If you are paying for things in Bitcoin, you are using it as money. If you see it as a store of value that can beat inflation, you probably see it as an asset class similar to gold and so on.

[FlightyPouch]

Bitcoin is like a currency its not like a money , peopel accepting it but high volatility always make happy or sad every time when it moving 20-30% up or down.

I don't see Bitcoin as a currency or as a money since it is treated as an asset more than a money or a currency. Yes, Bitcoin is accepted and used by some as a payment but because of its volatility and high fees, a lot of them stopped accepting it.

It is a digital currency so it might be called by other people as a currency still for me, Bitcoin is an asset and nothing more.

I agree with you that for many, bitcoin is an asset, and most people use it as a profit, but the number of outlets that accept it as payment also increases. I think we will still come to the fact that we will use crypto-currencies as a means of payment.

[pankowri]

In my opinion it's both.The rule of doing it's like a currency, then at the end of the work there is a money.Though money isn't available,it has to be converted.
