Topic: Is bitcoin an asset or a currency? - page 9. (Read 3626 times)

I think BTC can't using such as payment system because too slow and hight fee
I think it should using such as a asset of crypto currency!

Yes batcoin is a very beneficial asset and it work on online and as you can say its a digital currency so many of people getting a lot profits because they invest their money in bitcoin and waiting for its more high price, so that's why it will more popular in future.

while it is too early to use, so it is an asset. once that is payment method in stores (that I do not really believe, since it will remain an asset) then it will become currency

I guess its an asset at the moment because its going up in value. When more vendors take it as payment then it will become a currency. Maybe a currency and an asset, and maybe that's what money should be.

Bitcoin is an electronic asset which is a  major  crypto currency .It can only operate through electronically so there is no physical form to it.Bitcoin is a good media for the transactions .With the short period bitcoin has acquired the investors confidence and more people are attracted to it by the form of investors and day traders Bitcoins popularity has widened and more people are attracted to it and hence its price also increased.

I think bitcoin is more appropriate to be an asset instead of currency, this is because if used as a currency of course many countries do not like and banned for fear of defeating real money, but if used as an asset then all countries will be happy to legalize bitcoin.

i think bitcoin is both currency as well as asset because bitcoin can help you in your future and also it can help you in your present so bitcoin is all in one.

Can be said both.disatakan assets because if viewed from the value of its price always up from year to year, so some investors investing in bitcoin as assets.in say currency because in some countries have received bitcoin as a medium of payment transactions.

hybrid between fiat currency and commodity currency without intrinsic value and independent of any government or monetary authority. This paper analyses the question of whether Bitcoin is currency or an asset

I think bitcoin is both a currency and an asset, currency in a sense that you can buy many things with bitcoin or you  can exchange it into any local currency and buy things. Bitcoin is surely an asset as well.

It was supposed to be used as a currency, and therefore I have no doubt that it can serve that purpose. But over the years, the attempts to use it as a currency has failed due to the extreme volatility associated with the exchange rates, and the high transaction fee.

bitcoin is considered as currency  because of its major characteristics like liquidity that is same as dollar and other currencies.
governments consider bitcoin to be asset because they want to have cuts on bitcoin gains.

it doesn't really matter what you call it. Crypto is crypto, it's a new thing, hasn't existed before.

Because the currency needs to fulfill three important functions: payment, accounting and value storage. But so far Bitcoin has not become a real currency. Because of the ease of payment, Bitcoin's real value is not reflected in the price. It lies in usefulness, convenience. No organization can intervene and control. So the real value should be reflected in the security in the purchase and payment.

In 2015, 433 billion electronic transactions were registered. If the number of such transactions continues to grow at a constant rate of 10 percent per year, this number will reach 1.5 trillion by 2028.

If BTC is expected to be the reference currency for all of these transactions, then, according to the previously calculated energy cost of 1011 kWh per transaction, it will require an energy of about 1,511,484 terawatt hours, which can not be achieved with the help of the most powerful nuclear power plants assembled together . The largest US nuclear power plant generates only 34 terawatts of power

Bitcoin for me asset. I want to save bitcoin for my retire life and i also keep bitcoin my children future. I want to save bitcoin for good life and i believe that bitcoin give me so much.

We can consider bitcoin as a currency or what they are usually called as a cryptocurrency which we are actually used in Internet. We also considered bitcoin as a asset because bitcoin is still a money, but not tangible. We can use it to invest in different companies online which may result to a good feedback.

Yeah we can consider bitcoin so both because some people are making profit from bitcoin y keeping I as an asset of the long time some are using bitcoin as a currency only so we can so both with bitcoin can be done, my friends bought bitcoin they hold it as an asset for the long time and at the same time I have seen a lot of people using bitcoin open at shopping to buy all kind of things to  buy relative goods of their demand, I personally wane save bitcoin as an asset as I have a plan to start my business in future.

I think bitcoin can be used as an asset and currency, we all know that now we can use bitcoin for online payments so it works the same as currency, whereas we say assets because almost all asset traits are in bitcoin.
