Das Problem ist, dass

... die Bitcoin-Anhänger nicht im Ansatz begriffen haben,
was Geld
ist.

... viele nur die Bitcoins sehen, aber nicht im Ansatz begriffen haben,
dass gerade eine Lawine im Anrauschen ist.

"By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact
on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s."

Paul Krugman hat damals im Jahr 1998 nicht erkannt, was er vor sich sah.

Bitcoin isn’t Money—It’s the Internet of Money

Krugman was dead wrong, but rather than mocking a man who now says he does
not “claim any special expertise in technology,” I think we are better served
by fleshing out the extremely apt Internet:communication::Bitcoin:finance
analogy his critics raise. If we can see why Krugman might have thought that
the Internet would not be significant, we might come to understand why many
smart people think Bitcoin isn’t compelling and be able to explain why
they’re wrong.

[...]

Most of Bitcoin’s critics are making a category error. They are taking aim at
Bitcoin the currency, when in fact Bitcoin is much more than a currency, in
the same way that the Internet is much more than the telecommunication
services that preceded it. It may take some time, but we will likely one day
look back at the critics’ current statements with as much derision as we do a
comparison of the Internet to a fax machine.
