Bitcoin is a currency and it should be used like an currency but the fact is most of the users are treating it as an investment and the only reason behind it is they don't have any scope of spending it at a moment.

I am Using it as an Investment Because I Am Doing Bitcoin Trading and Sometimes I invest My Bitcoins in Various investment Websites To Earn A Good Income......

Using bitcoin as an investment is good as everyone is looking to make profits from it but you also should use it as a currency to make it more stronger and powerful currency.

Agree and a currency that is being used globally will result for a good and strong currency with best foundation.

And besides, bitcoin was made because of it's currency purposes and not as an investment. We just need to use it as an investment so that it can become popular for other people.
I think bitcoin will become more popular if it is used as a currency and if there are many shops that start accepting  bitcoin as a payment then it will draw more attention of people.

Somehow it's true. But people are used to have a same currency traits so it's better for bitcoin that it gained popularity first from investment. Then after establishing it's name as a strong currency, it can be used now purely as a currency like any fiat will do. Also it's unique feature compare to other currency will add some good reason why people must use this currency.

There will always be people that use BTC as a stock/investment and as pointed out before that's partly because lack of uses (in person of course) for BTC. Once that changes and people use BTC instead of converting to fiat each time, the price of BTC won't rise much anyways because along with that govts will tax on BTC

Splendid. I also invested in but just in some wallet website. Now because of what happened with bitfinex I am trying to look for a more trusted exchange site to put all my savings.
if you are from philippines you can choose coins.ph where it easy to exchange bitcoin into peso because it has 2 wallet's to choose and easy to use because they partners in some remitance center where you can withdraw you money if you sell your bitcoins and if you have banks you can deposit your bitcoins into your banks  Wink

You are right, I'll be very happy when or if it is used as a more widespread payment medium. There are clear benefits, its an international currency, clearing is faster than a bank clearing system (at least for me, confirmation takes a few minutes compared to days for my credit card), its also much cheaper than credit card transactions. Problems are that bitcoin is not backed by any government central banks, tax laws are not existing or primitive for BTC transactions and there is the price volatility and security concerns amongst other things. But its still a very new concept and I hope things will progress.

I used them both, But majority is investment. I'm doing it because I do believe with this stuff which is bitcoins I can have savings in the near future. Especially if the price goes down I'm gonna take the chance to buy bitcoins. But while Im on trading process I wanna make it grow first so that I have some money that I can use it as payment for the things I want to buy. Wink

I use Bitcoin as a currency so I can invest. I don't use Bitcoin as an investment alone, I will trade bitcoins and profit from a price rise as well as any profit made from trading. Although this method is risky I think it is better than simply holding Bitcoin.

Same thing that I will do.  Leaving bitcoin in  the wallet and waiting for the price to increase is just wasting lots of opportunity to multiply your money.  Making it sleep is not the way  it must be.  You should trade it actively , by trading altcoin and other increasing stocks. It will give more profit to you.

yes i am also using bitcoin bitcoin just like other people who are using bitcoin for investment only, the reason is that we have not facilities in our local area to use bitcoin for shopping or for any other purposes, therefore i am using bitcoin for investment only, but i am still hopeful that a time will come when we will be able to use bitcoin for buying every thing using bitcoin,

Yes majority of users are using it as an investment as there are no shops available where we can spend our coins so till that day comes we need to treat it as an investment.

I plan to use it for a little of both. Use as a currency is limited to whatever the current exchange rate is but as an investment the possibilities are endless.... well, that is unless it dies. Then I guess the possibilities will end  Cry

I agree with eddyubachs that until stores in your country accept bitcoin as payment, treating bitcoin as investment is the way to go.. In the country I am living right now, stores are not accepting bitcoin and I use bitcoin for exchange, lending, and gambling only.

then it means that you are using bitcoin as an investment alone as you are buying bitcoin only for earning profit as you mentioned and you did not mentioned any shopping with bitcoin not even bought any service with bitcoin.

indeed most of the people using bitcoin as an investment tool, it is because they have gained an advantage from it. bitcoin is very suitable for investment, especially if you invest in large quantities. although the price of bitcoin down, you can still make it back by increasing the number of bitcoin do you have a way of trading

sometimes bitcoin becomes a very good investment but sometimes I think it is now taking the shape of like other currencies with good stability, I thin we have to work for making bitcoin as a normal currency and have to work for its stability as there are a lot of altcoins which are much beneficial as investment and to trade with.

I use the bitcoin mainly as an investment. I hold the coins for a few years already. I also spend some coins.

I use bitcoin as an investment. Because I can benefit easily in bitcoin. I can benefit from utilizing the fluctuation of bitcoin. I'm sure if bitcoin is a benefit to both, there are a lot of ways here that I coud use.
