Bitcoin still will not considered as failed considering the fact that it is also at the early stage of conquering the world. Even though its main purpose now is to be an investment and not a currency, it is still helpful to the people and that is a good point. Some countries promote bitcoin now, and its a good start. Wait for it.

If bitcoin will continue to lead among other cryptocurrency, then it will always be an investment tool. As a means of payment, people will use less liquid cryptocurrencies.

I disagree with this,bitcoin can never fail

I partially agree with him and also with you. Bitcoin might not have failed as an idea or whatever it is, but it might be failing as a currency if in the next 2-3 years, this volatility is not stopping. it can't be that a 2k usd transfer is suddenly only 1900 usd worth. ya, this from sending a TX until receiving a TX.

I am positive, but as of now, its failing AS A CURRENCY.

Bitcoin is currently failing as a currency chiefly because it is very volatile.A unique feature of a good currency is its stability (at least over a short period of time).Bitcoin will perform better in future with greater adoption.The price will relatively be more stable,less market manipulation plus general acceptability

It is unlikely that bitcoin will collapse in the foreseeable future. The upcoming hardcore can well pat his nerves, but absolutely surely does not put a cross on the first and most popular currency. The most negative scenario is after the appearance of B2X, when there may be a rollback of bitcoins, but most likely, after a few weeks, bitcoin will go to storm new highs

I do not agree with your point. bitcoin is growing. Many people know bitcoin, some countries have accepted bitcoin. bitcoin has many benefits. I think bitcoin will become the currency of the world.

In my opinion, Bitcoin in the future will become a significant currency for us, and not just a means of investment. Undecided

As we know that Bitcoin is best investment this technological inventions Bitcoin will be driven into the mainstream by economies that are thriving. And for me its not been truly proven that Bitcoin failed as a currency.

Bitcoin was supposed to be used as a currency, not only a form of investment. However, it's been more successful as a form of investment, a "speculative asset".

Do you guys think that this can change in the long term ?

with the advancement of the times and technology I think maybe bitcoin could be a currency recognized by the whole world and that investors hope in investing with bitcoin

I agree. Eventually this can happen as the world will be more open for new innovation. Bitcoin had become as an asset because of its continues increasing value because before only few just accepted bitcoin as payment but I'm pretty sure sooner it will. And if that will happen Satoshi Nakamoto will be happy to see where bitcoin bounded. And I think after all there's nothing wrong if bitcoin became an speculative asset.

Bitcoin is a digital currency where many people especially those rich in Bitcoin people use it to buy expensive cars, properties and even as a gift for a wedding. Despite it's being decentralized, the volume of Bitcoin users increases in number. The popularity of its currency has reached the thoughts of many and it's starting to get more investors among businesses and other industries. So I can say that Bitcoin is now a currency, just decentralized, and so far, unregulated.

I don't think bitcoin is failed in a form of currency, thinking is just a kind of FUD. In todays generation many stablishments have already accepting bitcoin as a mode of payments through services and including schools institutions like tuition fee and etc. So this means bitcoin is a currency.

My take on this is, I don't believe that Bitcoin failed on being a currency because there are still some people using it as currency regardless of its volatility. It may not be as successful as it is being utilized as an asset but that doesn't mean it failed on that area. I, myself, don't use it as a currency but there are still others who do, more and more establishments are accepting Bitcoin as payment already, i think that will continue still, at least from where I came from.

I don't think so. Bitcoin is not stable and is used for online transactions. Bitcoin should first become more stable to be used as currency

More recently, bitcoin is a speculative asset.
However, in the future, I believe bitcoin will be a currency, because when the throughput of bitcoin increases, it is completely possible.

I think not, because bitcoin goes along with evolution and development. of course the current bitcoin is getting away from its core as a currency. but bitcoin has evolved to be the most important part in the crypto industry that makes it the most valuable and phenomenally valuable asset

This is such an example of FUD but for all inclusive purposes I'll comment.
There are plenty of merchants that currently accept BTC, and plenty more are starting to accept it.
You can call it an "asset" if you'd like, but the fact remains it still holds value and can still be used to acquire goods and services, just like fiat can.
Well yeah, the fact that bitcoin be trade to goods or services are considered most likely a fiat currency will not fully distinguish the bitcoin as a currency , it is more on a asset since its price and value will depend on the market like gold, the value of gold will gets cheap if there are more supply than the demand of gold, same as the bitcoin since it has a high volatility it can't be considered as a currency but a investment.

bitcoin is never been failed because it already in a form of  currency but in digital type and is now use by many people world wide in payment transactions.

Yes, nowadays bitcoin is more of an investment, but still bitcoin is a currency digital one, eventhgouh not many parties except bitcoin as a payment but i think the more people use and secure it as an investment the more it has change to be used as currency, even it is decentralized it could create a borderless economy in the real meaning not jus a free market label or something.
