fiat currency is um... currency... none of us were alive when people were last paid with money
money means a coin, usually made of gold, silver or copper, and the reason, because you can't manufacture those substances out of hot air

Anything can be money
technically, money is literally a coin
the bulgarian word is "moneta" but money is called "pari"
to say there is equivalence between coins and money is like saying that AI is art
art.... ificial see, it's art!
Definitions are not an argument.
Anything can be used as money.
The "best" money has certain qualities, ones you get from metals being coined. Ones bitcoin has.
The "dollar" technically isn't money, it's fiduciary media, but the minted paper is treated as money.
You're dragging me off topic.
My point is, what would you be doing right now with your "earnings" if bitcoin didn't exist?
Some would say they would be saving in gold and silver.
Some would say they would be investing in securities.
Most, in reality, would not be saving anything.
i would probably be dead by now if bitcoin did not exist, shit has got really dark man
and arguing that people have swallowed keynes because like Lenin said if you debase currency people lose faith in it, is not an argument either
