"bitcoin is money"

The definition of what is money is extremely subjective.  The history of it shows this (not the history saifedean paints). Trying to direct the development to capture a definition of money opens a huge attack vector. It's not different than trying to decide what is spam. 

Also what is the difference between the bashers slogan that bitcoin is p2p money and "bitcoin is money"  They seem like the same thing?

Transaction 8e2ee13d2a19951c2777bb3a54f0cb69a2f76dae8baa954cd86149ed1138cb6c
contains the full text of this BIP as of writing(1), while simultaneously being
compliant with that BIP.

Clearly, this approach is ineffective.
