I like Hudson Jameson a lot but I have to pick on him a little for this tweet.

Basically, he's complaining that bitcoin is not serving its original intended purpose as cash native to the internet.

It's not. He's right. Basically nothing is for a variety of reasons, but other networks are getting closer. If "electronic cash" ever does show up, it probably won't be on bitcoin (it will certainly be because of bitcoin, but that's another topic).

Here's why I want to pick on Jameson: I just wish we could finally retire this phony narrative of technologies failing to live up to their "intended" purpose.

It is basically always true that when people invent something that is genuinely new, the world uses it in a different way than their creator intended. This is a story as old as inventing. The fact that a technology has entered the world and escaped the gravity of the problem its creator wanted to solve is no critique.

That's just what happens. So what?
