Why not both ? S payment system and an asset. An asset because it's like gold and goes up in value. Unlike good a currency too. That can be used to directly ourchase things. Bitcoin is so much more then merely a currency and asset.
I agree that. Bitcoin can be both money and investment. It is a good place for investors to keep there money and save it and wait for the price to go up. There is no inflation in Bitcoin and I can guarantee that the prices will always go up

It cannot be the dominant crypto as digital gold only without being a payment system (digital cash).
The reason for this is that there is too much competition from other cryptocurrencies.
If Bitcoin can't be useful as widespread payment method, it will lose a lot of demand,
which will lead to lower prices, which leads to less mining revenue, which leads to
less security, and thus taking away the only thing that would make it digital gold
in the first place absent high utility as payment method.
In other words, why would anyone use Bitcoin when another crypto could offer
high security AND low fees? I'm sure some people would still use bitcoin even
if it had high fees and slow transactions, but it wouldn't stay on top and have
high security or a high price.

Bitcoin is like gold because it will increase or decrease of its value sometimes. It will has be a high value and low value. It will keep as gold and will preserve for the future.

Bitcoin is both digital gold as well as Digital currency. One thing that makes it better than the digital gold or digital cash is it's evolution within the system or technology unlike the commodity value. The value has now getting closer to gold and soon it would cross it growing big.
I am happy to see the voting result, that mostly people think that bitcoin is seem like gold and also cash. Because for me, it is both, bitcoin is for me, not less than gold, because it is expensive digital thing like gold.
Also whenever i want to use my bitcoins in any place, than i could use it like cash.

Bitcoin is digital cash, but his potencial is very above then the gold, soo some people does use bitcoin to store value against their fiat currency, as well used for saving purposes as well investment at the same time. For me bitcoin is the digital gold, with amazing potencial to grow.
I too think bitcoins got a good potential, but I will never grade it more than gold, not in terms of market price but to hold it for a long term. Gold is gold and nothing can replace it. Bitcoin is another good option for an investment since its prices are more volatile so I don't want to keep more money in bitcoins. Because it has a chance of going up and down quite fast so I will invest more in gold and less in bitcoin.

Bitcoin is both digital gold as well as Digital currency.
Bitcoin can be used as cash to buy products.
At the same time,since bitcoin price is constantly increasing,it can be stored as a long term investment.thus it may be called as Digital gold.

It's an asset class having features of both a currency and a store of value.
In essence it is both digital gold and digital cash even with the sizing and transaction debate the focus is on a store of value but people still use it as a means of cash.
Of course if the fees outweigh the costs of doing that for a long period of time then it hits a bottleneck and the transactions will transition elsewhere leaving the store of value and asset class as the heaviest leaning.

Digital Cash, Digital Gold simply wouldn't work based on the simple narrative of that Gold can't really be used as cash in anyway in person at all while cash can be used to buy things like it's meant to do.
Well if it has the ability to effect the changes you're talking about then it is a digital gold yet to be mined and refined for people to see its value. I think it's both digital cash and digital good because it's electronically operated yet has semblance of both cash(fiat) and commodity (gold).
Mining Process is something that I wouldn't really compare as one is a computer solving problems to confirm legitimacy and another is ACTUALLY MINING with machines and such.
Well, you could probably say Bitcoin is like a ton of other items due to the similarity in price. Wouldn't use that to call them similar It's cash bud.
Well i dont think bitcoin is either of this .because 90% of the people use bitcoins for earning ,that is sell the bitcoins when the price is high.Bitcoins being used for groceries is not being widely used,if used in this manner will change the face of the earth in many ways.

Maybe sometimes bitcoin looks like gold, because it has a high price, but bitcoin also can be said very easy to get like cash. Maybe bitcoin is a combination of both, so can be said bitcoin is cash and gold money depends on the use.

Yes, bitcoin is a combination of these two phenomena. This is a coin and payment system. But now I use more bitcoin for investment. I buy bitcoins and just hold them, then to sell more expensive
You can find many articles in cryptocurrency news websites where it is said that someone bought e.g car or a whole company.
I would also tell that still, the things are you talking about can be defined as a digital gold, which is because you also use this precious metal to invest your money, and most likely get returns.
So i think that you may consider bitcoin as a digital gold, because you may just simply get great profits on both of the assets just by holding them.
Bitcoin is supposed to do both but at the moment bitcoin is behaving a lot closer to gold than to cash, also bitcoin has a big weakness compared to cash it is not truly anonymous and that hurts it is usage since if you want to be anonymous you need to use tumbling services.
Cash is anonymous only in p2p environment. So you are going to tell me that you are not using any 3rd party service to process your fiat payments?You don't have a bank account, you receive your wage directly from your employer in cash form, and no one keeps tabs how much you earn?
Bitcoin was pseudonymous at best, if you want full privacy there are better altcoins (Zcash, Monero) dedicated to keep your payments confidential.
