I actually think its pretty accurate to call #bitcoin "digital gold." At least, right now, I do.
Several civilizations have assigned a spiritual power to gold. The Inca thought it was what the sun was made of. The alchemists used "gold" as a metaphor for spiritual awakening.
All because it's shiny, hefty, and scarce. Its these characteristics of the thing, not the thing itself, which confer mystical power to gold.
What if these characteristics could be purified and lifted from the matter? No longer held down by crude materiality, the tiniest drop of the essence of such power would move at light's speed and grant power to anyone who can catch hold of it. And to hold it, one must be transformed - one must master their animal impulses and choose tomorrow over today.
Tomorrow doesn't exist. Neither does yesterday. Only now exists. But only a rational mind can live for the future. If you can put away material greed and gluttony, then you can stack. If you can sacrifice yourself, you can accumulate power. Is it a coincidence that these patterns and phrases apply to both the spiritual and the rational? Of course not. The spiritual IS rational.
And in bitcoin, we have rationality distilled from its material matrix. We have all of the characteristics of gold, liberated from their entropic grave. It is... pushing in a direction orthogonal to the 6 cardinal directions of the phenomenological cube we're trapped within. It moves as in the directionality internal to a tessaract, as it moves according to the laws of value independent of notions of vector. Its a step closer to home... A similitude of the unity that sees itself. Perhaps a mirror...
Well. Its past midnight. GN 🌙
