Bitcoin has certain characteristics that are similar to typical commodities, such as gold. Bitcoin also meets some requirements of the standard definition of a currency. Some argue that bitcoin is a security, or an investment contract with implicit or explicit ownership terms.
What Type Of Asset Do You Think Bitcoin Is? Commodity, Currency, Security, Perfect hedge?
It's clear for us, who understand the technology and applications of it, that Bitcoin is a currency. However, for many investors in the world, Bitcoin is seen as a commodity.
For me, Bitcoin is much more than that, since a commodity, in general, doesn't give you the possibility of buying goods and services with it.
