How can you say that bitcoin failed as a currency, it can still be used as a digital currency which can be used to deliver products and services in exchange of bitcoins, for transferring money to foreign country it requires more transaction charges whereas if you transfer fund through bitcoins there is no problem as there is only low transaction charges for bitcoins to transfer all over the world. Bitcoins can be considered as a digital currency as well as investment asset. Bitcoins will be in the mainstream of all financial markets within the next ten years time.

Bitcoin was supposed to be used as a currency, not only a form of investment. However, it's been more successful as a form of investment, a "speculative asset".
Do you guys think that this can change in the long term ?
That is a serious issue that most of the current investors ignore because of the huge returns they make with investments. I think that for bitcoins to survive, focus should be on using it as payment medium.

It will change when the number of people start using it increase. Still many laymen font have a clue about crypto and the ignorant ones start calling it a ponzi scheme. Currently it's more of an asset as it helps to earn money in the long run rather than quickly. If huge vendors like Amazon start accepytkng btc it will be a huge boost to btc s goodwill.

whatever I think can change with the progress of the times, because the more the times are always changing and erratic, the development can not easily we just know, so we have to wait with these developments.

It's not that Bitcoin failed as a currency, it's more that bitcoin is a huge success as an asset. To make it as a successful currency takes time and bitcoin only exists just a few years now. Once transactions get faster and free, it will be used as a currency much more than it is now.

I don't see it that bitcoin failed as currency. We all know that some features of currency is a form of investment also. Even in fiat, some people invested in real fiat to get a profit. It just somehow that digital cryptocurrency has a higher chance to make you more profitable than investing in fiat. Actually, some assets of crypto has became successful and some of them now are used as an payment in other country such as out country which is Philippines.

If you are a person who adopted changes like a natural day to day living then living with Bitcoin and as your currency then you can't say it is a failure, and not only investment, when people use it to pay it is currency but if you focus on earning then it will become just an investment. Either, what you do anything you use to pay is a currency by the way.

I don't think so, Its hard to tell wheather the bitcoin will change in the near future. Its because bitcoin price is not stable and it is hard to predict. Somehow,I do not think that bitcoin became failed because bitcoin is little by little spreading in many countries.

This not true for most of the cases that bitcoin is being used. It's true that a lot of users here only see bitcoin as a chance to earn some money by making a correct and well-timed investment, but in my case, I personally used bitcoin on paying my online transactions although I do know how and when to properly use it given the circumstances of bitcoin and the market.

it is necessary regulation from the government to use it legally, if used as currency is not possible because it will drop the fiat currency

Bitcoin has not yet matured enough to become a currency. If the technology continues to improve, it will be used for payment

It's too early to say that bitcoin has failed as money. Recently, it is really less used as a means of payment, but this is due to its accumulated and long-outstanding deficiencies, namely the suspension of transactions and the high cost of commission fees. However, after the release of a new version of Bitcoin on February 26 with the full support of SegWit, the situation has improved significantly and now there are practically no complaints about it. In addition, since September, it is also planned to introduce a network of lightning, which can also significantly improve the situation in this regard. So let's hope that the situation with the use of bitcoin as a currency will change and soon we will be able to use it to make everyday purchases.

What makes you think that bitcoin has failed as a currency? Bitcoin is still in its early stages and has very much development left to do. Do you know how long it took the Internet to become ready to be used as it is currently being used. Disruptive technologies like Bitcoin doesn't get created in a few years but it takes decades for them to become ready.

not according to me, this depends on the perspective of one's judgment. moreover bitcoin has evolved to be part of the asset. as you say. although basically bitcoin was created to be a virtual currency. but every development can change over time and evolve according to the times

As we can see bitcoin became better through being a store of value and speculative asset but it's usage as a currency wasn't withdrawn. I as a bitcoin holder I'm still using it to purchase something that accepts bitcoin in payment. Do you guys think that this can change in the long term ?
Base on the example that it went through before this can change in the long term and there are still more to come.

Rent this sig space so that BTC goes to $100k.

The fluctuation of Bitcoin make it not suitable yet as currency, the speed also not fast enough to be used in stores, but it can change in the future when BTC mass adopted the fluctuation won't be too high, and now developers are working on the transaction speed, when all the developments are complete then BTC will be suitable as currency

Right now BTC enthusiasts don't use it for payments. It is one of the most important problems. Everybody wants to buy, hold and wait for better BTC price. Something must be changed!
