actually it does not matter because many people get rich from it, I think it is not in misuse what is wrong to make it an asset? maybe they see it as an opportunity to enlarge their assets. The goal is the same for quick and easy transaction.

that is both i believe, you can exchange it for other digital and non digital products and coins/tokens, store it to save and multiply value, it is not accepted as wide as fiat but posesses all essential properties to quilify for limited use currency and assets if you decide to invest

I believe that the initial purpose of crypto is to create a digital currency for making transactions quick and easy. However, in reality it has become an asset which everybody is buying and holding. Continuing doing like this will destroy the initial purpose of the coin?

What is your opinion?
Currently, this issue has many different views. It may be considered as a currency, but it can also be considered as an asset. In my opinion, I think the crypto is more likely to be a fortune. Crypto is valuable, even it has a very high value, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, but it has limited resources and most crypto are not under the control of any individual organization, this is an important need of the currency. However, there are now many places like restaurants, shops that allow Bitcoin payments and this makes many people understand that they are the currency to pay. There are still many uncertainties.

Crypto serves dual purposes i.e as a currency as well as an asset, as a currency it is being used in settlement of jobs and services offered online, meanwhile a lot people sees crypto as an asset due to it's appreciative features that is why people tends to buy and hodl Cryptos as a future investment.
I would love when crypto using as currency rather than as asset, as example for now Bitcoin has much purpose become an asset which people buying and hodl more. But i still don't understand why nowadays network always busy with many transaction, since fees becoming more high and people doing hold their asset.

Crypto is definitely is an currency but people are using it as an asset buy using its rapid price increase.

But crypto was found to use as an online currency with anonymous transactions so no one hack or trace our transactions.The first crypto was bitcoin the value of bitcoin when launched was less than dollar but now it is at $16K still increasing.So people think that is an asset if e have that crypto then we can earn good profit in future.
There is no doubt in this fact that the job description of digital currencies has been changed over the course of time. Initially these currencies were developed as you said to make online transactions but now people are using them as mode of investments than as mainstream method of making transactions. The ever growing market values of these coins are forcing people to treat them as investments than as currencies.

With its current status I shall say that bitcoin is an asset that is growing to be the first official digital currency that exist. Bitcoin is currently still being converted in able to be accepted. Although there are merachants whom already accepts it as payment, still it is not yet officially and widely accepted by all.
Actually in my sense the Bitcoin is becomes the best assets of the recent time. The reality is that the Bitcoin proves itself both the assets and currency at the same time. Whenever someone needs money he/she can sell the Bitcoin at any time at the best price and get currency. The on the other hand the Bitcoin is a good assets the any other product. The price of Bitcoin is increasing rapidly than any other assets. That will return the huge profit to the investor.
According to my mind it’s a currency because its prices can be high and low but other side mostly the prices of assets are remain same they increased with the passage of time but in currency its prices gone changed within hours and seconds.

Crypto is a digital currency which is mostly used for the trading and transaction in all over the word. I think with the help of crypto currency you can make an asset but with an asset you can’t make a crypto currency

Crypto is treated as asset in most of countries but there are some country where crypto is legal and use as payment system. When we use  crypto for trading then that means we use it as asset.
Crypto is just an asset but can also serve for other purposes like making transactions and the rest of them. There are Bitcoin ATMs, so it serves for a lot of things and you can even use it or the debit card to buy whatever you need online (using it direct to make a purchase has a very big limit)but I believe that the main reason why it was made is just for investment, but people wouldn’t like it much if there wasn’t a way for them to share with their peers 

What is your opinion?
It is a currency. It can't be an asset since everything is virtual and it defines digital currency. Bitcoin is under digital currency which means it uses technology for its function or transactions to work. It just happened that Bitcoin is orofitable to most of its users because its value is continuously increasing.
But if you see that you will find that it is also an asset as many of the traders are getting benefit from it by investing their money in this currency. You may not know that when people invest their money in a thing and that thing give a good profit to that investor and the trader when start trade with a thing then that thing can also be considered as an asset which bitcoin is.

It depends upon the way it is used. I think we can say it for both variants.

satoshi created bitcoin for us to have a good financial systems where banks cannot provide to us where its inflation proof its like having your own bank where you are in charge of your money its amazing that satoshi come up with this idea that it can transform our current financial system to more advance one he really wants to help the people
Bitcoin have value because they are usable as a form of money. They have the characteristics of money. With Bitcoin the value can be measured by increasing the number of users, merchants and emerging companies. As with all currencies, the value of the bitcoin comes only directly from people willing to accept them as a means of payment.
As long has bitcoin is used to make payment for the purchase of goods and services, it can be terms as a currency and since it value can grow just like gold due to it's investors hope then it can be termed as an asset as well. So to me its both.

It's neither recognized as an asset or a currency, it's something else, that's why it's called cryptocurrency

In my opinion it is an asset at the same time it is also a currency, an asset in a way you can use it for investment to secure your family's future but this one can crashed anytime yet the potential price of this coin is unlimited. thus it is also a currency because we can use this coin to buy something in online shop, use to pay monthly bills in other words you can use this coin for transaction in any merchants that accepts the same coin.

What is your opinion?
I think its both we could say its an asset because we can use it in our payment method or we can have an extra income here in bitcoin.We could say its an asset because its like a gold that cannot be depreciated we can invest it to make it more profitable,but I believe the crypto is asset because we are buying and at the same time holds for the possibility of increasing the value. But if we use the word crypto, most people, they know it is a digital currency that speeds up the transaction when it comes to money..
It was basically a currency but people find it as investment and make it an investment coin and which is also permissible here and people are making money from it and it can be both the both modes are beneficial currency mode is not that much beneficial because of small acceptance if bitcoin as payment in online outlets and sooner the currency use will be started at large scale and that will give more rise to the prices.

What is your opinion?
Yes, crypto currencies like bitcoin, monero, and others were invented as a digital currency for quick and easy use but due to their limited supply people now turned them in to digital assets. In time, perhaps people will stop doing so and everybody will get the chance to use them as they were meant be.

What is your opinion?
Yes I agree with you that the purpose for which crypto currency was created is to serve as a digital currency but at the moment most of the crypto currency are their real value and as they struggle to attain their value many take this kind of period and refer to them as an assets because of the value increase.
