"bitcoin isnt a money bc its not accepted anywhere"
It is, in the only place that matters (to me): cyberspace.
The attempts at bitcoin "adoption" are successful to the extent the real world can leverage cyberspace. Thats it. Judging btc's claim to moneyness on the basis of real world use is a category error.
Anybody know how to send money worldwide, instantly, without censorship or middlemen? Thats Bitcoin. The money of cyberspace. Fiat wont do there.
We are far, far from real world moneyness for btc. But in cyberspace? We're winning, hard.
