Of course, just like real currency, it is also acting like a real money in this world and you can use it as much as you wanted to. It is YOUR OWN money. And by means of your money, you're the user of it.
Bitcoin can be considered as an asset or a digital currency depending on how the user/owner make good use of it. As a digital currency, you can easily buy whatever you want to buy with bitcoin at accepted stores or various business transaction.

As of the moment, Bitcoin is not yet fully regulated in most of the countries in the world that is why every one can avail and use it without restriction. As a booming digital market industry many economist are already eyeing on this. Probably, in the near future restrictions will be set by the government.
The recent network is full of currency or asset discussion, and I think this is not the most important thing at this stage. Perhaps it is our primary task to make bitcoin more valuable, and we should put more energy into our community construction.
But rightw now, the condition is not same anymore. too much FUD from them that try to divide the community. making a bad news and fake TA that would bring a big mass panic which ofc this impact would back to them itself
Everyone of us can use bitcoin,it has many uses that can we use on it,payment method the most important thing we need ,no hassel to pay in any remittances,transferring money and it can be our source of income or part time job.
Bitcoin can be an asset to you or something else that you may consider bwcause Bitcoin always depend on those people who are working on it. Either it is their way on how to live or how they work on it to become valuable. We are living mostly in a democratic country in where its up to us on how to handle things.
So you guys are OK with Bitcoin advantages, preach BTC and consider it your investment but disagree with investment taxes, regulations, etc. You're funny. How comes? You get what you paid for, don't you know the adage saying "who sows wind reaps storm"
There's an ongoing debate in and outside of Bitcoin community regarding the economic nature of Bitcoin: is it a currency or an asset, a store of value, settlement layer and so on. The situation with ETF's also sparked some debates, as some argue that ETF's are bad and Bitcoin should stick to its cypherpunk roots and ignore the mainstream.
I think all sides kinda miss the point of Bitcoin. Bitcoin was created so people can send coins directly to others, without any mandatory middleman. Therefore, every use case is as legit as any other use case, it doesn't violate the freedom of any other user of the network. It doesn't even matter if Satoshi wanted Bitcoin to be a decentralized currency that will kill banks, because one of the principles of Bitcoin is censorship resistance, so if some people want to use centralized services, want regulated environments, speculation and so on, it's their right. All those things have no effect on people who want to use Bitcoin as an alternative currency.
So, I think there is no single answer to whether Bitcoin is an asset or a currency, everyone decides for themselves, because freedom is the ultimate point of Bitcoin.
in my opinion, bitcoin is better as an asset, because if it is considered a currency, the price is not fixed one day makes people think it's a price game, but if bitcoin is an asset just like gold, because the price changes, and the excess of bitcoin is a transaction fast I think all sides kinda miss the point of Bitcoin.

Yes bitcoin is free to use by anyone as long they know how it works and its process because to those who don't have knowledge it is not easy to use it. They can use it as mode of payments, money transfer, investment, extra income and other thing. Its up to us how we use it.
Of course, for calculation, bitcoin would be ideal. Where to put it, it will already depend on the decision of the owner of the crypto currency.

The value of bitcoin as an asset is in the fact that it can be used as a currency. Bitcoin is taking its first steps in the world, that's why it's used mainly for investing. But in the near future it will become a normal means of payment. That's why we're here. We don't need bitcoin as an asset only, do we?
Yes ofcourse everyone is free to use Bitcoin as they want; trade, hodl, spend etc. That means bitcoin was the answer and we got it now thankfully.. Unfortunately you can use Bitcoin in bad ways too :/ I wish all the scammer goes away and we live cryptos cleanly..
Oh well, it means that there's always two sides on a coin. Obviously, we can do whatever we want with our coins, however, we should be intelligent enough on how we are going to spend it. Are we going to used it for gambling or would rather hold on it for a long time? And as far as scammers, I'm sorry but they won't simply go away, I don't know how to say it, but it looks like crypto has becoming the bread and butter and becoming the milking ground for scammers.
Everyone can use bitcoin on what want. They can use Bitcoin for what they wish to: paying for purchases, buying a car or a motorbike if they're going to, only the payee accepts your form of payment given. I saw a video about using Bitcoin to live for a day, and they did not have too much trouble so you can use Bitcoin freely.

It's free economy , no one can force anybody to do something specific. Yes, it is true that bitcoin supposed to be a currency but due to high demand it became a asset. It is a investment tool as like gold.
bitcoin will be more worth when it use case in mainstream and this is going to happen soon as now almost a big community of world know about it and now big projects are coming forward to mainstream it like PundiX to use it in daily life which will make its use more and more and hence we will see more exposure and more money flowing in.
Of course yet. Everyone is free to use bitcoin as they want and not under any control. In my country, bitcoin has not officially been accepted to pay tuition in institution but I believe bitcoin will surely get there because now people are knowing the essence of it.
It can be true indeed but we are free only in that boundaries that world is allowing us to, so I'm not free to go to the store and buy bread buy my Bitcoin, until they will go and make it happen.
If we want BTC to be of values whether as a store of value, asset or currency, it can't ignore the mainstream of standard organizations such as ETF, this is just the fact. Decentralization is not to the extent of approval. If actually we want masses recognizing BTC.
I agree with you, bitcoin is for everyone whether they used it as a payment system to buy things & products or as an asset and an investment where they can earn huge profits from it. In my country, it is not yet widely accepted to stores and other institutions, i just treated as an investment for my brighter future.

right, whole ETF thing is funny but understandable. People know it can significantly increase the bitcoin price in short term, while I don't believe it will really matter in a long run
