With the recent up move in price, there are some analysts that feel that BTC could become the new asset of choice for hedging. BTC holds all of the right characteristics of a hedging asset. If BTC could become the choice of hedgers the valuation potential is staggering.

Yes, it is because slowly everyone is gaining knowledge on bitcoins. Volatile nature of bitcoin gets overshadowed by the profit, the investors make.

In the last few years, bitcoin has had an open market value. I think another reason behind this is the development of the cryptographic community. Yes, as we all can testify, I think Bitcoin has stayed long enough and it has passed most of the successful trials while it is still alive despite its many obstacles and critics. Bitcoin serves all functions required to become a hedging asset. Bitcoin really has many characteristics to become a hedge. "Bitcoin can not be used as a barrier or storage value in a market where Fiat and Crypto come together in such a booming way." As deflation and network effects become an old story for these newcomer."

Its good when the new market hedge is part of bitcoin with the development of the encrypted community because its possible good market potential that could bring as to add the stability and dominance on the market by Bitcoin. Bitcoin will reach a stable state and then there will be chance for it to become the market hedge.

BTC does possess all the right characteristics of being a hedging asset. Plus this coin does have a good footing in the market and is popular too. The only downside is that it fluctuates. If this comes to a stable position then it will be a flawless one.

I think in the near future bitcoin will be considered as a market hedge once volatility may be lessen further. The point of bitcoin of becoming a market hedge could mean more investors to invest in btc since the risk of losing money in btc investment could have a much lesser risk.

What makes bitcoin a great investment to a lot of off shore investors is that it can easily be transferred quickly without a middleman. Banks are able to freeze your assets but with bitcoin you are the sole owner and no one can freeze or seize your btc.

This past year people kept saying institutional money was coming but I think it will take a few years for mainstream investors to enter the crypto world. It's a great hedge against real estate and fiat money which can implode at anytime.

Yeah and emerging markets are needing it more and more now that their currencies are becoming useless. It's hard for citizens of these countries to live with spiraling inflation, rapid devaluation, and stagnant growth, so they turn to bitcoin, gold, and dollar to protect themselves. Unfortunately, more people value the second two these days because they think bitcoin is "super risky"

Once institutional money finds its way in, we'll see more people dipping their toes in. But it might not be a good thing because they can also monkey-hammer it down with massive shorts whenever they want as well.

Bitcoins actually has many traits for becoming hedge asset . It has good usability that is one of the major reasons for being value protected asset. This factor makes it a good asset of being hedge. I think another reason behind this is the development of crypto community.

Yes. Bitcoin is becoming the new market hedge though it's price fluctuates up and down which makes it unstable. Aside from that, I think bitcoin can help curb inflation.

There is long way to go for Bitcoin before it becomes market hedge. Though it already indicates and dictates other Altcoins' growth sometimes, but, in reality to become a market hedge BTC needs to become stable. The current volatile situation and regular fluctuations within few hours are the reasons what is stopping it from becoming market hedge.

To be honest, being highly volatile and fluctuation of price on a regular basis is what is stopping Bitcoin from becoming the market hedge. So it definitely needs to become stable before establishing itself as a hedge. Hopefully, we will see something like this in the near future.

Bitcoin will take lot more times to be a hedge asset. Still now the price range is volatile, luckily most of the time of uprise. Since the mining is saturating we can hope it to be a hedge very soon.

I don't know calling it hedge is appropriate or not but this is a true fact that it is definitely falling impact in the regular economic system and bringing a new revolution for the upcoming generations, Undecided

so it is up to the users how they received this new technology.

Well, as wee can all testify, I think Bitcoin has stayed for long enough and it's passed most tests successfully whilst it's still living despite the naysays, obstacles and criticisms. I think it can be a very good hedging asset. Bitcoin serve all the required functions to be a hedging asset.

As we see bitcoin has an extended market value for the recent few years and this factor makes it a great asset of being hedge. Another thing behind this I think is the development of crypto community.

Bitcoin needs to burn through the high inflation and also needs to be stabilized. So I think it could be a hedging asset after a few years maybe one or two.
