What Im essentially saying is that the blockchain for bitcoin operates in the same way an encrypted messaging app like WhatsApp does. It’s an encrypted set of numbers/letters (cryptography) we send and receive. I understand you have the ability to utilize messaging through sending bitcoin but I guess im saying that if we say that bitcoin is money, then governments who are socialists, communists etc have the ability to shut down bitcoin operations in their respective countries.

I get where you're getting at. You're basically talking about this case: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/04/remembering-case-established-code-speech but applied to bitcoin.

Here's some context where this has been talked about before:

There's the other aspect which is simply that money is speech: https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/citizens-united-explained

But I also like this thread from punk 6529 (even though the poor soul got tricked by the scam that is Ethereum) https://twitter.com/punk6529/status/1494444624630403083

psst This is the kind of stuff you gotta post when you write a post like this. Brain stimulating stuff that supports what you're trying to say and makes the reader "hmmm"
