Is bitcoin just for investors

[molsewid]

Bitcoin is for all. Not only for investors, for all the people worldwide that need the feature of bitcoin. We often see bitcoin is for the investor because bitcoin's price movement is convincing to investors. Most likely, the first you can encourage to use bitcoin is the investor because they know that they can earn from this bitcoin's price movement. But the reality, bitcoin, is for everyone. As long as you understand how it works, you can use it as a payment method, receiving payments to others, and many more.

Bitcoin is not just for investors alone. Some people choose bitcoin as  their investment, where they can buy coins and sell coins to make profit at the end of the transaction. While some choose bitcoin as a platform where they can have more knowledge to use to differentiate bitcoin with other cryptocurrencies and for them to be identify as a bitcoin users not for investment alone.
Some just choose bitcoin as a course to study, so that they can  impact all new users and,how to relate with bitcoin to get a good rank from the forum.

It can be used by investors, traders, merchants for their business, people for transferring money etc. So it shows us that it can be used by anyone and not just restricted to investors. But majorly people use it as a investment as it is one of the most profitable returns over the years and all have witnessed that 2017 bull run.

Bitcoin was for all means of purposes that a person may use wherever he/she wants. It may not solely used for trading or for investment but some of us here uses bitcoin as a mode of payment in their transaction via online. Well i guess the means of being convenient of bitcoin in payment system was best fit for all. Aside from it the mere fact that having a 1 bitcoin token if ever converted to fiat may valued much and can be used in such many transactions and can buy much goods than using a fiat.

So many people make this comment that bitcoin is for investors, but sometimes people use it in transactions, people actually prefer using bitcoin sometimes.And In a minute it will either ho higher or lower, And it a problem sometimes the money doesn’t belongs to you,but you just want the transaction to be easier, not everybody knows how to monitor market or trade. What is the answer on this. I really want to know if bitcoin is mainly for investors and other person that is using it just for that purpose if the losses if there own risk. Is bitcoin mainly for investors or for every one?

Bitcoin can be many things, and whichever use people find for it is fine. The most common uses nowadays are investment, trading, store of value (not to profit as much as to preserve the wealth one already has) and money. I'd love Bitcoin to be money more, but it's difficult to use it directly because almost nobody accepts it. BTC volatility, by the way, does not seem to be a big obstacle on its way to be recognized as money, I believe. At least, it's the case for now when the price can be fixed in fiat with a person paying with BTC according to the current exchange rate. The fees, however, are sometimes a significant problem. The most realistic solution would be to accept zero confirmation transactions (it was discussed here). So no, Bitcoin's not for investors only.

Bitcoin without doubt is for both(investment, trade, buy and sell online) and should be accord the respect. Bitcoin wasn't meant for investment only but both traders(cryptocurrencies) online merchants among others, though many had this same idea that Bitcoin is use for investment only but that's not true. For investment, this tool or currency is the best for anyone becasue it has the ability to make double gains from a single investment packages with good prospect.

[Wulan_maniez]

Bitcoin for anyone, not only for investors as an investment asset. Today bitcoin is not only a digital currency but can a means of payment just like conventional currencies. The difference is that Bitcoin has no physical form.
Even business people and ordinary people use bitcoin as an alternative option for online payments.

You can do whatever you want to your bitcoin for sure, you can use it in investment, trading, transactions, etc.

I think I can agree that bitcoin is mainly best when it comes to investment compared to other things that you could do in it, the volatility of bitcoin is I think a big factor that is why you could easily make a profit in the long or short term investment in bitcoin, also the demand and community in bitcoin is already solid so bitcoin is always going to have its value.

When it comes to transactions bitcoin is also useful since you could send currency anywhere but still needs a bit of improvement because we experience some issues when it comes to speeds etc. Bitcoin as a currency, for now, I don't think it's reliable compared to fiat money as the value is always going up and down, someone who accepts payment in bitcoin is taking a big risk in it. So I think bitcoin is the best for investment use.

Bitcoin has different purposes and it's just up to you on what reason you will be using bitcoin. It's just evident how a lot of people see bitcoin as one of the good ways of investing that's why you will see people making it as an investment. But it's not just limited to that because as what I have said, it has different purposes like you can also use it for daily transactions and such. And to answer your question, bitcoin is not just, particularly for investors. It's up to us on how we see bitcoin works the best.

