This interests me. You are the first person i've heard arguing that its not a currency. The definition of currency is very broad and it most certainly is a currency.
What does "investment tool" mean? As a "tool" what does it to enable you to do besides buy and sell and trade as a commodity and to pay debts or pay for goods and services as a currency?
You keep calling it an "experiment" however I don't see anyone besides yourself calling it "an experiment" or acting as if failure is a likely outcome as with any "experiment".
Its quite clearly created to be a currency
