Title: Bitcoins Are Intellectual Property
Post by: notbatman on March 26, 2014, 08:32:42 AM
The blockchain is a record of who owns how many Bitcoins. The Bitcoins have no physical properties, they don't change over time and they don't occupy any space.

I suggest that Bitcoins are intellectual property based on the fact that it's an intangible asset. The encryption enforces the copyright.

This is totally not true!  Batman has shoes.  Bitcoin has no shoes - therefore bitcoin cannot be Batman.  QED.  God you people have no logic skills at all.

This is totally not true! Batman's shoes are really Bruce Wayne's shoes. Therefore Batman has no shoes and can be Bitcoin.

This is also not true! Batman and Bruce Wayne have no shoes! They're drawings!

Therefore, Bitcoin can be Batman! Or the whole justice league for that matter!

Did You Say “Intellectual Property”? It's a Seductive Mirage (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.html.en)

This is not the first time I have seen people compare Bitcoin to DRM :P
