Cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin are not nor they ever were close to be money. At best they are tokens used in currency transactions. In that sense they are used as some drug communities use detergent packages. So, it doesn't really matter if the current supply of tokens isn't managed becau,se although the price of each token may fluctuate, its main use is enabling decentralized transactions across the internet, just like junkies exchange Tide bottles for a dose.
