    In an email to Barron’s the head of the SIPC cast doubt on

    of SIPC. “Cash deposited for other reasons would not be 
    protected.”

Gold and tulips are commodity currencies, they have value outside of their uses as a currency.

The dollar and bitcoin are not commodity currencies, i.e., they have no value or use outside of their use as currencies.

Whether bitcoin can be called a 'fiat' currency is debatable because it's not a currency "by fiat", though "fiat" currency has come to mean a non-commodity currency.

    Basically, write Javascript without functional programming techniques. That doesn’t seem like a good solution.
