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?


Bitcoin is money and investment at the same time, because bitcoin values today more and it can value tomorrow higher so something that has a different value through the time i consider that as an investment asset so bitcoin is.

Bitcoin is of course an investment as there are many currencies which can take care of us on daily basis, but this investment is something different from others.

If a person put some money in bitcoin and the goal is to make money, that is an obvious investment. But you know bitcoin was not made just to make money but rather the technology behind it including anonymity, less hassle transaction and ability to touch far away place in just one click that the usual money tranfers doesn't have.

Bitcoin is an investment as it increases in value. The bitcoin I bought in early 2013 has increased in some value.

well, it IS an investment but also it IS a currency too. it doesn't need to be only one of them. although i would like the price to be stable no matter what it is so it becomes more of a currency than a high profit investment.

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 an investment because you spend money in it and you are hoping that the value will be higher after that so you can earn a lot of money with it and that call you profit.
And that is also called an investment that you are making.
Bitcoins can be categorized as a currency now than as an investment because bitcoin is getting adopted into many platforms and into wider market (e.g. Steam, debit cards, stores, etc). However with mining still doable (although not as good as before), and with the value rising and/or falling, bitcoins can still be considered as an investment.
The exchange rate of different currencies keep rising and falling too. Bitcoin can be considered as both.

Does it really matter?  Some people see BTC as currency, some see it as an investment or both. It's all just a matter of opinion.
yes you right and in my view not really important if bitcoin it's investment or currency because everyone has their views and this discussion will never run out because of these factors.

If we see 100$ ups and down even within weeks and month than bitcoin will not be well priced as of now. We have to see natural price movement according to simple rule of any asset like supply decrease demand increase than price should also increase. Which you can see right now happening before block halving.

Goddamn right.

You should only buy bitcoin when you make a purchase. Holding bitcoins is still too risky.

Holding and waiting is same with gambling.
Holding bitcoins isn't same like gambling. When you gamble the risk is much higher than holding bitcoins.

Its sort of a yes and no depending on the obvious price situation.

On 1 hand you have the bullish forever side, where as long people hold bitcoin the price flux remains the same. And the other is in the case of the scenario of similar to a pump and dump, whatever you paid for bitcoin. Which is the intial investment loss, so anything below the purchase cost would be a gamble.

What youre gambling on is that the scenario of those odds are not likely to happen.

Yeah gambling differs from gambling in terms of the risk involved. At the same time considering bitcoin as an investment or some other form of source depends upon the user.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Some people prefer it to be compared with gold.

I would say that Bitcoin is money, but it isn't accepted enough to be easily used as a currency.
It is probably used more as an investment, but then the US dollar is used as an investment in lots of 3rd world countries, so that doesn't mean that it can't be a currency and/or money too.

I see it much more like Gold at the moment though.  It is money, but places don't accept it as currency, so you have to go through steps to trade it for currency before spending it.  That makes it harder to use, so people treat it like an investment.

I must disagree. Bitcoin is essentially an investment.

Of course it's a currency, but many currencies can be invested in but also have a form of value.

As an example, take gold. You can invest in it and earn significant profit when the price rises. Of course, you could lose as well. That goes for any investment, a profit is never guaranteed. You can also trade gold and it was once a means of currency, before fiat money came into play.

Same with Bitcoin. Think of it like gold. You can buy shares of it but many people still accept it as a means of payment. It doesn't matter if the price has been stable or volatile, that is up to the supply and demand of said commodity.

Point is, you can make an investment in virtually anything. Heck, I could make an "investment" in my future and learn Spanish to be able to speak it. In the world of economics, you can invest in any commodity or currency. Especially when it comes to FOREX trading, which is the core of what we're talking about.

Anything that requires effort, money or time to be put into it of some kind is an investment; and education is an investment (like you said), exercise is an investment, a bitcointalk.org account is an investment. Some investments are far more valuable than others.

First of all, bitcoin cannot be an 'investment' but an 'investment instrument.' Secondly, that bitcoin is not designed to be an investment instrument, or that bitcoin is in essence not an investment instrument does not preclude its being an investment instrument. Because, being an investment instrument is not an inherent property of a thing, but is about the way in which people make use of a thing. Thus, if there are speculators who think they are investing in bitcoin, then in that particular use, bitcoin becomes an investment instrument. Money, stocks, and bonds are also the same. If you use bitcoin to buy something, then in that particular use, bitcoin is not an investment instrument. Clear as it is.

Yes I kind of agree. Usually an investment is something that earns you a cash flow, for example real estate. Bitcoin could be considered a currency and it could also be considered a speculative asset at the moment. Long term it's also more a store of a value. Investment is a term that's used pretty loosely though.

It was not intended to be an investment, but a currency. But oil was not supposed to ve an investment, but to act as fuel. Houses were not supposed to be investments, but to act as homes... etc.
But it absolutely sucks as a currency!  Nobody wants to spend their bitcoin except the hardcore users who insist it's the revolutionary world currency.  But it doesn't seem like it's turning out that way, does it?  And what of all these shitcoins--are they currency as well?  I would say hell no.  They're digital gold.  A way to store and transfer value.

So I say bitcoin is definitely an investment.  At least more so than a currency.

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?

I agree with you that bitcoin was not created to be an investment. but earning from exchanges is normal for any currency. and you can not see $100 again because simply, no one wants to sell his bitcoin for this low price now

I dont agree with you that $100 price wont come , last when bitcoin came to $1000+ after that even it touched below $100 and then it got ups and down, so no price is nothing until Bitcoin is in trading, and Bitcoin was not created for investment but the way all are using the technology and now it is become more part of most of thems life earnings and savings also. So now bitcoin can be said as investment but it is like Mutual Fund which you are investing as investment but their is no confirmation that you will earn this much on this much time.

bitcoin can be whatever you want. for me bitcoin is a currency, store of wealth, and an investment tool. that's what my bitcoin usage looks like. at this moment there is way too much demand, so prices of $100 and even lower will possibly never happen again, unless there is very bad news such as a huge exchange that lost all its coins due to a hack or theft from inside the exchange.

I think your right, it's a currency. But to complicate things one could invest in currencies.
currencies can be investments as gold is a kind of currency too and it is considered to be an investment

to be honest bitcoin is one of the best investment options that you can get right now thus it can make you a lot of money

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..

You are right it is not. It got super stable for some time now.
But you know what? its not a bad thing at all. That stability is bitcoins advantage.
It may and will draw more attention and trust for the cryptos in general.
May be after halving some big fluctuations will happen?
Nevertheless for investments purpose there are other alts like eth etc...
