Could you elaborate on the nature of Bitcoin and whether it should be classified as a commodity? I'm curious to understand the criteria and justification behind such a categorization. While Bitcoin functions as a digital currency and medium of exchange, does its status as a scarce and divisible asset also lend itself to being considered a commodity? Are there any regulatory frameworks or precedents that support this classification? Furthermore, how does Bitcoin's decentralized nature and lack of a central issuer impact its potential classification as a commodity? I'd appreciate your insights on this matter.
