Menger's idea of how easily a good can be exchanged near its prevailing price across scales, places and time.

Menger's idea of how easily a good can be exchanged near its prevailing price across scales, places and time.

Salability is best understood as part of a system rather than as an isolated definition. Its related coordinates show the mechanisms, incentives and historical records that give the term practical meaning.

Salability is an analytical lens, not a slogan or automatic proof that every claim about Bitcoin is correct. Use it to trace scarcity, incentives, prices, time and human choice, then compare the reasoning with the protocol’s verifiable rules.

Understanding Salability helps distinguish a verifiable Bitcoin mechanism or historical record from slogans, products and market narratives.
