Topic: Is Bitcoin digital gold or digital cash? - page 23. (Read 12062 times)
As Ive see bitcoin be serves as gold and cash because for giving fast transactions all the way. It is served bitcoin as digital currency that may use by anyone. Giving a long term investment because of its price is increasing thats why it can serves a bitcoin digital gold.
Bitcoin is a digital cash and not to compares from gold because it's totally different due to gold is a mineral type and bitcoin is money which could be used to transact payments online and it's a unique type of currency. Gold is not a currency and it's just a form of material having precious value and established to be having a price which is sold to the consumers and most people liked to use it as jewelry and collection as well as investments. Digital cash from bitcoin is profitable and can be used for daily living which is for our spending.
for me it's both too that Store of value because if i store my bitcoin and hold for long term it will more valuable than now and Payment system because bitcoin can use for buying several needs just like traditional currency and bitcoin is not gold but in the future it will more shiny than gold
For me its both, soon using bitcoin in bills and other payments will conceptualize bitcoin as cash and the possibility of profit just by saving bitcoin only means it can be slightly considered as gold. Bitcoin has the same features as cash and gold it just don't have enough power to gain control and be considered as global currency, and the features of bitcoin is somehow questionable because of the anonymous transactions, I mean it can be used in many illegal ways.
I see bitcoin more as cash than as gold. Well, I can use bitcoin as a transaction tool, so I say that bitcoin is money in internet, not gold from internet. It looks good if we see bitcoin as money, because the profit becomes bigger.

i think bitcoin have both function which is a store of value and a payment system because when we don't want to spend our bitcoin, then we can store it in our wallet and the other side, we can spend it for replace existing payment system that we know in internet. now maybe bitcoin is can not be like gold but in future if bitcoin is raise the new people and the system of bitcoin and blockchain is more effective than now, i think bitcoin will become digital gold and digital cash.
If you ask a early adopter, you mostly get the answer " Digital Gold " .... but many people hold firm that Bitcoin is supposed to be
a alternative for cash, or a Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. I use both the currency token and also the store of value
feature, because you can do both.

To some extent Bitcoin needs to be both. I think that it was only a payment system due to the influx of new money and the high supply of new Bitcoin in the early days. As time goes on, Bitcoin will require more and more money to be put in for it to be practical, but it will still be practical if you do put that much money in and people will do it so it'll be more like gold.
To some extent, Bitcoin needs the element of digital currency in order to act like gold, because people still need to pass gold between different parties. Online wallets should be viewed like Goldmoney or something that holds your gold for you because you don't feel like you can handle it yourself.

It is a digital currency, or can be called as digital cash, that was the main purpose of bitcoin created, to make global transaction easier and more efficient without the need of changing the value of different fiat, however because of bitcoin is valuable and the amount is limited people used this opportunity to create more profit by making them "more wanted" by keep bitcoin as investment and sell it when the price is right, so bitcoin can become digital gold for investment or digital cash for transaction
Answers to this question are constantly posted on this forum and on Reddit by people who are not software engineers/developers, nor product managers. Either that or they are truly terrible at their jobs. Reddit in particular has really turned into a garbage dump, but that's something for another discussion.
More than 80% of Bitcoin users are not computer code literate - in my opinion, this is the main issue when it comes to mainstream adoption of digital assets.
Non code literate market participants are not being catered to in any direct or meaningful way.
This could cause serious problems in the future is left un-addressed
Dear all''

It is an value storage token that has got the similarities of digital gold. 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.
Bitcoin is a symbol of the power of technology, the power of digital, as far as I know, 1M BTC has the power of 500 supercomputers working together. A terrible power. That's why bitcoins are popular. And bitcoin can really compete with gold, not long ago, it has overtaken gold, even for a short time, but enough to show its mighty power.
Moreover what i am seeing concern about bitcoin is a future currency that is coming up to dominate others.
So it is a future currency as we are seeing every thing clear.
I don't think that there any currency in comparison with bitcoin now.

Digital settlement and reserve currency.
Payment system. Yes. Store of value. Sure. It can and has many functions.

It is interesting how the marketing has changed over the years. It seems it wasn't that long ago that it was trumpeted as both gold and digital cash. With the scaling debate and fee increases though the digital cash angle has taken a backseat to the digital gold narrative. And in fairness it was originally conceived as "bit gold" so maybe this is the inevitable end point of any crypto asset; it eventually runs into scaling problems and then relies on some additional layer to create the cash part.
Well, you can't sell it as both. There's only one way: digital gold. Big blocks kill the digital gold feature, which kill the digital cash feature too (you can have digital cash when digital gold is not an option), since big blocks centralize the network.
With conservative blocks, you can get digital gold, and you can build on top a second layer, which is debatable if it would be considered digital cash or not, but it's definitely more private than traditional payment systems and fiat currencies.

It depends on how everyone as an individual makes use of Bitcoin. I personally see and use it more as something that can be seen as Gold. I am not really interested in using my coins for spending purposes. I use it as a store of value, where my main motive is to keep a large portion of my wealth outside the banking and governmental system. At the same time, the volatile nature of Bitcoin lends itself perfectly for investment/trading purposes, which is also what I am using Bitcoin for. For me the right term is indeed digital Gold.

Without a level of utility value, bitcoin cannot be a store of value.
