Couldn't you do that with gold or even earlier, seashells?

  You can't send gold over the Internet. The question isn't whether Bitcoin lets you do things that couldn't be done before, it's whether those things are valuable.

  Not advocating Bitcoin but it's a lot easier to have your gold or seashells stolen than Bitcoin.

    I'm not sure that's actually true, given how common software security vulnerabilities are.
