Except there’s no such thing as bits on the hardware level. There’s voltages. High and low. That’s usually 5V and 0V, respectively.

The broader concept holds across any writeable tape of any sort, whether it uses voltages in silicon, rocks on a beach, or exists only in a person's mind, does not matter one bit -- they're all equally powerful.
