Bitcoin hate is real, here. At least.

It was in the context of the argument. What's more real about Bitcoin than bonds, options, or stock?

It felt like "real" referred to the physical: gold, food, energy, minerals, real physical things that people have a constant demand for.

It was funny to spot the odd entry, where bitcoins are fully digital and have a very socially dependent agreement and entire digital infrastructure required to keep them functioning.

Gold has a bit of a social agreement as well, but it's social agreement dates thousands of years and even if it broke away still has value as a physical material.
