Money is a telos. &#34;Bitcoin is money&#34; is a teleological assertion, not a conclusion. Arguing it this way is a category error.&#xA;&#xA;I could say &#34;there&#39;s no such thing as a knife because I could use it to put my shoes on&#34; but that&#39;s bongwater. So what. We can&#39;t have a meaningful conversation about how to design or maintain a good knife if we devolve into postmodern sophistry. &#xA;&#xA;Functionalism is retarded and dishonest. I bet you all use your cars to drive around and your front door to shut your house. Please.&#xA;&#xA;Bitcoin is money. Take it as a warcry. If I catch you with my chef&#39;s knife in your shoe, you are no longer invited to dinner.&#xA;&#xA;Ps, iirc, Major Lowery is making a much more interesting point about Bitcoin&#39;s deeper significance AS MONEY as a means of non-violent power projection, not engaging in reletavistic brainslop in defense of shitcoining. &#xA;&#xA;</html></oembed>
