At this point... what is Bitcoin? I'm not asking for the definition of cryptocurrency, but what does it mean for people?

  Liberation from a financial system designed to exploit everyone but those who administrate it. Which does mean option one is diametrically opposed to my definition of bitcoin, if private enterprise uses proprietary additions to lock in consumers to their platforms and strattle the flow and generation of capital the way they do now. Like others say, it is a huge improvement over the status quo, but not the kind of resource I want as my store of value.

  To me it means "technological breakthrough" akin to P2P.
