Why can't it be both? Gold is both. Silver is both. Cash is both, to an extent.
I vote for both, I think it needs to be.
Topic: A currency or investment? - page 5. (Read 3455 times)
Well to me it's more of an investment project, but that wouldn't be possible if bitcoin wasn't a currency, since then it wouldn't have any reason to have value.
I see it as a store of value in near future, used by many opportunity seekers and speculators, aswell as true believers in decentralization and banking rivals.
Is there a specific reason you're asking this or?
The question was; if you can only choose between currency and investment. We know it's both.
And currencies don't oscillate in value ? Right ..
cheers

its a pointless question, its both.

for me bitcoin is more of an investment since its value increases and decreased dramatically

I currently see it as a nice investment for future use as a currency if you get what I mean.. Buy cheap now, spend while high later. 
Right now there are no many places or services accept bitcoin payment. I'll choose bitcoin as investment because right now bitcoin investment is very promising and profitable
I would imagine most users here use it for both. I was first attraction to bitcoin as a form of currency I could "legally" gamble with. Then, slowly, I learned more about it and decided to invest in it. The rest is history. 
I hope more for ways in the future to spend my coin.

I got into Bitcoin because it was a better payment method for online shopping than creditcards or wire transfers. I also do not trust PayPal. {So it started out as a currency}
The more I learned about the "store of value" potential, I started to hoard a bigger percentage of the coins I bought.
I can now say, the biggest percentage of my coins is in cold storage and I use very little for online payments and daily cofee and lunch.
It's great to have both options... You just choose, what percentage you want to use as a currency and how much you want to invest for later.

Alright. I have seen so many threads asking people to vote what they take Bitcoin as. These include currency, investment, payment and tipping etc. Now, if you can only choose between currency and investment.. What do you take Bitcoin as?
I take Bitcoin as a form of currency and investment. However, currency come first. I have never invested my money into Bitcoin. I only invested my time into Bitcoin.
I went to exchange and try to sell them at high price. Upon receiving the money from selling, I try to buy them again at lower price. This way, I can 1.2x or 1.4x my Bitcoin. And I will spend them online. I will never exchange them into USD or whatsoever currency and than withdraw them - unless I'm forced to.
What about you? Currency or investment?
