I hear from many sources that btc is used for trading much more than it is for goods and services; doesn't that make it an asset ??
and is that necessarily a bad thing ?? and what can we do about it as a community ??
Actually bitcoin can also be considered an asset because we just buy some coin And wait a few months to in exchange when the price has increased.That's where the greatest opportunity for you to gain a profit.
It is depends on the method you are using Bitcoin. Example you are holding Bitcoin for long term or until the price of Bitcoin reaches your target, you are using Bitcoin as an asset because Gold is also an asset for this form. But if you only using Bitcoin to transfer money easily, you are using it as a currency.
