The dollar is, whether I like it or not, a unit of account. #Bitcoin, whether one likes it or not, is a nascent form of money. Therefore, the milestone of dollar parity is noteworthy because both are related to money unlike filet mignon, unicorns and leprechauns.
Or perhaps I’m completely off the mark and both the dollar and Bitcoin will, in the fullness of time, take their place in the scrap heap of history.
