It's still a currency, but right now the price was changing really fast. I think better to sell right now your coins and wait for any dumps, if you read the last news we had a lot of issues with lost bitcoins 3 billion bitcoins been wiped. Indeed, we know that anything can happend in this 2 weeks better to buy some fiat money and save them for next invest
I dont think that it was treated still as a currency, when is the last time you paid for something using bitcoin? It is treated now as an asset especially to third worlds that do not have that much information bout the digital currrencies. In my country there are no bitcoin ATMs and there are only few stores that accept bitcoin, which is really dissapointing. So what will you do with your bitcoin when you can't use it to buy something, you save them, and the very good way to earn is to wait for a good price and sell it or convert to real money. It is an asset.

Yup, I exclusively hold bitcoins as a store of value and I'm not ever going to sell them. Once I retire I'll use them as my spending money. If they're worth nothing then I guess I'll just buy a nice rocking chair and watch the days pass by until I croak. Either way is good for me.

An article from The Atlantic magazine - from 2013, way back in 2013 - declaring that bitcoin is not a currency, but "the ultimate tech stock"!
The four years since the article was written has proven that bitcoin is akin to an Amazon or Facebook (stock, not company), and much less "Pets.com". That's a good thing.
I have to agree with them. Every week that passes without a new company in any local metropolitan area deciding to accept bitcoin as currency is a two weeks further away from bitcoin actually being adopted, mainstream, as a currency.
Bitcoin is an investment. A stock or an asset class/commodity can be debated, although it doesn't much matter. Bitcoin is a store of value not a medium of exchange.
What do you think?
Actually, you already answered your own question dude, it is true the bitcoin is a store of value. But for me I would rather go to hold some bitcoin for the future preparation due to the volatility is very aggressive when it comes the value is movable sometimes too.

if this is not a mat bitcoin money but bitcoit is a stock company, as the stock has a high price and the price can go down as well. most of the price or value increased by adoption and demands.

Those people that are thinking bitcoin isn't a currency now are those people that wants to make their coins pumped and used by bitcoin users. They are spreading lies throughout the forum just like what happened with bitcoins price. It's dropping because of their ambitious goal to make in line with bitcoin which is a crazy thing.
I have always considered bitcoin an asset not a currency.
I think this is a truth that bitcoin is not a currency , because the name of the bitcoin to bitcoin digital currency is made by the users of bitcoin .
The reality behind the bitcoin is , it is just a written data , and it is about impossible to erase without the permission of the owner of bitcoin network .
And here all the bitcoiners have the trust with bitcoin that bitcoin can be use as payment and has value and has limit like the fiat money .
Allover this is just the trust system between the bitcoin to each other for bitcoin value .
I guess as long as it can be used as payment I will call it a currency which is (virtual currency). Moreover, if bitcoin is not a currency it shouldn't be en-cash or convert it into a real currency of each nation.

Bitcoin is not as good as it used to anymore. Since the number of the people using Bitcoin increases, the blockchain and miners can not handle and make all transaction confirmed in 24 hours and it is very suck. You know, sending $1000000 oversea in only 2-3 days is a great thing but buying a cup of coffee for 2-3 days is a disaster
Progress of adoption is not a problem, not yet anyway. We estimate that legitimate uses of the blockchain storage space to be approximately 3/4 of 1 MB.All other data is either spam or useless data. W can still have properly confirmed transaction with proper and hefty fee.
SegWit and Lightning Network activation (hopefully) will solve that problem in the future completely.

The fact that it shows glimpses of a commodity or stock doesn't make it less of a currency. It's just that Bitcoin is more than a currency but not less of a currency. It has more features other fiats don't plus it can do more and the blockchain technology behind it makes payment processing easier world wide.

The article is not technically incorrect and we can certainly say bitcoin as a tech stock which gives us a very good investment opportunity even in the global economic slowdown. Bitcoin is first of its kind currency which can be generated from a computer program. So bitcoin doesn't have any inherited value. The value it has, it is based on public trust only.
Since people are investing heavily in bitcoin, it is getting so much attention and the market cap is increasing like rocket keeping the price also higher than any other currency. So I personally prefer to invest in bitcoin than to spend it for silly reasons. So it can be taken as an investment instead of currency.
I like to ask if any currency had ever been invested into before, It seems not to be property of a known currency. I stand to be corrected.Since people are investing heavily in bitcoin, it is getting so much attention and the market cap is increasing like rocket keeping the price also higher than any other currency.

In order to invest in real estate you need to accumulate a lot of money. This is a serious investment.
In bitcoin it is easier to invest, because you can buy only a small part of this coin
