Bitcoin. I mean, it's in the name.

I think you'll excuse us as thinking that the original intent was to make, I dunno, coins, like a currency.

Yes, it may have evolved past that now, but the intent and the use of bitcoins up until maybe 13 months ago was that bitcoin was a currency. Now it's millennial gold or something. What will it be in another 13 months? Who knows.
