Yeah, some guys are really concerned about referring to BTC as an investment. Why not? What's wrong with the term? Look it up and see it IS an investment by definition Cool

i love this post, like it or leave it, BTC is an investment and it can never die. this bitcoin has really helped alot of people transforming their lives from abject poverty even  in the developing countries through little investment. those that believe in it are eating the good of the land. even though the price of BTC is down now, that doesnt mean that it will not rise again. its a matter of time.

bitcoin is not just an investment, but bitcoin has many benefits that might make bitcoin as one of the technologies needed in the future. so the benefits of bitcoin cannot be shown in real terms and now can only be seen as an investment tool

Bitcoin is a new, modern, unique form of investment. And so of all the investment methods available now, I chose this technology.

I see great prospects in investing in bitcoin, because it allows you to get a very decent income. And the time for bitcoin currency has not yet come.

Yes, this line of thought, align with me.
Bitcoin as a decentralized virtual currency does not that stable function like fiat money.
Reason why,  so many take it to be an asset.
So buying it for for long holding is but an investment.

I think that the whole field of crypto currencies has become an investment. Every currency we have.
During the past months we have seen the altcoins go down while bitcoin has managed to stay relatively stable.
Everybody can draw his/her own conclusions where the trust of the crypto investors is lying and where the focus of the crypto gamblers is aiming at.

Although bitcoin is conceived as a currency, now it is much more profitable to use it as an investment. Especially while the price is unstable and it is not yet fully formed as a currency.

                              In an economic sense,
 An INVESTMENT is the purchase of goods that are not consumed today but are used in the future to create wealth.
                                        In finance
An INVESTMENT is a monetary asset purchased with the idea that the asset will provide income in the future or will later be sold at a higher price for a profit.

I really don't want to turn these into an economics class but the both definition of what investments are clearly should settle the argument of whether BTC is truly an investment or not.


but that is my question from your opinion above. isn't btc actually a medium of exchange. if btc is an investment as you say you think you are wrong, because in addition to the exchange of btc there will be no use, just imagine the difference between btc and stock is the stock of having a job to do like selling a product or service, but for btc it is not , btc can only be used for exchange tools, because actually satoshi's goal of making btc is to exchange in cyberspace especially deepweb

I do believe that bitcoin is an investment. An investment which is risky but definitely worth it in the end. Bitcoin has the ability to gave us huge profit , benefits , and opportunities and that is the advantage on investing in bitcoin.

Bitcoin has become more than an investment right now and it continues to go even bigger. I would go even further and say that bitcoin might be the puzzle key for the new monetary system that at some point it will come.

I think it depend on how you will use bitcoin. It can be investmemt  by holding it for long time since there's a chance that it will gain more value in the future like most people do but bitcoin can also be currency (why else it's called cryptocurrency) used as medium of exchange.

As bitcoin believer I don't see much reason why we need to argue if bitcoin is currency, investment, digital gold or asset or whatever as long as we're using it and holding and believing that bitcoin is here to stay changing the world and revolutionize financial transaction.

Definiitel, there are two sides to this argument. No matter what form of explanation you give, we cannot all agree on a single point. As long as btc can be used for exchange of goods and services, it qualifies as a currency and it is suppose to be a currency. It can be used alternatively as an investment but that does not mean the primary function no longer exist

Most of our community think about that and expect a huge profit at the of the day they forget the essence of bitcoin as a currency.

For me, investment is simple, something that has economic value can be used as an investment product, such as fiat, gold, stocks and more. Crypto has very good economic value and is included in the investment category even though many people call it gambling or other products

Well said. Bitcoin is an investment but it is considered as a very risky investment. It is because its price is very volatile and there is a high chance that you will gain loss, not profit. Nevertheless, thanks for promoting bitcoin once more and contributing to the positive side in this forum.

In terms of profit and economy in the long run, bitcoin can provide a good future hope, so that many people buy bitcoin as a long-term savings in the hope that the next few years can provide a great advantage for them. Thus bitcoin has become a very important part of being a long-term asset which means that bitcoin is an investment that many people are investing in bitcoin and are an excellent long-term investment in cryptocurrency.
