 GM Plebs. Hear me out. 

I have a real issue with the usage of "bitcoins" instead of "bitcoin". IMHO, Bitcoin is inherently plural. Also, I always imagine that the use of "s" in reference to Bitcoin is a slippery slope. 

It can "legitimize" the idea of multiple types of Bitcoin such as Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV). 

This is dangerous for newbies who can be easily led astray by scammers, including Roger Vee, the so-called Bitcoin Jesus, at least at one time pre the Blocksize Wars. 

Do you agree? 🤔 
 maybe.

its key to explain big B (network) and little b (asset). 
 Hmmm🤔You just gave me food for thought. I guess I subconsciously believed without realizing it, that they are one and the same. That is, the network IS the asset. Metcalfe law. 

Another interesting point is that, I actually think of Bitcoin as money, not an asset. For me, assets are for speculation, like securities (i.e., stocks) and bonds, to gain money. 

By contrast, money is about transacting in the market economy to acquire goods and services. Different use cases. 
 its like when tits pop out, brains shut down.
