Bitcoin and The Evolution of Money as a Content Type

Bitcoin is data, and that makes it extraordinarily cheap to operate.

When a medium dominates for many years, people initially confuse the message with the medium, and they confuse the value of the message with the medium's cost. Examples, are news sites, Twitter, and Youtube.

In the end, innovation eventually overwhelms and the future moves forward.
