I mean, I disagree...I think cryptocurrency is more analogous to packet routing than to some specific piece of media. CD-ROMs in particular were an evolution of physical media that had been around for a century (vinyl record, 8-track, tape, etc) and failed to anticipate the fact that the internet would render them all obsolete (or, to be fair, provided an important bridge between floppy disks and high-speed internet, CD-ROMs were the default for a decade). I'd say they're more analogous to the kludgy way we perform online transactions today, which is complex, country-specific, and crowded by intermediaries. I do agree "I'll store value using my cryptocurrency wallet" will sound anachronistic, in the same way "I'm going to dial in and log on to my service provider so I can surf the internet superhighway!" sounds quaint today. It'll just be: duh, how else would you do it? With a visa card?
