Do you use bitcoin as currency? Or you use bitcoin as investment? Or both?
I use bitcoin as currency and i never sell my bitcoin, but i prefer to use bitcoin when price is rising Grin

So, how about you?
For me I do both as a currency and investment. And I think almost of the bitcoin users are do bitcoin as investment and a currency. As investment because bitcoin price is not stable so its the advantage of it to buy at low and hold, or just sell it. and as a currency because as of now there's a lot online shops and even physical stores accept already bitcoin as there ways of payments.

That is the whole beauty of bitcoin. It just like hitting many birds in just one stone. All of its features are amazing. One of the many things I love about bitcoin is apart from it can be used as investment and as a currency, we can also easily deposit it in online casinos which compared to fiat money, bitcoins has no further waiting and requirements - bitcoin deposits is credited to your online casino account in an instant upon account creation.

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

It's just fine that you are using it to buy something and using it as a currency, but I think if you are keeping your bitcoin and taking good care of it and saving it and always thinking about its value, I think we could already consider it as an investment, but if you just convert it to fiat immediately, then it's more like a currency...

Bitcoin is mainly used as a digital currency and not as a physical currency and that makes people to treat it as an investment and in future when people find direct places to spend they will start using it as a currency.

Unless people are not made aware about bitcoins it won't be easy that we would be able to spend it easily, merchants will start accepting it only if they hold sound knowledge of it.

what is the exact time about "long term" you wanna hold your bitcoin? I assumed you're a rich person, so you didn't need bitcoin for your living?
I know a lot of people predict if bitcoin will rise in the future, but it's has a chance for drop too, Bitcoin is unpredictable.

For me there is already a demand for bitcoin the thing is that the people must adopt it even though the demand is going to be high but still a lot of people is not going to use it as currency then it is going to be wasted. But as of now, I am really using bitcoin as currency since I am paying my bills online with the use of it and as well as holdings like investment.

Yeah, if people use it for merely speculative purposes, this will delay the development of the ecosystem, so it's important to follow your example.

I am using it as an investment at a moment as the place where I live is not that tech developed and people are not aware about it so it makes difficult for me to use it as a currency.

It is still good. If you can't spend bitcoins, you can just hold all of them and wait til a very high price. It is actually better because you will not be tempted to spend your bitcoins on useless things.

Yeah and bitcoin always allows us to convert it to fiat if we are in desperate need of money, but its good to save them for future and spend them when price goes higher.

This is something that inadvertently did when I began with bitcoin, I bought some bitcoin and then for whatever reason I did not spend it right away, then a month later the price had double and I was able to buy more things than I would have been able if I spent my bitcoin right away.

Its not that you should never spend your coins, if price seems good to you then you can always spend them as bitcoin is an currency and it should be used and treated as an currency.

The number of bitcoin holders are always expecting bitcoin to become usable as a currency as well but because of the low level of adoption we are still not available to use it as a currency that is the reason why it is being used as an investment mostly.

Lol I think if you do not know where to invest bitcoin and how much you want to invest I think you just need to hold the course in your bitcoin wallet and wait for prices to rise. you have to have is patience I'm sure you will benefit from this investment? why do not you try it?

Yeah if one doesn't have knowledge of trading and investment then the best thing is to hold them for future, no doubt holding will not grow your coins but if price goes higher in future you can earn good profits from it.
