The notion #Bitcoin must scale by being used for every economic tx doesn’t map to history.

Historically, in-kind trade (barter) existed alongside trade based in precious metals like gold and silver.

Barter complements Silver & Gold.

Silver & Gold might complement #Bitcoin.

Money, at its root, represents a standard of value that people can use to compare to other goods and services to calculate hierarchies of value.

In this sense, #Bitcoin ’s Price Signal will become the benchmark people use to calculate a hierarchy of value.
