Money is a telos. \"Bitcoin is money\" is a teleological assertion, not a conclusion. Arguing it this way is a category error.\n\nI 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. \n\nFunctionalism is retarded and dishonest. I bet you all use your cars to drive around and your front door to shut your house. Please.\n\nBitcoin 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.\n\nPs, 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. \n\n"}
