The distinction between bytes and bricks is not a good one. I use bytes to buy and sell gold, bytes to keep track of it, etc. Bytes are merely symbolic representations of bricks. Bytes cannot be eaten, used, etc., but are useful so long as the underlying brick is useful. If you care to, a byte may be transformed into a brick, though this alchemy is more difficult for some bytes than others. A very goodly portion of my gold is in bytes which are useful only when I wish to do something with the interest they represent. They are otherwise inert, useless, impractical. A bare-bum Aztec would laugh at them. I am not as secure in this arrangement as I would like to be, but convenience has trumped absolute security.
