Bitcoin can be an asset for now but bitcoin is a currency. Buying currencies for any other purpose than buying goods or services with them is speculating. Furthermore with Bitcoin, it's impossible to work out how to assign any value to them. You can get an idea of the real value to you of a physical currency by looking at what it can buy you with it in its country of origin (compared to what you can buy elsewhere with other currencies), interest rates in that country, inflation, and how rapidly the currency base is expanding compared to economic growth. With Bitcoin, how its value should be measured is anyone's guess.

   There are factors that give value to a currency and it is not measured by anyone`s guess, how
did you come up with that? Bitcoin can be a currency, but for now it is an asset with value that is
rising fast.
   Bitcoin can not be a currency as long as we need to wait a lot for confirming transactions and
with really high transaction fee`s, it is too expensive for me.
   I think DannaWonder that you wanted to say that Bitcoin can be an asset or currency. What is for
you or me is individual choice, for me is more an asset cause I am not spending it except when I am
investing bitcoins in alt-coins, or new projects.
