> Because Bitcoin is (at least theoretically) a currency. Bitcoin is many things, but pinning it as a currency is very reductionist. It can be used as a currency, but in its current form, it isn't very practical (lighting is aiming to, and will likely succeed in fixing that). It is IMOH very much more useful for all the other use cases (eg store of value, doing away with government brain-hared management of fiat currencies, etc ...)
