- How both the dollar and Bitcoin have had rule changes
- Why Bitcoin transactions are faster than non-cash U.S. dollar transactions
- Why both the dollar and Bitcoin require add-on layers to facilitate transactions
- How tax treatment of a currency can encourage or discourage its use for payments
- Why divisibility is a critical attribute of any currency
- Why Bitcoin has been as volatile as the Russian ruble
- Why Bitcoin is energy inefficient while having built-in incentives to use renewable energy
