> For the cherry on top, it links Medium as a main source. No, I link Medium as a good explanation. Is there a reason an easy to understand explanation can't

  Are you familiar with the idiom "cherry on top"? There were two much more important reasons before that one. If you want to defend your comment, start with those. And if you were correctly representing the Medium article, then it's still a bad argument for the reason I gave. I would recommend using a different argument, or finding a more correct point to draw from that article. But then, as mentioned before, you were still blowing up a tangential, non-central point (whether bitcoin is "a currency"), and that still makes it an unhelpful comment, for making the point there. The comment would have communicated just about the same thing if it said, "bitcoin's value, like any financial asset, is determined by the market"; nothing in the comment was making major inferences specifically from bitcoin's status as a currency.
