It's a virtual and physical asset, a stock in the network, a form of exchange (currency-value), and a commodity, all at the same time.

It can be spent, traded, earned, lost and destroyed... But not duplicated, extended in whole volume, or directly regulated beyond acceptable network programming. Thus, not a FIAT. (Just for the anti-counterfeiting alone, it will save us billions in losses. Ahem, Russia, Zimbabwe-dollars.)

How stupid you sound... No, it is not a "physical asset", it is not a "stock in the network" and it is not a "commodity". You barely got right about the medium of exchange.

Yes, it can be "duplicated" (a.k.a. double spend), it can be "extend in whole volume" and it can be "directly regulated".

 it has another fatal economic flaw. Only 21 million units can ever be issued, and a fixed money supply is incompatible with a growing economy.

lol Cheesy that's one of cryptocurrencies' best points, how much are these guys getting paid to write this unconvincing bullshit?

It can be a good point for an electronic medium of exchange, but it is not the best point for a REAL economy.

By the way, I am sure the guy must be paid better than you.

But BTC does lack the properties of real currency... that is why it was created... If it acted like a FIAT, it would be a failure of a design.

That is like saying an airplane is not like a car... No shit! I drive a car to work, down the road. I fly a plane to work, overseas!

MIT technology does not believe in Bitcoin.
They endorsed an article called: "Bitcoin Lacks the Properties of a Real Currency"
