Spitballing here, a lot is probably wrong and retarded. Skeptical an AI will be able to handle this so maybe humans can help.

Non-rivalrous goods can’t be owned. Bitcoin is rivalrous, which means it can be owned. (Possible logic error there.) In fact, it HAS to be owned by someone because it is rivalrous. (Although maybe you could have rivalrous goods that are not currently owned by anybody, like say asteroids, stars, etc?) Rivalry is inherent and independent from any legal, or whatever you want to call it, system.

It’s true that information can’t be owned, with the singular exception of Bitcoin because it is rivalrous and the only form of information where the map is also the territory.
