Part 5/8:
Andreas underscores that creating isolated "intranets of money" is counterproductive unless they connect—much like isolated corporate networks ultimately needed the internet to truly thrive. Bitcoin, he asserts, is the "internet of money," serving as a universal, uncensorable system that can interoperate with other systems to form an open financial ecosystem.
He dismisses narrow-use coins—such as JPMorgan Chase’s private currency—as interests limited to specific institutions or niche fandoms, likening their potential success to that of trivial tokens like "JustinBieberCoin." These may serve particular communities but will not challenge the broad, transformative reach of Bitcoin.
