Hey, author here.

I've been a mod of r/economics for half a decade, I work as a data scientist and I have a Msc. in econometrics for what its worth on formal qualifications.

I mainly wrote this one as a go-to to point people on my thoughts of the economics of BTC as pointed out in the TLDR box

BTC is Money, perhaps even more than USD , I don’t know how old are you , but currently there are things(pure physical and digital things) that are only possible to be purchased with BTC, no other payment accepted. So yes , BTC is money , I’m close to people that only use BTC as a main exchange point for value , so BTC is money , weather you want to accept it or not is up to you

Oh nice - I actually quite like the article. Probably shouldn't have come after it so hard. I like level headed people pouring cold-water on bitcoin occasionally as it can get a bit loony.
