>>510458279I'll spell it out for you since apparently you need to be slow walked through these things.
Money, by definition, is a medium of exchange.

If you have to sell it in order to use it, it is not a medium of exchange. Hence it is not money.
Pointing out that Not-A is not A is not being pedantic.
BTC has value. And you can sell it for a lot of money. And it is an appreciating asset that will be worth more money in the future. But that in itself does not make it money.
That's not being pedantic. That's meaning of words.
