Good question. I think all these terms are a result of the century of fiat and the debate over their semantics is a distraction. Bitcoin is (the discovery of) money (although I’m highly partial to “speech”) and all prior monies were merely approximations of money, just like the Romans hadn’t discovered the number zero, but had placeholder approximations for zero that were wildly inferior and hampered their mathematics.
