Then the bricks in my yard are also money, except that they aren't outside the "market" that consists of me and my neighbor exchanging firewood for bricks.

That technically makes Bitcoin "money", but not in the sense I'm referring to.

Currency lacks the SoV-part, money doesn't?
Why don't you flesh this out some more? You seem to know your stuff.
