    Bitcoin has the qualities that enable people to attribute value to it. It is transferrable, scarce, somewhat fungible, and used by enough people

How that description don't apply to tulip bulb?

For what I heard BTC is used (as a currency) by criminals, period. for the first few month you could barely buy coffee, and now it is not even a thing

So it is not a mean of exchange. Without that, it is not a currency

Edit: But i'm not a theorist. My real question is: If I want to short BTC, what am I suppose to do? Sell Electricity?
