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 ??
The bitcoin can be asset and currency; it depends how you use the bitcoin for long investment or for earning fiat. If you use the bitcoin on the investment and you hold it as long, you have never convert it into fiat that is an asset. If you convert to fiat or even you use the bitcoin to paying your bills that is currency. Whatever happened bitcoin is both asset and currency.
