The currency attribute of Bitcoin is not agreed by governments in the form of laws and regulations, but is determined by the technical characteristics of Bitcoin itself. Regardless of whether the government recognizes it as a currency or the government does not recognize it as a currency, Bitcoin itself has the attributes of currency.
Well well, there is no role of the government in the bitcoin or crypto space except getting scared out of it and putting bans on it!
Who says Government needs to recognise bitcoin as currency and then only we can call it as currency? Bitcoin is all public, made from enthusiast Mr. Satoshi with the vision of making transaction system more or less public intellect rather than having dependency on the current government or central banking system.
The whole point is, if they are not regulating it since the beginning or if they were not the one to approve it then how come their decision is influencing in terms of calling bitcoin as currency or not.