Bitcoin is in the stage of active development, and although at the moment it is more intended only for a narrow circle of people familiar with this technology, but in the very near future the scope of its application will expand due to the fact that every month more and more new opportunities appear for its application.

Bitcoin is not only for investors instead it is for all who wants to have it for their own purpose either they will use it to trade, to invest, to pay bills or to buy things in a store that already accepted it as payment. Also investors has already a capital to buy bitcoin but on the other you can also own a bitcoin without buying it instead work hard to earn it.

Bitcoin is a multi-purpose asset. It can be used as required, and it doesn't have any limitations on usage. For users who want freedom of making transactions through banks can make use of it as a transaction medium. For users who want to make an earning out of bitcoin can prioritise it as an trading asset. One who expect long term or short term profit can hold it as an investment. So,it is upto the users and the way people use it.

[Simakura]

Of course not, you can also use bitcoin for digital payments and it can make it easier to send money to others. You can also trade bitcoin and many other functions.

[Oceat]

How can you say that it's just for investors only when some are using it to buy stuff online? Bitcoin has many possibilities to be use whatever you want, may it be for trading, holding, investment or buying stuffs online. There's a lot you can use of Bitcoin—it is more than that. Satoshi just made an innovation currency that no one could ever control and you can freely trade it anywhere online without the delay of what the centralized system does.

[wack slacker]

Bitcoin is not just for investors, but bitcoin is for everyone. I find bitcoin to be a fast and cost-effective international money transfer medium. Bitcoin is a store of value, people can own bitcoins or use them to pay for items in countries that accept them.
Currently, bitcoin is being accepted more and more around the world. Bitcoin is exchanged daily, so Bitcoin is not just for investors.

[Chrystora123]

right now I use Bitcoin as an investment only because I still can't shop with Bitcoin freely (there are still no stores that accept Bitcoin payments in my town)  Broadly speaking, you can take advantage of Bitcoin for anything from long/short term investments, trade, payments (some countries) and gambling..

[Ucy]

I guess your problem is the volatility? You want something "stable" for quick transactions and for holding Bitcoin short term, right?
Well, bitcoin is designed to increase/decrease in price, depending on demand and supply... If there is more demand for the coin than there is to sell , the price will  increase... If there is less demand for the coin but more supply(or more to sell), the price decreases. It increases more in price than it decreases though.   This is an important feature of Bitcoin that protects users (esp those using it as store of value) from inflation.   It could be made to fluctuate moderately though, for the sake of quick/short-term users and people like you.
Or you could just factor in the fluctuation in price and increase the amount of Bitcoin you wish to buy a little bit... This should compansate for the shortfall in your fund whenever there is decrease in price. If price goes up, you gain

Bitcoin whitepaper title:
Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.

according to the title. it's clear that bitcoin was born to be a digital currency. but, due to the scalability and volatility, some people just don't like to use it for payment, especially for microtransactions.

most people will suggest you hodl bitcoin.
only a few people will ask you to spend your bitcoin on something, to use your bitcoin for buying/selling goods/services.
so in this case, bitcoin is dominant for investors.

however, thanks to crypto gambling platforms, it pushed bitcoin adoption for payment.

[ChrisPop]

Well.. bitcoin is certainly not for investors. There are a lot of local businesses that accept bitcoin and some people actually prefer to pay with it even if it is just for the privacy feature.
Bitcoin is still in an early phase and does not YET benefit from massive institutional liquidity like commodities or forex pairs. This is why we see these sometimes violent price swings. Due to the scarcity of Bitcoins it is not likely that we'll see BTC at these prices when institutions will pour their money into the market.

Bitcoin is for everybody who is able to acknowledge it as a special type of currency ergo Cryptocurrency. Before you delve into Bitcoin, you can actually just know that you can gain money from it. Investing is not the first thing you can do to earn from Bitcoin. Its actually an advance step if you want to earn more from it and just by learning it and doing campaigns for Bitcoin and other Alternate Cryptocurrencies can gain you money.

Bitcoin is for everyone and it was created as a currency that gave complete freedom to people, however bitcoin is such a good currency that as of right now people have preferred to hold it or use it to accumulate more wealth, this is in fact nothing new, there is something called the Gresham's law, which basically states that “bad money drives out good money” what this means is that if there are two forms of money and one is considered to be more valuable then people by nature will keep that currency and spend the bad currency, which is precisely what we are seeing with bitcoin.
