Not, bitcoin is not an investment but bitcoin is one way how to increase our money by investment way, different way of investment kind like we make investment on property and we know how much profit we can take after one month or one years, but by investment on bitcoin we don’t know how much we can reached just one day or one year.

Many of people think that bitcoin is an asset and believe that it is an investment when you buy bitcoin, but the fact that bitcoin has been made to become a currency with a easier, and saver way to send it with a lower cost. Even when you send it around the world. You can imagine how cool bitcoin is.

Bitcoin is really dynamic in its nature. It becomes a currency when a holder uses it for the purchase of goods and services whereas it becomes an investment when a user decides to buy at low price and hold till the price goes up.

I can not agree with you, because Bitcoin is an investment. You can see that the spend are profitable and that those who own it make a profit as it goes up. So, why continue to say that you should not call it an investment?

Right now, I can't find anyone who is using Bitcoin as a payment medium. That usage came to an abrupt end in December 2017, when the miners forced us to pay anywhere from $20 to $40 for making a single transaction. Now the fee is low, but not many are interested in making the payments.

Actually, you can find a lot of people using Bitcoin as a payment alternative. You just need to look outside the forum. The period when we had to pay a huge fee to send a transaction during the previous winter didn't stay long. I mean how many time, 2 months? Bitcoin exists for a decade.

Bitcoin is the crypto currency which can be used by different people for different purpose and if you are a business minded person then you can avail the investment benefit from bitcoin as well so investment can also be mad in bitcoin.

Business minded persons invest in companies related to cryptocurrency, not in cryptocurrency itself. During the gold rush, the people who did the most profits were the one investing/selling/providing product related to gold (pickaxe and wagon,...), not the one mining gold

I think the trading part is the investment, because we treat crypto like a stock.
We just put our savings/ money into something so in basic it is investment, no matter what you buy but you make a transaction in my opinion.

Sorry, Bitcoin is becoming investment already and every new people are joining in the cryptocurrency and they investing money as an investment. So, you can't change them now. Day by day, FUDD, Panic people will increase in the crypto field. We have to be ready to control them.
I agree with you because the popularity of Bitcoin is incredible. Every day more and more people decide to invest in it.

Yes of course! We can stop calling Bitcoin an investment if we want. But unfortunately, we cannot stop the majority from seeing it as one. Since the 2nd half of 2017, Bitcoin has been treated or considered as an investment and/or an asset by many rather than a form of payment because of the crazy price increase. And since that time many of us are now expectant that the same will happen for 2018. It may be frustrating for some who does not consider Bitcoin as an investment, but things change, perceptions change, everything changes. So if the majority sees or treats Bitcoin as an investment, then we have to accept the fact that Bitcoin has become one.

I think it is depend on what you call it but for me as long as it involve my personal money and i can profit or lost it then it is an investment, it is not a simple sending and receiving transactions now because people are consider it and investment and they know that they maybe become rich if they put their money on it.

I believe most people see bitcoin as a great investment asset, most crypto enthusiasts feel in love with bitcoin because of the great prospects as an investment asset. The little investment a person puts in bitcoin today, can really propel the person to earn much more from his/her investment.

People bitcoin treated as investment because holding in long terms are gives better profits earning like a gold holding for the long time or year the value increase same with the bitcoin but need to monitor because sometimes the value is in the dip.
You can't stop people calling bitcoin as investment because have a freedom what they want to call bitcoin as they knows.

Why should i stop called investment in bitcoin if that is my definetion, because for me it is more asset than a currency. Many people want to buy to make their life better in the future.

For me, i prefer bitcoin as an investment because it is likely a gold and silver. It is high value in our market and a chance to makes my life brighter. Althrough some companies accept it as a payment system but it is not already globalize.

The limited supply and the increasing difficulty to mine have lead the thought of bitcoin can be an investment. No doubt that it was invented to be a currency that solves double spending problem.  But still, buying a currency can still be a form of investment. E.g. have you ever invested in foreign currency?

Because of the the perception that  it is a cyber assets and expected to increase the  value over time that is why many people buy bitcoin as an investment that is become  an asset in nature.

Investment and asset is not the same, they are different with each other. Bitcoin is an investment since we will be holding it and just sell it in the market when the price goes up.

It can be called asset if you want but we don't really own Bitcoin, the term is not "own" but it is shared. If we have a Bitcoin, we are sharing the part of Bitcoin's supply that we own accessing it through our Bitcoin wallet.
