LIKE IT OR NOT, BITCOIN IS AN INVESTMENT

[delphic]

Bitcoin is definitely an investment.And I think quite long-term.I tried to trade it on short terms and realized that it was not mine.On long distances better.A good profit from it can be removed in 10 years, if everything goes according to plan.While you're waiting.This is definitely an economic investment.

[agor]

You can invest in the sand if it brings profit. BTC fit's as well.

Bitcoin failure to expand and usable as a currency is the main reason many say Bitcoin is useless and they have true facts because in order for Bitcoin  to become the global currency in the world it should be used by majority of people not just for buying and selling but to use it has a means of payment for essential occasions  and it should be accessible to everyone though many sources and I mean not only from exchanges but from common places which might take several years to happen but it should happen in a higher rate and also for that to succeed Bitcoin price should become stable more than today

[Crungcrungtin]

yes, i considered it a bitcoin as a investment.
 
you cannot earn without invest i think..

[Monyong]

Not a few people who already feel the benefits of investing in bitcoin but to predict whether bitcoin investment will always provide that's advantage, is very much needed expertise to trade in the crypto market

[131tc01n]

we can interpret bitcoin all, yes everything is either an investment, a payment instrument or as a trade. if you are trading bitcoin now means you are already king, you have full rights to your bitcoin, whether you use it as an investment or a payment instrument. This is the specialty of bitcoin

Absouletely Bitcoin is an Investment  where we put some money and expect the benefit from it. Bitcoin is obviously a market to invest because of its popularity,availability and scalability etc..

                              In an economic sense,
 An INVESTMENT is the purchase of goods that are not consumed today but are used in the future to create wealth.
                                        In finance
An INVESTMENT is a monetary asset purchased with the idea that the asset will provide income in the future or will later be sold at a higher price for a profit.

I really don't want to turn these into an economics class but the both definition of what investments are clearly should settle the argument of whether BTC is truly an investment or not.

Some people do believe that bitcoin is not an investment, when its obviously is. We can invest in bitcoin and earn a huge profit it depends on us if what kind of investment were going to do. Its either short term or long term investment. Bitcoin can give a lot of benefits and sweet achievements but it can also help to lose some money, just be wise.

[G-richy]

An investment is the placement of capital in expectation of deriving income or profit from its use or appreciation.
 Investment is said to be positive when you make profit ,bitcoin has all the quality comprises of an investment,so when you strategies properly you are good to go just be patient.

Most of investors now using bitcoin as a investment because everyone want profit but now bitcoin price is fluctuating and no one know what will happen in upcoming months. i think less peoples spending bitcoin for good & services like other fiat currencies. if we will use bitcoin for our daily requirements than its future will be bright, bitcoin is working with world's best secure technology its call blockchain only bitcoin adaption by governments and peoples can make it success. and this is possible if more people know about it and use it for their basic needs.

[Wittycoin]

Yes,Bitcoin is more like investment than money, it is because people are using bitcoin only to be able to gain profit and not as a currency.

Now you only have to invest in bitcoin to minimize risk and make the safest profits, we can see that the price of altcoin has fluctuated sharply over the past few months.

[gaurav82]

I think bitcoin started as type of payment which is use online in whole world. But by seeing its growth it has turn to type of investment. Now it is now acceptable everywhere. So at present we can say that it is a investment. I may wrong on this topic.

[Jhonthor]

bitcoin is unequivocally and accurately an investment with a very high yield

In my opinion, since seen from 2013 the price is different from before, and 2017 is the year when bitcoin reaches its highest point, we wait, whenever the price will rise again. Because Bitcoin can be said to invest in the long run

[Le Anh]

Bitcoin is an investment, for now. Although a lot of merchants have already started accepting bitcoin as payment. It may take a few more years before it becomes mainstream, meaning a currency, a digital currency.

[amobi]

truly, bitcoin is seen as an investment for many, but this shouldn't be the key feature why people should get into using btc, it has various lots of usages, having the impression of it as just an investment creates the heart break when its price goes down

I believe that at this time you should only invest in bitcoin in order to minimize the risk and make the profit the safest, you can see that the market is constantly fluctuating and difficult to guess so you Only bitcoin trading, we can see that altcoin prices have been fluctuating sharply over the last few months and I think altcoin will die in 2018.

I don't that alt coin will be die because of ICO's, they create new coin almost every week that's why it is too hard to get a good coin because too many coin but the demand was still slowly increasing and that is what I see now, the many token we have but the lower number that it take.

Yes, I think it is asset but there's investment involved because you can loose and gain money from this using putting from it and for now, we see that it is full of investment and we cannot see the asset of this coin.

If we make a definition in the materials you give. Bitcoin also fits in the financial sense. Economically it adapts to investment.
In short, BitCoin is an investment and it is necessary to aim at winning in every sense.

I cannot really argue with you on this. Almost everyone in Bitcoin came into it because they saw it as a form of investment and an avenue to make quick money.

then US dollar is also an investment.

i'll tell you why. where i live the value of local currency is dropping so there are many who are now buying USD to stay ahead of the inflation that is going on. in fact they are investing in USD. and what they are doing matches the description you posted here, they will sell it in the future to get a huge profit.

but it doesn't make USD an investment. US dollar is still a currency no matter what you do with it.
the same thing is true about bitcoin. bitcoin is a currency by nature even if majority are using it as an investment.

But unfortunately because in fact many people do this, yes, hoarding dollars. I don't think we can limit a currency whether it can be an investment tool or not, as long as the price of the item fluctuates or at least not just follows the inflation rate, then the item can be classified to have potential become an investment.
