Ok so the white paper simply describes how Bitcoin works. It makes no recommendations on use. “Cash” just means money (bitcoins) A digital bearer instrument that can saved or spent without permission. How people decide to use that instrument (saving/spending) is their own business

Oh no not digital gold 😱
Who would have thought of that?
“As a thought experiment, imagine there was a base metal as scarce as gold but with the following properties:
• boring grey in colour
• not a good conductor of electricity
• not particularly strong, but not ductile or easily malleable either
• not useful for any practical or ornamental purpose
and one special, magical property:
• can be transported over a communications channel”
