    Bitcoin as money has already succeeded. It is being used every hour of every day as money, and has been now for several years.https://twitter.com/roysebag/status/813442224985899008 …

    if the experiment succeeds would be first time an abstract "commodity" becomes so desired to ascend as money by free market.

        but as you illucidate with wampum, money can't just succeed it must cannibalize or it's usage declines asymptotically.

        The subsequent growth or decline has nothing to do with how it originated, it has to do with demand for it as money.

        It's truly zero sum IMO and why I believe the great challenge to academic debate is how a non-natural element ascends as money

        @bobbyclee But it is failing as a payment network at scale. It can't scale without consensus and there is no consensus.

        Regression theorem is important but its not why precious metals ascended as money. It explains other pheonomena

        what allowed bitcoin beyond any other experiment to succeed and ascend is its utility beyond just money as global hashing rights
