Indeed. I think it has a lot of potential. It potentially has the potential to be a potential game-changer, potentially.

Seriously, it's a currency and payment system but people are using it as an asset currently, so all three.

From my opinion, it can and will be used more and more, in many different places and forms.

It's at least a payment system and an asset

Not exactly a currency now, though

Feels like people are treating it more as a 'stock' than a currency...

Its taxed more like such, not exactly ideal but understandable...

I`ll treat it more as a stock as well. It wont replace the fiat currency, but its there to give consumers some leg room to create some sort of financial net from bankers messing with the fiat system.

To see some concrete arguments for that will be interesting...
