Could you please explain why Bitcoin is not considered a traditional currency? It seems to fulfill many of the functions we associate with currencies, such as being a medium of exchange and a store of value. Why then, is it not classified as a currency in the traditional sense? Is it due to its decentralized nature, its volatility, or some other factor? I'm interested in understanding the nuances of this distinction and how it impacts the perception and use of Bitcoin in the financial world.
