“The reason you can’t copy and paste Bitcoin is that a Bitcoin is not a jpeg made up of 0s and 1s. Instead, when you own a Bitcoin, what you really own is the consensus view of every computer on the Bitcoin network that you have authority over 1/21M of the Bitcoin supply. In that sense, you don’t own anything tangible; you own an inalienable property right. And ultimately, that is the essence of value — unilateral control over something finite.”
