Cyrptocurrency is neither a commodity nor a currency. The lack of clarity about its origin is another big issue related to cyrptocurrency like bitcoin. In earlier days, highly priced metals like gold, silver, etc. were used as currencies. They also claim that it is not controlled by any government.
