I read from several related digital media, digital coin issues
The interpretation of bitcoin as a currency is largely inferred by outsiders who impose a certain view on the protocol. Without being burdened by priors, a neutral analyst might describe it as something similar to gold.
GOLD = BITCOIN?
In fact, Satoshi described PoW (proof of work) with references to gold mining, and then discussed bitcoin as analogous to a rare, inert, far portable metal that might develop a monetary premium. He clearly sees it as a gold-like commodity that will reclaim the same property in the digital world, and I think this is the most appropriate interpretation of the system.
What do you think is the next digital coin?
