I’d agree with that. It’s an investment in the sense of currency speculation (which is a bit of a big bet now at this size it’s a fairly legitimate currency). It is really just a hedge and a cash position, and maybe part protest, not so much an investment. Store of value.... maybe.

I don’t think it has failed as a medium of exchange though. I used it yesterday as one. That said, it hasn’t filled as niches there, specifically the major ones.
