Bitcoin is not investment but you can see more talks about price increasing and earnings on exchanges.
But i don't know why we can't see 100$ again or even less?

You are right it is not. It got super stable for some time now. But you know what? its not a bad thing at all. That stability is bitcoins advantage. It may and will draw more attention and trust for the cryptos in general. May be after halving some big fluctuations will happen? Nevertheless for investments purpose there are other alts like eth etc... |

I think your right, it's a currency. But to complicate things one could invest in currencies.

I cant see this since this is a debate between fiat vs bitcoin. I mean the only reason we see value for a price on bitcoin is due to fiat.. so yeah.. |

bitcoin can be whatever you want. for me bitcoin is a currency, store of wealth, and an investment tool. that's what my bitcoin usage looks like. at this moment there is way too much demand, so prices of $100 and even lower will possibly never happen again, unless there is very bad news such as a huge exchange that lost all its coins due to a hack or theft from inside the exchange.

I agree with you that bitcoin was not created to be an investment. but earning from exchanges is normal for any currency. and you can not see $100 again because simply, no one wants to sell his bitcoin for this low price now |

So now bitcoin can be said as investment but it is like Mutual Fund which you are investing as investment but their is no confirmation that you will earn this much on this much time. |

It was not intended to be an investment, but a currency. But oil was not supposed to ve an investment, but to act as fuel. Houses were not supposed to be investments, but to act as homes... etc.

But it absolutely sucks as a currency! Nobody wants to spend their bitcoin except the hardcore users who insist it's the revolutionary world currency. But it doesn't seem like it's turning out that way, does it? And what of all these shitcoins--are they currency as well? I would say hell no. They're digital gold. A way to store and transfer value. So I say bitcoin is definitely an investment. At least more so than a currency. |

Yes I kind of agree. Usually an investment is something that earns you a cash flow, for example real estate. Bitcoin could be considered a currency and it could also be considered a speculative asset at the moment. Long term it's also more a store of a value. Investment is a term that's used pretty loosely though.

First of all, bitcoin cannot be an 'investment' but an 'investment instrument.' Secondly, that bitcoin is not designed to be an investment instrument, or that bitcoin is in essence not an investment instrument does not preclude its being an investment instrument. Because, being an investment instrument is not an inherent property of a thing, but is about the way in which people make use of a thing. Thus, if there are speculators who think they are investing in bitcoin, then in that particular use, bitcoin becomes an investment instrument. Money, stocks, and bonds are also the same. If you use bitcoin to buy something, then in that particular use, bitcoin is not an investment instrument. Clear as it is.

Is not an investment you are right, I'ts a currency Bitcoin as a currency is strong that it wont go down that far again,bitcoin has its user that is faithful to the currency thats why the price is high if there are no more users then the price might go down. |

Investment is a term that's used pretty loosely though.
That was what I thought when I first saw this thread's title. Bitcoin, metals, real estate, fine art, musical instruments, ownership of businesses (including shares) and antiques are all investments. So are friendships, children, education, experience and business contacts. Not all investments are material things. |

Anything that requires effort, money or time to be put into it of some kind is an investment; and education is an investment (like you said), exercise is an investment, a bitcointalk.org account is an investment. Some investments are far more valuable than others. |

I must disagree. Bitcoin is essentially an investment.
Of course it's a currency, but many currencies can be invested in but also have a form of value.
As an example, take gold. You can invest in it and earn significant profit when the price rises. Of course, you could lose as well. That goes for any investment, a profit is never guaranteed. You can also trade gold and it was once a means of currency, before fiat money came into play.
Same with Bitcoin. Think of it like gold. You can buy shares of it but many people still accept it as a means of payment. It doesn't matter if the price has been stable or volatile, that is up to the supply and demand of said commodity.
Point is, you can make an investment in virtually anything. Heck, I could make an "investment" in my future and learn Spanish to be able to speak it. In the world of economics, you can invest in any commodity or currency. Especially when it comes to FOREX trading, which is the core of what we're talking about.

I would say that Bitcoin is money, but it isn't accepted enough to be easily used as a currency.
It is probably used more as an investment, but then the US dollar is used as an investment in lots of 3rd world countries, so that doesn't mean that it can't be a currency and/or money too.
I see it much more like Gold at the moment though. It is money, but places don't accept it as currency, so you have to go through steps to trade it for currency before spending it. That makes it harder to use, so people treat it like an investment.
