Usability wise, bitcoin could make a great hedging asset. It definitely has the characteristics of a good hedging asset. The only issue that it has for now is the volatility. An asset that can rise/drop by 10% or more a day is definitely not good for a hedge; it would be counter intuitive. Hopefully as more of the masses get a hold of bitcoin though, that the volatility will decrease significantly. For now, gold wins the "hedge" category.

It is definitely a good hedge against the dollar. But one problem with that is how volitile bitcoin is. Often people want something more stable as a hedge.

Yeah that's the only thing holding it back from being a full-out hedge. But it's certainly taking away some of the attention from gold. With all this heat about a trade war, you'd think that gold would be soaring. But it's been dragging it's heels down bit by bit. Meanwhile, bitcoin is breaking out of its yearlong downtrend and starting to look like it wants to make its way back up.

I think in becoming a hedge, it's also serving to provide individuals with currency devaluation protection. Most Asian countries are devaluing their currency in response to threats of trade war, and normal people like you and I want to protect ourselves. Naturally, we use bitcoin to do so.

Bitcoin still has a bit of relatively high inflation to burn through... After the next halving occurs however inflation will finally drop to a low percentage.

So I think bitcoin will be a good hedge against the dollar in about 2 years.

Syscoin has the best of Bitcoin and Ethereum in one place, it's merge mined with Bitcoin so it is plugged into Bitcoin's ecosystem and takes full advantage of it's POW while rewarding Bitcoin miners with Syscoin

Yes, with the development of the encrypted community, BTC may become a new asset for hedging. We see a very rapid expansion of the market value of bitcoin in the last two years, and we have reason to believe that bitcoin will be configured by more professional investors in the next few years.

It needs to stabilize first before it can become a market hedge.

Yes, Bitcoin can be a good asset right now, which has a good value-protected asset. But keep in mind the daily increase and decrease in investment value can fluctuate very quickly is not good for a fence you mean to protect value, investments like gold and other securities still hold the category.

I use Bitcoin as a hedge to go along with my Fiat cash, precious metals and stocks.  Usually when I'm taking a beating in one of them another one of them bails me out.  Its been working for a few years now.

If a Bitcoin ETF will be approved by the SEC then i could see the possibility that investors, asset managers and fund managers will use it as hedge product.
A Bitcoin ETF will also serve as an interesting new asset category for Fund managers, in current state the risks are to big for those parties but a regulated
Exchange listed asset will set the door wide open to a whole new group of investors. I hope it gets approved, VanEck en SolidX will develop and market the
new Bitcoin ETF as it seems.

Bitcoin could have become the market hedge already hadn't it been so volatile in nature. Practically, stable products/services that directs the market are called market hedge. Hopefully, if SEC sanctions Bitcoin ETF, then BTC will reach a stable state and then there will be chance for it to become the market hedge.

 These is either a good news for Bitcoin to be consider fro possible Market Hedge, one should  note the possible good market potential that could bring as to add the stability and dominance on the market by Bitcoin, it will bring more new potential investors into the market, and will never know what will be the effect on the price value of Bitcoin in the market.

There is long way to go for Bitcoin before it becomes market hedge. Though it already indicates and dictates other Altcoins' growth sometimes, but, in reality to become a market hedge BTC needs to become stable. The current volatile situation and regular fluctuations within few hours are the reasons what is stopping it from becoming market hedge.

I think that bitcoin can not become a barrier, you can see that the market is constantly fluctuating and very difficult to predict, with very small capitalization, bitcoin can not affect the world economy. Not only that, bitcoin can also be a very good means of transformation for us. Therefore, I believe that bitcoin will promote the development of society.

For hedging, BTC can be suitable as it has an ever-rising intention in the price market. Hedging will be more interestingly implemented in BTC if ETH approval is succeeded. On the other hand, hedging may not be possible with BTC as it is a volatile coin as every crypto coin is. Thus, it is not gold.

Bitcoin is definitely a good hedge against dollar but the problem is volatility of bitcoin. As a hedge obviously people want something more stable.

Yeah bitcoin has the characteristics of a good hedging asset. But the only issue is its volatility. If an asset rise or drop several times a day definitely it is not good for a hedge.

What are the arguments supporting the view that BTC value will rise again? It's investing... How sure can we actually be?

To become the hedge of the market at first bitcoin needs to be stable. Only then there is more possibility for bitcoin to become a good hedging asset.
