Bitcoin hits record high, worth more than ounce of gold for first time

That wasn’t at all my point. At all. My point was simply that understanding the ways that Bitcoin does (and, significantly, does not) resemble traditional forms of currency can lead one to a better understanding of what currency actually is, and (as you put it) the philosophy of money.

There’s little useful exposure to the realities of money in BC. Money is a tool of society, of legal sovereignty. BC is unbacked penny-stock bullshit. Read some Angus Maddison and other econ history for useful info.
