He didn't say it's not money. He said it's not currency. There's a difference. Money is an asset that has no consumptive use, and is used to give FINAL settlement for commodity or service purchases. Currency is a coupon good for the redemption of money. Read my Article on this to understand the distinction.

Wrong. Bitcoin is money, currency and a payment network all in one. There was no such thing in human history prior to this invention. The most advanced monetary technology up to this point was gold as money, the dollar as a currency and the SWIFT as a payment network. Bitcoin serves all three functions. Stop simping for Saylor, he’s playing his own game and he’s doing more harm than good at this point.
Wrong, currency can not be final settlement that's why there are two different words. There is no distinction between a "network" and a market so that was just pulled out of your ass (especially since gold has nothing to do with swift). Study money, and get back to me. Bitcoin is money, Lightning is A currency. The "network" is your own fabrication. Bitcoin is information and as such its mode of existence is in a ledger.
