Bitcoin is an asset or currency.

[renggileh]

Although bitcoin is created as a digital currency but because of the functionality and specialty of this bitcoin can certainly turn it into the most valuable commodity so almost everyone in the world is working hard to be able to get bitcoin with their various efforts. certainly a way that doesn't harm others.

Simply bitcoin is a currency because it is a means of exchanging goods and services between some of its holders, and thus it is a legal tender in some jurisdictions. On the other hand, bitcoin is an asset because it has the capability of increasing one's wealth, and it can be kept over time for the purpose of making profitsm

Bitcoin is created as currency, but we can also use it as assets, in fact in current time when bitcoin is not as such popular and its use is still restricted therefore most of the people are using bitcoin as for investment and trading purposes, but in future i think that when bitcoin will become more common then people will even start using bitcoin as currency and specially for shopping online.

for today, there are such online stores, then she is offered to buy their goods for Bitcoin. This, of course, greatly facilitates the procedure for users of crypto currency.

[Mr.John19]

Once bitcoin is actually accepted by more retailers, then it will be used more like a currency instead of just an asset

That is right. Bitcoin was the best digital currency for payment the most part in the online store. Also, the best cryptocurrency of all and this is the best coin to hold for a long year. We can consider that bitcoin can be assent or currency of everyone. This one motivation behind why I like utilizing the bitcoin due to the ability to switch it. Bitcoin is an entire bundle for everybody.

I think It's better as a currency, because your price will be better spent when you've been looking for it. In addition, transactions can be made to others no doubt that the money was sent (and received). it is considered a currency.
This is better as currency, because the price will be much better

[kodtycoon]

The bitcoin imagery is so broad in my opinion that bitcoin is so worth it and very valuable to have, because anyone who holds bitcoin will certainly be able to make good money from bitcoin.

I hear from many sources that btc is used for trading much more than it is for goods and services; doesn't that make it an asset ??
and is that necessarily a bad thing ?? and what can we do about it as a community ??

Bitcoin is just an asset before when no one is interested on investing on it but as the time goes by, there are people who became interested on cryptocurrency and it makes the price of bitcoins to increase even more in the market and now it become a currency.

[Souri]

Currently I would advice everybody to treat BTC as a non tangible asset. Especially considering that many local jurisdictions are not really finished with their assessment of BTC.

As of today bitcoin is a currency because it evolved from an asset and most of the people are using cryptocurrency just like credit cards in order to purchase items online because most of the online shops today has implemented a cryptocurrency payment method already.

[queenlaurel]

Bitcoin is obviously both in the sense that as an asset now people hold and sell when the price is high and make more coin and getting rich. Then as a currency its peer to peer and it is meant to be what all everyone around the world could have and do businesses with, its also personal as in anonymous and its also cheap and effective.

[baldur odinson]

Can be said the owners of bitcoin will make a very valuable asset, of course this is because bitcoin has proven profitable over the past few years so it becomes an important asset for most users.

[klasik1980]

An asset is some kind of economic resource. It can be controlled or owned and it provides the owner with value, usually financial. A house is an asset. You can sell a house and get cash in return.

A currency is a system of money, a means of exchange. You used currency to buy a latte this morning.

Based on those definitions Bitcoin could be both a currency and an asset.  It was created to be a currency and you can certainly buy things with bitcoin.
t is also an asset because you can sell your bitcoin and convert it to USD (or any other currency) whenever you like.

[unknown-user]

Bitcoin is technically a currency since it belongs to the group of cryptocurrencies which is a type of digital currency. If it is legal to your country as a currency or you sre able to use it on your daily living,you are free to use it as a currency but if not, it will just be a form of investment or asset because the market value is continuously growing as years are passing by. So in general,Bitcoin is an asset in a form of a currency.

bitcoin is the currency used as a transaction, and through a very drastic development that many are glimpsed and sought by some quarters, and that is the reason why bitcoin is traded, both are not wrong, let's think that why there should be a claim against bitcoin being sold, transact using bitcoin and now a bit bitcoin has it, this is a chance of profit, and who does not want to make a profit? therefore we are not wrong to consider bitcoin is the currency and we are not wrong why now many bicoin fans.

Regarding bitcoin as an asset or investment is a matter of perspective. But the most over all use of the Bitcoin has been for exchange in purchasing your altcoins or fiàts. A few a hodling as an asset to when the value appreciates and then later sell off to make good profits. What we can do in what respect? Well, it is good to have the Bitcoin help keep the market busy.

Obviously, because bitcoin has become a reference for all new and old coin so it is clear that bitcoin is very valuable and very profitable for those who dabble with it.
it has been proved much that bitcoin is helpful for those who appreciate it.

[Birin016]

Well, I think it will depend how you use it. As of now you simply say that bitcoin is a currency because you exchange it in valuable things. In addition to that, you can also use it as asset but I prefer to use it as investment.For years people have been debating on what Bitcoin should be classified as, but the main point of importance is indeed how you use it, so from there it doesn't really make sense to put Bitcoin into this or that category.

[rehydrogenated]

From a government's perspective it is an asset. However bitcoin is also the best "currency" that has ever existed. A long time ago people choose gold as a currency because of its many admirable properties. Bitcoin has many of the properties but also costs almost nothing to store or transfer. Gold is very expensive to store, protect and transfer. However, bitcoin requires some electronics.

Governments consider bitcoin an asset for tax purposes. It also is impossible for governments to classify bitcoin as a currency because that opens a whole can of worms. Now is every piece of blockchain technology a currency?

[EnricoGomez]

Bitcoin can be both an asset and a currency.
It was first introduced to be a digital currency that easily moved money from a place to another without a third party and now it can be used as an asset or investment by just holding it off to sell at a higher price or thru trading.
