Something which exists in a physical medium is potentially tangible as it is an physical actuality and not simply a concept. There are two parts to each object in linguistics. The concept and the object. The concept is the thought of the object or the label or whatever it is that is being said of the object. The object is the literal physical entity.
Cryptocurrency exists as more than a concept. It is also a physical object or collection of physical objects in the form of electrical charges.
You can capture that charge and move it about. Which means it is capable of being handled albeit with something like a memory card or hard drive. But it still has a physical existence.
It certainly possesses a greater physical existence than credit. Which really truly is nothing more than concept until it has been paid.
