It's lack of fungibility.

It's funny that some of us Bitcoin OGs are even in the weird position of explaining to Bitcoin newcomers (in my definition all those who were on boarded in the KYC era from 2012-2024) what makes money actual money. And why Bitcoin in its current form is great, but not money.

You simply can not leave out one essential function of money like fungibility and claim to solve the problem on an abstracted layer as a derivative with different tradeoffs.

Bitcoin is an asset. A commodity. Might even become the reserve asset.

P.S. Those conversations with Bitcoiners make me almost feel the same as explaining to Normie's, why credit (all fiat except cash) is not money.
