Matters can not be created or removed. The survival and downfall of all things is merely the transformation of different matter forms.
e=mc^2
Matter and energy can be converted.
An atom is the smallest unit of ordinary matter that forms a chemical element. Every atom is composed of a nucleus and one or more electrons bound to the nucleus.
A hydrogen atom need not have one electron.
Humans can only divide or merge gold, which is the uniqueness and non-replicability of matter.
Gold can also be created
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthesis_of_precious_metalsIn my opinion, the most important basic characteristic of matters is "uniqueness" or "non-reproducibility". After a thing has this characteristic, we can call it "matter".
Matter can be divided by distinguishable and indistinguishable particles.
These can be called baryons, hadrons, or leptons.
What is the relationship between chemical elements and Bitcoin? After thinking about Bitcoin, we found that Bitcoin also has the basic properties of matter, uniqueness and non-reproducibility. We can understand that in the digital bit civilization, Bitcoin is a kind of matter, which has the basic properties of matter. It also obeys the physical laws of the world.

The biggest feature of information is that it can be copied, and there is almost no cost. When information can be copied infinitely, they lose their unique value.
Bitcoin has both properties. It has replicable and irreplicable information.
The blockchain can be copied and verified. Previous transactions can be verified by an independent observer. It is replicable.
But the keys that sign these transactions are nearly impossible (as far as we know) to replicate, so that is irreplicable.
So, much like the dualities that exist in physics, bitcoin has dualities of replicability for external observers and irreplicability for guessing keys and performing on used transactions.
