The debate whether or not cryptocurrencies are “money” has put a spotlight on the Menger-Mises Regression Theorem.

Some have used currencies’ lack of antecedent value as knocking it off the money pedestal or as forcing cryptocurrencies to ignominiously piggyback on fiat currencies’ own regressions.
