If it's intended to be a store of value, it's an asset, not a currency. Like property.

I think I do not understand. If I possess a certain amount of currency, is it not my property?

And why would it matter what's the "intended" usage of it? Who determines intent? Might every holder of the asset/currency/property (whatever one calls it) have different intentions for it?

Things have meanings in legal terms that are different from conversational terms, you know.
Property, as in real estate. :)
