completely agree with the sentiment that bitcoin is no longer a currency and is now considered an asset.
a currency should in theory not have major swings to its value and be relatively cheap to transact with, bitcoin no longer meets this criteria.
Every coin has major swings to its value. Because this whole market is still in development and on the rise and the coins have not yet reached its true price. It will not reach its true price untill its been adopted/implemented worldwide with all the trust and support it can get. That is the reason why we can buy-in cheap as long as it still has a little higher risk-factor to it than fiat currencies.
