But if bitcoin is money, why is it measured in dollars? As is gold, and everything else.

It’s a foreign exchange thing.

Different money is typically expressed at the exchange rate.

It just depends on who's doing the measuring and what they decide to trade in. US Dollars is common but certainly not required.
