itself honest.

That's the real breakthrough.
