It is times like these I wish we could ask Satoshi or Hal to weigh in and offer their perspectives. I think Satoshi made clear what #Bitcoin is in the white paper.
Michael Saylor thinks #bitcoin is #capital, not #currency, and would like to see the world adopt the digital U.S. dollar as #money instead.
I vehemently disagree with his perspective.

That’s a dangerous way to think about things. #Bitcoin is a leaderless protocol. We are Bitcoin. It’s up to us to share our perspectives on what Bitcoin is and what it should be.
Good point, i agree with it being a leaderless protocol and that’s one of its many attractive features. i think everyone who participates in the protocol can do so for whatever reason they want, whether to transact, use it as a store of value, regard it as digital property, etc.
