Control is not in fact part of the dictionary definition of either word.

The distinction between savings and investment, according to the dictionary, appears to turn on intent - conservation/preservation versus growth/return

If you think gold is the best tool for saving, that’s perfectly reasonable and you’re free to argue that point, but is there really a need to redefine words in the process?

From your own definitions

saving - setting something aside for the future

investing - expending resources/money in hope of a reward

either the resources are set aside (not expended) or they are expended

It really is black and white, it really is what I'm saying (although the exact wording is slightly different)

You are adamant that bitcoin is an investment and not savings, but held in self-custody, it is not expended, and there is no possibility of growth

These definitions, which are not mine, they are the dictionary’s, are not the same as yours
