I've seen the debate whether bitcoin is a hedge or not on here many times.  Investopedia describes a hedge as " A hedge is an investment to reduce the risk of adverse price movements in an asset. Normally, a hedge consists of taking an offsetting position in a related security".

A hedge doesn't mean that asset can't lose value. Take a look at Gold which no one debates as a hedge asset, it's price/value goes down all the time.  

I found this post from Business Week recently that dives in to this topic a bit I thought I'd share.
