Topic: Is Bitcoin actually just a Investment coin? - page 3. (Read 3222 times)

We can use it to buy a lot of things, but that doesn’t make it a real currency. It’s just like gold, you can use gold to do anything, and even use it in replacement of a real currency, but you still can’t call it a real currency, it is still called an asset. So Bitcoin is just an (a digital asset) that is mainly for investment. But since it’s designed in a way that we’re allowed to do peer-to-peer transaction with it, there is nothing bad if you use it as such.

I think it is same as general currency. There is no equally thing in this scene. Bitcoins currency and it is acting ass-urgency all over the world. It has main objective to give chances and opportunities for making its users reedy to earn from it. Yes there is one difference, bitcoin is virtual and that makes it a little different in appearance than any other currency currently working in world.

actually it's against the vision of satoshi to make bitcoin as a spending tool in this case named currency, it's main function is to pay something to replace phyiscal money in the real world, if it's just merely an investment, it'll hold the adoption of bitcoin in so many places. people should be aware that bitcoin is not only for investing but also for spending despite many issue like transaction fee.

Bitcoin is not just an investment currency but it equally serve the general purpose of currency and at the same time as an investment opportunities that yield return on investment over time period.

I think the title says it all.

After a long time of thinking, reading and also investing a bit into Bitcoin I have to say that it looks for me that the main use is actually just pure Investment. It always looks like that everyone just talks about how great the Technology is although they secretly want to get super rich with a always raising price. Of course it's used with several shopping or daily things, but that's just such a small part of it.
During that, people who don't want to take the risk to invest call it a "Bubble" and people who don't want to lose their money just make kind of stupid speculations without any arguments.

In the end (just my opinion) the price of Bitcoin is controlled by all the media (that's hyping bitcoin and talking about it everywhere) and all the really big bitcoin whales with e.g. like 10000+ coins can actually effect the market the most. Imagine what a few people with a huge amount of bitcoins could work out together to control the market and making money.

It's just weird, because it turns this, what everyone calls it, great technology in the end just to a fully commercial object to earn money. Which would be probably also the reason why it stays and raises all the time, because it's normal that everyone wants to make a big amount of money with this little effort.

Let me know what you guys think and please don't give me this non argumented one liner like in all the other threads

We can use bitcoin in many ways, bitcoin is profitable investment in long term but not only that, you can also use bitcoin to paid any bill, in my country i use bitcoin to easy pay my bill like Meralco, home credit etc. It can also helps to avoid hassle in traffic.

Bitcoin reach $8000 usd is more than expert's expectation. The risk is even bigger now, because maybe that is not the price it should be, maybe just the result of excessive enthusiasm. Invest in bitcoin is very risky, but profitable for the long time holders.

Considering the total number of population using the bitcoins and altcoins and the amount of stores accepting it as a payment, we will find that not many people uses bitcoin as a payment method. The population using bitcoins are actually using it more as an investment commodity.
Even for now we can call it as in investment coin but in future it will surely be the major in payment methods accepted worldwide.

For now bitcoin is an investment currency, everybody who starts investing in bitcoin, obviously want to make some cash, but slowly it will become more then that, one we will override that 1% of the world population who uses cryptocurrencyes.

Bitcoin is not just an investment currency but it equally serve the general purpose of currency and at the same time as an investment opportunities that yield return on investment over time period.

Yes, bitcoin is value adds for digital investment in age of technology, not for replace a real investment instrument.  Bitcoin have life span and have risk value and the user have known that when they accept bitcoin as an investment than the have accept the risk.

Well, I almost believe that bitcoin is just for investment, because bitcoin is more about on investing and trading in order to get your money, I say almost because I am not totally believe that bitcoin is just only for investment, in other country like Japan and Russia they allowed bitcoin for transaction and exchange for there works and many more and lastly many people get a part time job because of bitcoin.
