"paying in bitcoin" you bought with actual primary currency is just using a digital debit card. it means nothing. "sharing information" depends on the information shared the analytical relationship between the individuals involved. "i have an idea: could i have that $200 dress for that idea"? depends on the interest in the seed's potential, the plant's appeal, the agreement between the individuals involved. not all value is static and measured; sometimes supply and demand in a natural market determines desireability. the hungrier the market, the more interesting the idea. and sometimes: the more careless. desperation to be relevant because the focus is on the source not the idea/seed creates bubbles within the natural development of processes. instead of "seeds grow into plants" as a general rule - it becomes "what if seeds/ideas suddenly stop being seeds"? what if they vanish? are there plants still? yes. then there are seeds. are there humans with brains? yes. then there are ideas. but environmentally, we can potentially destroy both the potential and the source with disease and angst.
