Your criticism is logically backwards. Transfer of money is not just a message. It is a message, plus some other things that make it also a transfer of money. You can't reduce it to just a message being passed. It is a message, it is not just a message.

It wasn't a criticism, it was a support of bitcoins. The point is that the Supreme Court supports the notion of money transactions as free speech.
