You literally just defined the attributes of a currency. The only difference is that crypto isn’t backed by a government.
Edited. See below. Apparently some crypto is government backed. There is no functional difference between traditional currency and (at least some) crypto.
The big difference is that crypto is “decentralized”. Traditional currency is, to some extent, controlled by a central bank. The CB seeks to ensure price stability.
Digital cash schemes are much older than bitcoin/crypto. It’s not “crypto” just because it’s digital money.
