From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's seen as an investment, yes. Those are important factors for a currency, I agree.
Is there a part where you meant to connect these dots to substantiate the first statement about it being a problem that it's seen as an investment?
Edit: I get it, you're saying it's a problem with the idea that Bitcoin should be used as a currency in everyday transactions. I don't think that's a popular use case for Bitcoin, though. I wouldn't use "digital gold" for everyday transactions, similarly to how I wouldn't use real gold. That's not really a problem with Bitcoin though, more of a misunderstanding of it
