I don't think btc behaves like a currency at this point, and I don't think it has to. It has traits of more than one asset class now, and its place in the markets and role in financial systems is still evolving.

What position a person takes on btc will relate to their understanding and analysis of many different factors, from global macro trends to the underlying tech and mathematics to the political and regulatory trends. I don't think anyone worth listening to on the topic lacks curiosity and an open mind to the possibility of being wrong, because it's a piece in a very complex and still-emerging puzzle. That applies whether you're a supporter or detractor. The global financial and economic landscape is in a period of significant change. Many chips are yet to fall and people at this point just need to make their own bets based on the best knowledge and analysis they've got.
