No one is saying they are. That's why "it's like" was used, figure of speech. Bitcoin however could be considered a product as the definition of product means it's a thing resulting from an action or process.

Money in the *free market* tends towards winner-take-all. Gold was *the* global money at the peak of the Gold Standard in the late 1880s. One money eliminates frictions in commerce and maximizes liquidity and saleability for as many people as possible.

To answer your first question, current BTC competitors are much, much weaker in terms of security, decentralization, cost of running a full node, credibility of monetary policy, existing ecosystem / monetary network effects, liquidity:pic.twitter.com/9PdSZ73JNd

To answer your second question, other usecases might exist, but 1) they are 1000x smaller than money, 2) those tokens don’t accrue value. For cryptoassets, Value accrues to only something you want to hold for a long, long time. That’s only a Monetary Store of Value. This is why:
