I also put `ipfs` in that category, of ya, maybe this will be interesting / enabling.

Bitcoin is internet money. Yes, it is also totally full of scams, pump and dump schemes and everything else, but it is the nearest analog to the web for money anybody has come up with. It is decentralized, open, resistant to attack and open to everyone on the globe.

Whether it is viable from a political (and to some extent technical) aspect is still an open question, but as a standard it is pretty awesome.

I don't know if it will last or manage to deliver on its promises in the end, but for me it fits in the same mold as the original web.
