LIKE IT OR NOT, BITCOIN IS AN INVESTMENT

[BennyK]

I don't think anyone doubts the fact that Bitcoin is an investment. Bitcoin in its nature has wide range of usability. It functions as a currency when it is being used to patronize goods and services. However, the attention has shifted more to its investment because it has become one of the lucrative investments of our time.

Where I live, right in my country, there are many people who say that Bitcoin is a valuable asset.
It is worthy of being like a house, building or land that can increase its price at any time.

                              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.

I agree with what you said. But we are not sure of what can happen in the future if it will increase or fall. That is why there is a risk that we can deal with investing in bitcoin.

It is definitely an investment asset. Who is denying it? Even the vast majority of the world governments are also having the same opinion about Bitcoin. I would go one step further. I would say that Bitcoin is the best ever investment asset in the history of mankind. Is there any other asset which has given a 1 billion percent returnin 10 year time period?

For those not long ago being in the world of investment both locally and internationally, the term investing might be something foreign. But in general the definition of investment's the investment of assets or funds which are carried out by a company or individual for a certain period of time especially for the future. There are many things involved in this activity, and some are optimized for the number of funds, depending on the purpose of the investment itself. The circulation of bitcoin's very limited. For now, there are only around 21 million worldwide. With such restrictions, bitcoin prices will tend to continue to rise. Therefore it's not surprising that many people who use bitcoin to invest are like investing in gold.

I think bitcoin is an investment, because it promises big profits in the long term and in it contains a big risk of loss as well. Everyone has his opinion about bitcoin, but the reality is that bitcoin has been used as a long-term investment by some people because the value is quite high and can provide large profits in a certain period

Bitcoin can be an investment its either for short term or long term,i think its just depends on the holders or the owners of BTC when he or she will going to sell it for profit.

Very well explained Agreed, Bitcoin today became a form of investment rather than its purpose to be crypto currency and an alternative to paper money. But even Bitcoin became different from what it should be, It made those early investors of this crypto currency smiling like there is no tomorrow because of the huge amounts of profits that they gained from Bitcoin.

Indeed, at first BTC was created, as a means to correct deficiencies, which exist in conventional currencies. However because the amount's very limited which's only 21.000.000 pieces. Inevitably this thing makes the BTC value very speculative. Not a few investors and speculator who use it by how to invest, especially for those whose countries forbid bitcoin's to be used as a payment medium.

And when Bitcoin became a form or medium of investment it started to lure people and made the crypto currency community bigger than ever and this is the reality, majority or almost every people that invested in Bitcoin doesn't know the sole purpose of the project and didn't ever read its whitepaper or anything about this project and they are all fueled with their greedy hearts to earn a lot of profit on their investments on this crypto currency.

Only a small percentage of us who use really use bitcoin to buy goods. Most of us only want to trade it in exchange and withdraw profit in form of fiat. We should change this behaviour but no changes that is possible if there is still only few place that accept bitcoin.

[Kira_lapa]

Strategy for the lazy, or maybe vice versa - for the wisest. The simplest option and it is likely that the most highly profitable way of investing, with which everyone will cope. What is required: buy BTC at the lowest price you will find, and wait until the price goes up.

[KIROMATH]

Most like bitcoin as an investment even than a great digital currency and maybe some like bitcoin to be the way it is now with price variations because it is good for cryptocurrency traders but like that any cryptocurrency wont go a long path if they only stuck withing exchanges and wallets and I haven't come across many usable things that can do with bitcoin still except some online sites which is not the way it is suppose to be

It is because there are still a lot of online and offline retail businesses who have not started to accept bitcoin as a form of payment yet, so bitcoin users would have no choice but to exchange their bitcoin into fiat money first before paying for the goods and services they wanted to purchase, I would enjoy paying in bitcoin to exchange for the goods and services I need if the retailer are willing to accept it in the first place.

Because bitcoin was originally made for online currency then some people adopted it and saw its price grow very fast,
then some users use bitcoin to trade, and continue to investment, bitcoin has many beneficial functions dude.

[princeyeboah]

Bitcoin was created as a currency with the main intention to facilitate payments by offering fast transaction speed, good security, low transaction costs and owner control of transactions. As it emerged, users of Bitcoin realized the value added to Bitcoin on periodic basis. It became obvious that holders earn much profit from Bitcoin by just keeping them for a while and watch it grow in value. Now every Bitcoin user has gained an interest in holding.

[jhonvir666]

Well, bitcoin is considered to be all a living investment and based on everyone's plan their bitcoin is now being held first.
