Yes, BITCOIN is an investment, and long-term.Well themselves will be honored by those who have enough nerves to hold it in the assets longer.It is not yet time to collect profits from it.This is a high-risk asset that will give a good plus after all the scrapes and shakes,when everything finally calms down and falls into place.
Well for me bitcoin is not just an investment but a speculative investment since the price of it is dependent on the law of demand and supply the core of it will be on our decisions. Some says its currency, yes sort of because we trade bitcoin for products and goods which will fall on a currency state.
