You can talk about money all you want, but I'm taking about Bitcoin, which always has been and always will be more than just money.

The spammer’s camp is obviously tired of pretending they don’t want additional usecases for Bitcoin so they are saying it out loud now.

Ever read the White Paper?
Well enough to know that it's not a holy document, is incomplete at describing the system, and is often misinterpreted by religious fanatics.
Bitcoin is money.
It fulfills all three core monetary functions: it stores value, enables exchange, and measures price.
Data storage is not among them.
Yeah, Bitcoin is programmable money.
Sorry you can't handle reality.
But not well enough to realize that in the paper, Bitcoin is considered only as money. Not as a repository for cat pictures. As you seem to imply.
Like I said, it's an incomplete high level document. Bitcoin whitepaper purists should note that the following things are NOT described in the whitepaper:
script
multisig
block size
addresses
ASIC mining
mining pools
21M coin cap
decentralization
8 decimal precision
2016 block difficulty adjustment
and much, much more...
