I'm not trying to say there are no other uses for whatever bitcoin is, but that some people valued bitcoin only/first for being money -- and, in the case of the early adopters, that this is a reasonable claim.

It is a reasonable claim and I agree with it.

Of course it did. I don't think that is absurd at all.

I tell my friends that seem to think money is evil that its a technology. But I like language too. Not sure I can explain it well though. Not before they doze off. Money is a tool (technology) to make exchange easier and more functional.

I love the title btw.
