Money is a store of value, a medium of exchange, and a unit of account. Currency is money that is created and backed by the faith and credit of a Government. Central banks control the money supply with the aim of controlling inflation and/or maximizing employment. Bitcoins supply is fixed making it deflationary. Bitcoins function more like a commodity than a currency.
