Yes bitcoin becoming asset for most of people Because of high volatility I dint see any equity or commodity gain this much value so people are keeping bitcoin for future .sadly it's hard truth bitcoin loosing its original meaning.
But this is the fact of Bitcoin at now, we just can see the definion about cryptocurrency will change more.
Even, some investor think Bitcoin is a digital currency, I don't know the reason make them have this opinion, because in first time Satoshi has said this is cryptocurrency, not is digital currency like their mean.

I have read in the news that that like bitcoin as virtual currencies are assets and does not have the characteristics or what it takes to be a currency that could meet our modern economic needs. It was said that it does not have the fundamental attributes. What are your thoughts about it?


Bitcoin is current assets. Beacuse I can any time use bitcoin and it i can do invest any side. so bitcoin one kind assets.

Bitcoin is both the asset and the currency. you can still transact with it ,you can buy any service, trade with it and sell it. And if you keep it ,it's value grows by itself  Smiley.
That is the amazing characteristic of bitcoin which makes it more precious than the other things like gold. Gold is an outdated investment right now while bitcoin is a new tool which we can use as a money like buying from stores or malls and also an asset which we can just buy a lot of it or any amount that we want and put it on a cold storage and wait for the price to get appreciate more.

asset or currency, doesnt matter as long as it has value and people use it.
Yup, it really doesn't matter to me, as long as I know how to earn it and enjoys bitcoin right now. Bitcoin value can change someone if they are saving their bitcoin for a long time, they have a possibility to become rich and use their bitcoin for their better future, and maybe also depend on how people interpret what bitcoin really is.
As stated whether it's an asset or currency it doesn't mean big, the growth and the goodness it provides will matter. Right now one cannot get an benefit from any of the assets, property, shares or something else similar to bitcoin. This gives the users the hope of making a better living with what they get other than regular income.

Most people use bitcoin to be their investment asset, when in fact bitcoin is made by its creator named shatosi nakamoto for an alternative payment instrument in the form of digital money. But after seeing the development of bitcoin higher value, it causes bitcoin very well if used as an investment asset.

I have read in the news that that like bitcoin as virtual currencies are assets and does not have the characteristics or what it takes to be a currency that could meet our modern economic needs. It was said that it does not have the fundamental attributes. What are your thoughts about it?

Let me make it totally clear here in my reply that I am not saying that bitcoin won't be a currency for everyday usage - I am not commenting on bitcoin becoming a currency one way or another.

What I am saying is that even if bitcoin "only" becomes a major asset (or more major than it already is) - then this is still a huge, huge, huge opportunity. If bitcoin "only" becomes digital gold then it has characteristics that make it superior to gold on different levels - such as a finite cap and the fact that bitcoin will eventually be mined at a slower rate than gold is discovered and mined.

And the ability to transfer faster and cheaper than wire transfers. Even in their slower periods of transferring, bitcoin is faster and less expensive than a wire.

So between a supply that increases at a decreasing rate until a cap is hit AND the ability to transfer that more effectively, we could see bitcoin being a great asset. Even if if only stays at that level.

If it hits mainstream, day-to-day currency status, then here we go.

Bitcoin just an asset ? All right let's call it like that for a moment although it is much more than that due to a lot of uses it can have. If we call it an asset it is the most expensive asset in the whole world, 3.5x the price of actual gold.

Bitcoin is money and the most perfect kind of money.
Depends on how you actually think of it. I would say it is a form of "expensive" asset which also has a storage value. But you can't compare it with gold.
Bitcoin can also be considered as a money, well not now but maybe in the future. It's still on its infant stage, far away from being perfect.

Bitcoin is much more than asset. It very well works as a currency specially on online marketplace. If I start online business I doubt if I can take payment in any other kind of asset but in bitcoin.This qualifies bitcoin as a currency. Yeah I agree at present we can't make instant transaction with bitcoin as required in day to day life. But we would reach there too.
Well, I agree that bitcoin is much more than asset because it works as currency and you can use it in different kind of transaction like shopping on online market. In addition to that, I think bitcoin is the new currency or digital currency and its not just an asset that contain value. Lastly, I bitcoin is also a currency.

Bitcoin is much more than an asset. It is a virtual/digital currency not just an item that contains value.

For example, your car is an asset but you cannot spend your car in a store. But you can spend Bitcoin which makes it money, a currency and not only an asset. Hope this makes sense for you. Tongue

Bitcoin is not only an asset, but also a currency. IT depends though because some countries do not recognize it. But in general it is considered an asset as of 2017.

For me also the status of bitcoin as a currency is controversial. How long you wait in-store transaction? And if you need to buy item in multiple shops then your shopping may take several days. How to do small purchases at such a price for the transaction?
that's assuming the current status of bitcoin (lots of queued transactions, high fees) persists. bitcoin is a experiment above all else imo, and we're just running into a big wall at the moment. if the kinks get worked out and we go back to 10 minute, low fee confirmations, we might start seeing some widespread adoption, even in small shopping outlets.

Yes. It's really an asset but still it can also be used as a currency. Many people are starting to use it as tool for paying goods, services and other things that they buy online. More and more companies are starting to accept bitcoin so it can really  be treated as money.
If call Bitcoin is an asset, I think it like stock than asset as Gold or Real Estate, because the volatility of Bitcoin very strong and make us surprise any time. Interesting point of Bitcoin is the price fluctuations and it not reasonable if call is an asset.
a highly liquidatable one at that, which isn't easy to find. I can turn my bitcoin into fiat at a moment's notice if I wanted to; something you can't really do with gold or silver.

Bitcoin is multi-faceted,

it provides a means for people to store their "wealth" or
part of it where traditionally precious metals were used
and still are for this purpose.

I is also used as a trading item, either to other currencies
FIAT and Crypto and also to purchase and sell goods
online and in some countries in physical shops, markets,
Restaurants etc.

Bitcoin is also seen by some as a "get rich quick" tool  Grin

So yes it has many uses
