If Bitcoin is set to be just a replica of gold, where is innovation here?
An innovation does not need to be a complete alien thing.
Gold was a successul medium of exchnage of olden ages. So, obviously its replica may get more possibilities for similar success. I meant to say, if money is a product of innovation, then a latest inclusion in that series must be bitcoins.
When centralised currencies are in dominance, bringing up decentralized assets (even if it is an existing one) must be an innovation.
