If not a "store of value" or "medium of exchange" ...

[ice098]

Bitcoin is an asset that can also be compared to our currency, the only differences of it  are the value of of the coin, it has a huge value than the currencies in the market as well as the other coins in the trading market, it is also a virtual currency it doesn't have a paper wallet but still it has a great value . it is a better investment too, but for me, a kind of long term investment since each year the value of it differs.

Bitcoin is dynamic and based on the user’s needs will determine the function or definition of Bitcoin. Bitcoin can be considered as an investment hence an individual may purchase BTC, hold patiently for some period of time for the price to rise and sell to make profit. In the view of this, Bitcoin is considered as a store of value. Others may consider it as a medium of exchange when the individual use BTC to purchase goods and services online.

I believe you are separating the inseparable. You can save Bitcoin, and you can spend Bitcoin. It's the same as any other forms of "money", we save it now, so we can spend it later.

Bitcoin is made to be a currency said by the team who developed it but users have found different uses of bitcoin, from a store of value, investment, ways to earn thousands in just a day and more. Bitcoin really is flexible and have a general-purpose in our life, we just need to utilize one at a time depending on our needs.

I m here ONLY for that real Bitcoin.

If it is clean and simple as a Singularity must be, its use and value is infinite.

Learn

Hahaha. From you?

Learn, and research what? That Bitcoin Cash SV is the "real Bitcoin"? That Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto?

if you had done your research you'd know that craig wright has handwritten, coffee stained originals of the whitepaper. rusty staples and all. this irrefutable evidence will be coming out in court!

Can't wait to see the Bitcoin whitepaper draft written in a couple coffee stained pieces of paper from 10 years ago. What a joke, Craig Wright is just scrambling to delay the inevitable now and it's getting sad to watch.

As for this thread, it's answered its own question - it was created to decentralize our money and make sure people are able to use money without the government's prying eyes.

But whether you deny it or not, seeing bitcoin or any cryptocurrency as a form of investment never gone in your list . Let's be honest, most of us (and I'm not hypocrite to deny it) see it as an opportunity where you can earn money. Anonymity? Fast? That is not the most liked attribute of btc but the double V — Value and Volatility. If we able to attain a mass adoption then maybe that's the right time where we can more obviously feel the other features which btc can offer .

You can added list of payment can be use with bitcoin or altcoin, your store will be many costumer every day because they want to try how easy and funny payment using bitcoin or altcoin, talking about value accepted bitcoin can make you get much profit if you can control your bitcoin assets when have to sell and when have for holding.

I think it vaires on the user, some people are investing their money in bitcoin to be used as an investment tool and profit. The numbers who are using bitcoin as an investment tool is high since most people are not an expert in technology. Some invest in crypto for convenience, thus using them as a medium of exchange, and some are interested on it because of technology. So, I guess it can be any of it depending on the user.

I think it could be both, or it could be even none of those, depending on the person. You can treat it as a store of value, a medium of exchange, or both, or neither of the two because you treat it as a speculative investment. And that's the beauty of it. No one decides who will it be. It depends on the person.

I don't get why it could not be. I'm waiting for some evidence to support the claim that Bitcoin isn't a good store of value. The only way you can lose on Bitcoin is when you buy on top of one of the bubbles and then sell when it falls. If you buy and forget or buy and wait knowing it will bounce back you will make money.

Most stores of value don't gain value as fast as bitcoin. They hold it which is still better than fiat which loses it.

besides that bitcoin is also often called basically bitcoin is a virtual currency in the internet world for online transactions that do not facilitate shipping and do not use bank services, and bitcoin uses a peer to peer (P2P) system with such a system that it transacts easily and safely for other countries bitcoin users.

Bitcoin is the combination of them. It is a store of value. People invest in Bitcoin like they invest in e.g. gold. People use it as a medium of exchange. So, I think we don't need to search for just one meaning that explains Bitcoin thoroughly.

Yes, but for some people it there opportunity to invest at, they are using Bitcoin as a way to earn passive income especially those who are earning for short term. But, the true role and vision of crypto is to change the banking system and to make transactions faster and easier, without any hustle going to bank always.

bitcoin was created in 2008 when the world was experiencing a monetary crisis. and in my opinion the purpose of the creation of bitcoin is to overcome this economic crisis. but over time bitcoin has rapidly developed into an investment tool, a store of value and can also be used for payment tools. but not all countries allow payment instruments.

What dispute? That "a money" is a store of value, before it's a medium of exchange? That saving, and spending also inseparable?
