Bitcoin is an asset and like currency also.Bitcoin is an electronic financial mechanism providing features that resemble an established currency system with its own money creation and transaction regime but relies on a decentralized organizational structure. In contrast to the central banks discretionary decision making, money creation in the Bitcoin system is transparently realized by a distributed and open algorithm, facilitating the reliability of expectations about the future supply of money.
I am also hoping the same but nowadays seeing the price bitcoin we guys are worry about the fall first. We cannot take bitcoin is like a gold at any time right. If price is the matter for anyone who doesn't know about bitcoin they will sure go to bitcoin but people already be in bitcoin community they will worry about price.
Yes if you think the Bitcoin and gold both are same then you are wrong. Gold value is less to compare Bitcoin but it has more value in the international market, and it got huge investors all over the globe. Even Bitcoin also become popular in all over the world but people will not believe Bitcoin like gold because of huge price fluctuation.
