I guess my quibble is more that we casually call it “investing”, rather than something else entirely. Not that it’s not useful, or anything like that.

Yeah, agree with andy above. In the US they have the Howey Test, which is as good a definition as any: "investment of money in a common enterprise with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the efforts of others."

Isn't @slippers point that only in the very first transaction does the money go to the common enterprise? Or at least that's part of the point.
