In my opinion you can see Bitcoin as an investment because you can make more money with it. Most people see it as an investment that is why they are holding on to there Bitcoins for the future. But you can see Bitcoin also as a currency.

Investment is a term that's used pretty loosely though.

That was what I thought when I first saw this thread's title.

Bitcoin, metals, real estate, fine art, musical instruments, ownership of businesses (including shares) and antiques are all investments.

So are friendships, children, education, experience and business contacts. Not all investments are material things.


Yep it pretty much comes down to a person's preferred definition.

I think it's inherent in all human action that we are acting to further our own self interests. Any action I perform is expending my own valuable and finite time and so every action followed from my own economic calculations. That's also why the economy is such a thing of beauty. So many individuals all making millions of calculations of how best to direct their personal resources. Now I sounds like Mises or Rothbard Smiley



This definition is pretty broad and is how most would use the term in the financial realm.

noun

1. the investing of money or capital in order to gain profitable returns, as interest, income, or appreciation in value.

I think your right, it's a currency. But to complicate things one could invest in currencies.

I cant see this since this is a debate between fiat vs bitcoin.

I mean the only reason we see value for a price on bitcoin is due to fiat.. so yeah..
Not me? I value $100 in BTC as more valuable than $100 in dollars. I can do more with BTC, I can shop across the world, it is more secure, it's faster, it's cheaper; it's worth more.

same thing and...the only reason why i'm holding, is because i don't accept that bitcoin is valued only 400, until it's not evaluated 10k, i would not use it massively(btw i say used it not dump it for fiat...)

this is exactly the same way i am feeling about bitcoin

although i don't think the bitcoin price can ever reach $10K but i say $400-$500 is not bitcoin real value either.
so i am also waiting for the day that bitcoin reaches a high price and is also adopted more, then i will start spending.

Bitcoin is not investment but you can see more talks about price increasing and earnings on exchanges.
But i don't know why we can't see 100$ again or even less?


In general yes it's not an investment but taking only this crypto as normal currency will not give you the supposedly profit you will get by doing trades so in my part I considered this as an investment.

Bitcoin is sort of investment with a dream that its price would increase soon. Its price could not get less because of the trust and stability it has earned over this short period of time. If  a large number of people start selling their bitcoins at the same time then it would prove to be an unstable situation and would affect its price.

Why sell for 100$ when people pay 415$?

Why couldn't bitcoin be investment?
You can invest in euros or dollars too if you want so I don't see why you couldn't invest in bitcoin too...

Bitcoin is what people see it is. So different people see it as different things. It's freedom for some, investment for other. Bitcoin actually is what your mind makes of it.

Yeah and play with it in short term do no keep it for long term as no one is sure about the future, its a just a good product to make a quick money.


Bitcoin is good for quick bucks but in long term investment its volatility is so high that why its hard to invest in it for a long run.

bitcoin is not meant to be and investment but it is an investment at the moment.

and that is only because of the volatile nature of it and there is nothing we can do right now except using it like that.

Well maybe its not a investment but on this time many people consider it as a investment because you can make a lot of profit with it, if you invest in it these days right ?
I call my bitcoins a currency that I use for payments but I must say also for a investment because its still profitable and its like stockings in my eyes, so I can see why people are saying this.

I think it would be best to call it a commodity. And when it is used as money, it's commodity money. Like gold.

Bitcoin isn't tied to any name people throw at it. Bitcoin is multi functional. That's why more and more people prefer Bitcoin over any kind of fiat currency. It's pure freedom.

well, bitcoin was created first as a currency but since the market has been small and the price swings around all the time, it makes it a good place for trading it and making money (fiat) by doing that.

also don't forget even USD, EUR and the rest of the currencies are being traded too just like bitcoin is being traded.

Bitcoin will be the future payment method and that can be so good, but you can also get some profit with it with Bitcoin and that can be very nice if you wait long enough for a price rise.
We all see Bitcoin as money because it has a value and that is good, but it must be more used and acceptable later.

You may have a point but some have different opinion since they mainly invest in it to profit in the long run, so in their case, it's more of an investment and to others is more of a alternation money to the normal traditional options out there.
