Yes. It must be a currency first, 100%.
We should be improving its transfer speeds and costs, not degrading them.. I trust the market to find value as it sees fit, maybe the jpgs evolve to house titles, maybe people decide to (seriously) us blocks as a time system, maybe the blockchain can be the foundational structure to a global marketplace.. All creative and potential Bitcoin uses, BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE Of ITS CORE PURPOSE! (Just read Odell’s note)
