It's Mystery for Governments for sure. Governments are "lame", they can't stop this revolutionary magical money that provides us freedom to use it as property, commodity or currency.

Let's see what @Undisciplined, @siggy47 and @kepford have to say about this definition.

I just picked "money" and had the same thinking as @TNStacker #595232.

Real money is an amazing social technology. Many good things are downstream of real money, just like many bad things are downstream of fiat money.

reply

@ek and/or @k00b, I'm getting a "retry payment" even though my wallet is amply funded.

I just paid it with my connected Alby wallet.

When you comment?

reply

It only happened on the one comment, so far. #595368

I clicked "retry payment" several times, but it just kept bringing up the QR code.

reply

Shipped a fix. Let me know if it happens again.

Prior to the fix, when paying with the custodial wallet, all errors were assumed to be due to insufficient funds. So you probably experienced a transient wallet-unrelated error, and we mistakenly fell back to non-custodial.

reply

Thanks, that should give me enough to go on.

reply

Yes, this is mystery for governments.

reply

I feel like magic and freedom sums it up pretty well.

reply

Money. Everything else is a result of real money.

reply

That's my answer exactly.

Revolution!

I think all the words relate or describe Bitcoin.

A very good poll! Surely, I will get an idea when other Stackers reject some words. It will be interesting.

April 23, 2011 date of his last correspondence

2011 was the year of Silk Road and Wikileaks. Both relied on bitcoin for settlement and donations.

I've never heard magic & mystery before interesting....

Other than those two, It is closest to freedom IMO or all of the above.

reply

Bitcoin unites the world

Bitcoin is magic; it has captivated me for years as I delve deeper into it.

reply

I think the most accurate is commodity, since definition of commodity is vague...

It's also accurately characterized as money, property and it is a revolutionary technology.

Independence

Sound money that ushers in a sound society.

Oxymoron Everyone thinks it's dead when it's alive as never before
