Seems to me there are two separate conversations going on here. One is about fast, direct transactions. In the UK we take this for granted. People in the USA tend not to realise how primitive their banking systems are in comparison with civilised countries.

The other, more fundamental, conversation is about what defines money and gives it meaningful value. Only governments can do that. Bitcoin doesn't qualify, and its supposed value is spurious.
