Actualy bitcoin is a currency but because of the supply and demand the price goes up and down so also we say that bitcoin also is a form of asset because when you are holding your bitcoin and dont sell it for a long time you can also earn it.
,if you are positive and trust to bitcoin's capability then you can earn in a long run, but as you have said bitcoin's main purpose is to be used as a currency and much more purpose than being an asset, but because of the reason you have stated above it is also considered as an asset. Although this has been discussed several times in this forum, some people are still confused to what bitcoin really is and its purpose and usage.

Bitcoin both is an asset and a currency. Bitcoin over time has passed through alot of hurdles as a currency and has become a currency that almost threatens some country's fiat currency. As a matter of fact, because of its volatility, it has become an asset. It has come to a point where what you have as a parent can be transferrable even to children. The currency increases and decreases though. Its always advisable to buy the currncy when the market is depeened so as to make more money when the market rises.

I myself call bitcoin an asset because bitcoin can be stored and has a high price, bitcoin can be equated with gold because equally good for investment but different from gold, bitcoin has no security like gold and price movement up and down quite drastically.
Bitcoin’s very volatile prices have reignited the debate about its usefulness as a currency or as an asset. In some ways, Bitcoin suits the definition of currency quite adequately but if the volatility is less. It allows for the creation of secure and transparent transactions. Thus, can be used as a secondary currency in future. Some of the experts have huge concerns over its volatility. But, sooner or later the prices may remain less volatile as of today.

Will both of this in bitcoin called a currency and also we called an asset.we called it currency because its use in everykind of activities in exchange currency like a payments transaction in billing or use it as an alternate of fiat in buying our personal needs,while in other words we called it also an asset because it is like an investment or our own personal wealth that maybe can we inherit to our siblings.
Well for me i consider bitcoin more as an asset,and gives me profit mostly not unless when price is dropping..though i use it also as currency if sometimes need an emergency payments for billings.so i consider it both and i know most of us does

Bitcoin is just an asset before when it as very cheap and no one expected that this coins value will bloom in the next few years and it become a currency because everyone is using it to buy products online just like credit cards.
More likely it is asset, as it has not all features of currency.
"Money is a commodity, and a commodity is not necessarily a currency." The traditional definition of money is "general equivalent". In other words, people agree that this thing can be used as a measure of the price of other goods, and that's the currency.
Bitcoin is a currency and an asset.
Bitcoin is a currency and an asset.
Right now I view bitcoin as an asset. It's not really spendable where I live currently so it's hard to use it as a currency. My girlfriend and I pay each other back using bitcoin though. I think in the future either bitcoin or another faster/lower fee altcoin will be used as currency.
My opinion both is true but bitcoin is more popular in world it a currency since 2007,and the price continously increase it can called asset too
For me bitcoin is more like an asset. Because currency is defined as a money system that is commonly used in a nation or country. Since there is no specific country that uses bitcoin as currency it is more likely as asset. Its an asset because its value fluctuate more often compared to its last year's equivalent is much higher now. Its value continuously growing makes it very much profitable for investors..

For me bitcoin as an asset because in my country bitcoin is unlegalize so i can not buy anything with bitcoin. also in my country bitcoin should not be used as a means of payment because the means of payment is valid only the currency of our country ie rupiah. and that is set in the law
To me its both. An asset which i hold and a currency to buy things. Especially when LN becomes new standard of paying.
Bitcoin is a currency but if converted to cash it will now turns to asset that can be owned or controlled to produce value.
When you hold your Bitcoin for a long time, it will be you asset. Long-term investment is a wise decision for Bitcoin holders as they assets grow old in there wallet its value increases for how long you keep them. Since Bitcoin is volatile you will never predict what is the price tomorrow or later on.
It depend on your point of view, yes it is a currency a digital currency to be appropriate but it can be also your asset. It is a currency since it can be trade to other currencies, like usd, php, other altcoins and vice versa. And we all know that holding a Bitcoin is effective way or profiting when it comes to a long term investment. Like all assets, the price increase and its value also increase as the time goes by that why Bitcoin can be a asset.
Many people see it in many ways. Online currency, asset I think it's both. Because we both get it and use it and do it.
Some views shifted. Bitcoin can be used as a means of payment, but is now ineffective because the fees are too high and the confirmation time is long enough. I do not think anyone will be willing to use the bitcoin just to buy food. So bitcoin is more effective for commodities and high-priced assets. It is suitable for investment, but must be prepared with all the risks.
