I think to make bitcoin a currency which will be regulated in the world,first we have to make it a investment market because then people become familiar to this new thing and they accept it without having any fear.For introducing every new thing in the market some steps have been taken so that the new product can be familiar to the society and to make bitcoin a digital currency which can be regulate without the control of any countries government the step of making it an investment market was very good and now we just have to wait that the price of bitcoin get stable so that it can become a world currency.

For me BTC is still an investment. It is like gold. Of course BTC has great perspectives and huge future but there a lot of questions asked by the states' governments. The problem of regulation is so important today

Though it is good that we do not call bitcoin an investment.  But it will only be possible if people use it as currency only.  But I see greed of the people will not let it remain simply currency only.  I see several threads where posters asking question when the bitcoin will cross $xyz amount. 

So it is basically the greed which converted this beautiful currency to investment.  Had it been currency  only I am sure there would have been more number of actual users of Bitcoin because then it would not have been so costly.

But I think now it is not possible that it will just be treated as currency.  No one can be able to stop it becoming investment.

yes  i know, but as long as bitcoin is valuable people will call it investment, because bitcoin has a value that can increase/decrease at any time.
in long term the value of bitcoin will increase.
I think investing and gambling have little in common, they are just putting money and hoping to increase from the previous amount.
but the difference is that people who gamble will never get rich, but people who invest can become rich, even though sometimes their investment loses.

For me, bitcoin is still an investment, not a money! ( To me)
Bitcoins to become currencies, Bitcoin and altcoin need to be developed and widely accepted!

Yeah right, bitcoin for me is an investments that have value and will be able to give us good profit if value of bitcoin will increase, then if we need money then we can convert it to fiat.

Bitcoin is investment now and tomorrow and forever because many investors in btc will be rich if they buy bitcoin by low price  and sell it when his price is high

Well since bitcoin has features that can very well make it good investment, you can't expect people to just ignore that opportunity. At this point in time, it's more seen to be an investment instead of anything else.

Can you stop calling Bitcoin an investment?

This damages the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin was not created to become an investment. Before Bitcoin, there were some digital currencies years back, the goal was always to be able to create a (digital) currency free from central banks and governments.
Cypherpunks and other anarcho-capitalists are at the origin of this idea, perhaps 20 or 30 years ago. None were intended to make an investment to be rich quickly.
You won't find in the white paper "investing" mentioned, you won't find any post from Satoshi mentioning it

Considering Bitcoin as an investment, this is the reason why we have more and more regulations, G20 summits and others craps, KYC, etc...
The word "Crypto-assets" didn't exist before, why did they create it? Because you even consider it an investment, then why shouldn't they?
Bitcoin could be a lot more accepted and used by now. Why should a merchant agree to be paid in Bitcoin? He wants money, not a piece of your investment.

You're not even investing, you are just gambling with money.
Go to the altcoins board, you will surely find plenty of ICOs where you can say you invested in. I have something for you, ICOs used to raise money are no different than "Crowdfunding". If you want to invest then there are a lot of Crowdfunding websites where you can invest in real startups with fewer risks, (you won't find any project using photos from Pixabay...)

Why don't we see cryptographers anymore? Guess the reasons
It's the fact that many people come to bitcoin and cryptocurrency because they want to invest and earn some profit from it. It is very fast to earn money but risky.

If Bitcoin wasn't considered an investment its more people could use it and its value could be less volatile. Bitcoin is the best possible investment that's why we call bitcoin an investment, bitcoin has a big part when we investing without bitcoin we can't invest. Bitcoin and invest are connected to each other.

it feels hard to let go of btc and investment, after all it has become one even though it deviates from the original goal satoshi made btc, but that is not wrong like the dollar, even the dollar is a currency but that is used as an invaders, the importance of btc is not restricted by regulation banking and government, besides btc is still a digital currency that is efficient and has many advantages and I am sure it is enough to meet the initial objectives of the btc itself

Bitcoin was not an investment when it started years ago. It was made as a currency and was promoted as the same. It was accepted as a currency as well. However, when its demand increased exponentially, the price went so high that people eventually realized that more than using the coin as a currency, it was better to store it because there would be a huge wealth waiting for them by doing so. And then Bitcoin slowly became a storage of asset rather than a currency. And I think we cannot blame them for reacting so.

You can go to the white paper and you can read there that bitcoin was meant to be make money. I don't see any bad things that will happen if people call bitcoin as an investment though, bitcoin is both a cryptocurrency and a an investment.

It's not true, you never bothered to read the white paper for sure. Show me a single sentence in the WP where Satoshi said he created Bitcoin to make money online. Stop to spread wrong information about it.

I think no one can do that because since the beginning Bitcoin was created as currency and become alternative investments to earn more fiat and that is the reason of why we are here because we joint this currency so that we could earn too.The decentralized nature of this currency means that there is no transfer commission, which can play a significant role for some investors in transactions with impressive amounts. Bitcoin is also limited in its quantity, but even after the release of all bitcoins, their value will not fall.

Hello!? Do you have used Bitcoin once in your life. You need to pay a transaction fee otherwise you can't send anything. Hello!? You there...?

Today, the bitcoin rate is constantly falling or rising in price. Bitcoin is an investment - which will become expensive in a few years. But when all people will use payment with the help of bitcoin, and when the price is leveled and there is no sharp jump - then you can no longer invest in bitcoin, but just use it!
