This is a confused argument. Money is a telos. "Bitcoin is money" is a teleological assertion, not a conclusion. Arguing it this way is a category error.
I could say "there's no such thing as a knife because I could use it to put my shoes on" but that's bongwater. So what. We can't have a meaningful conversation about how to design or maintain a good knife if we devolve into postmodern sophistry.
Functionalism is retarded and dishonest. I bet you all use your cars to drive around and your front door to shut your house. Please.
Bitcoin is money. Take it as a warcry. If I catch you with my chef's knife in your shoe, you are no longer invited to dinner.
Ps, iirc, Major Lowery is making a much more interesting point about Bitcoin's deeper significance AS MONEY as a means of non-violent power projection, not engaging in reletavistic brainslop in defense of shitcoining.
