Likewise. However, my point stands. I think it is important to realistically evaluate the limitations of bitcoin rather than going all heads over heels about how bitcoin "fullfills all of" the characteristics of money. Although my point is elementary, I was surprised to see that it not obvious to some.
The ability for a currency to be transfered physically with no electricity, no computer, just "from hand to hand", is very good indeed. And indeed you can't do that with bitcoins.
But the thing is that the ability to be transfered instantanously in very long distance with almost no cost is just about as good. You can't do that with physical bank notes.
There are things you can do with bitcoins, that you can't with bank notes, and reciprocally. Both currencies are "portable", but in different spaces : physical space for bank notes, cyberspace for bitcoins.
Now you can deny cyberspace has as big an economic importance than physical space if you want. I don't.
