Now bitcoin is more profitable to use it as an investment, at least because there are very few opportunities to spend it. And as an investment it will bring good benefits, why not take advantage of it.
Why do we need to stop calling it as an investment? Do it have effect? Honestly speaking we cant stop people why? Because everyone has its own decision. And it depends on how they see bitcoin, either as a currency or an investment. But whatever you call it as long as it help me financially I wont stop using it.

Bitcoin now is more on investment now because of good profit we can earn if it will be properly manage, the members now of the bitcoin forum if it will have a capital then they will invest to bitcoin, because joining bounty campaign is very hard ,cause you will accomplish the needed required posts to earn stakes and the worst you will not be payed by your bounty campaign ,so your effort are waste.
It's hard to stay away from calling it an investment because of this and also because of it
from a positive long-term view so that there is Hoarding, Trading and smaller quantities.

Its an very high risk investment
We have different opinion on your topic question, maybe perceived Bitcoin as an investment, we have individual right for own perception about Bitcoin, for as long as we are not in any way forcing such issues to others, then we are free to assumed that, what ever thinking of everyone here in this forum should be respected.
Every currency can be investment, even cryptocurrency, there is nothing wrong with that. Its definetely not something what hurts crypto.
This is what led upto the Dec. crash. Speculators only wanting to make money thought it was the best investment. They didnt even know the underlying fundamentals of bitcoin. so sad
Yes, I agree with you in part, but it turned out at the moment that basically we can use bitcoin as an investment, and not as a currency. Our society is not yet so technically perfect.
True there is some phase of it that some people are not yet been seen the opportunity of this currency to be an invesment cause there is some failure of this currency so we should be more look of it in a good side that how profitable it is.
No! As long as bitcoin function well then we will not to try to call it not investment.
We should first consider why bitcoin was invented. Satoshi designed bitcoin as a digital money for personal bank. However, as people became aware of the cryptocurrency and started buying it, the value started increasing. This increase in value made it become profitable for those who purchased it earlier, and I guess this is where the issue of bitcoin as investment started gaining interest. The fact that fiat currencies can be traded as Forex, cryptocurrency will not be an exception.
Th primary aim is to use it as a means of exchange, however, with gain in value it becomes a form of investment for those that have it initially when it was cheap.

Bitcion isn't a speculation property yet rather a distressing diversion that keep going long it could be a fruitful or losing a portion of your stuff however an accomplishment of being smarter market analyst.
I don't think it is possible to stop calling bitcoin investment bcos since there is always return on investment and who ever put money on bitcoin they always make profit when exchange it to fiat as such it is an investment.
The fact that BTC has become a way to invest is not a problem of BTC. But nevertheless it is certainly an investment option. People can never use Bitcoin as a method of payment, but invest a lot of money in it.
You are right, bitcoin was created as a digital currency but people use it as an investment. I don't think it's people's fault. If something is giving amazing returns, people are going to hold that and treat as asset instead of currency. We can blame this on bitcoin's volatility not on people.
Buying bitcoin is an investment ...this is because, butcoin as a virtual currency does not function as a medium of exchange because its not generally accepted.
So its just a store of value.
An asset like our local fiats.
So its an investment.

Today in this world no one accepts bitcoin as currency...They are taking bitcoin as investment only...Even the people who are accepting bitcoins,means the online commercial sites...They are also taking for trading only....So from one sense thats also an investment...And the newcomers are using money for bitcoins in risk,...they are taking it as share market...So they are calling it Investment
until whenever I will call bitcoin as an investment, because the result of bitcoin is very much, I am very happy to work in bitcoin, I want to successfully work in bitcoin, I will invest in bitcoin.
Bitcoin can never be disregarded as an investment because the volatility of Bitcoin has an intrinsic feature which makes its holders enjoy a profit margin whenever the price rises up. As such, people have developed the interest to invest in it, thus, buy more and hold for a certain period of time till the price reaches a certain good level, and sell for profit.
