Crypto is just fiat principles pasted onto Bitcoin like software.

It’s analogous to record labels creating a closed internet platform and still selling entire CDs as one unit for the same price as physical disks, while #Bitcoin is the suite of protocols for file sharing.

The software may look similar, but they are nothing alike.

Yes.

Good analogy, but bitcoin as file sharing touches a nerve :P

Bitcoin as file sharing works because it’s specifically open and uncontrollable. The analogy is more about the nature of the technology rather than any judgment of downloading music for free.

I read the last part as ‘life sharing’ and loved it.
