Liam Denning notes:
“Bitcoin is anything but routine, though. New, stateless, volatile, subject to cybertheft and potential government regulation, it is a currency only if you squint really hard and can jump through the hoops of actually using it. Tesla’s comment that it expects to begin accepting Bitcoin as payment in the near future is irrelevant; doing that doesn’t require hoarding it ahead of time.
