Bitcoin is certainly not a stock, I agree with that ๐ฏ. But I do think money has certain equity-like qualities, and the boundaries aren't necessarily clearly defined. For example, a stock can also function as a store of value. And executives are often paid part of their compensation in stock or stock options, so a stock can also have a medium of exchange application. That doesn't make stocks money, but it does blur the boundaries between what money is and is not, and raise questions about how different forms of money will function based on their specific qualities.
