Bitcoin is being utilized as an asset for now though. Surely because of the volatility of its value that can double your invesrtment in a short span of time. The legalization in south korea is truly a good news and i hope other contries try to do the same.
bitcoin nowadays can also be used as a currency to buy or pay someone because transaction fees are also cheap due to the fact that bitcoins value is also low but of course bitcoins main usage is mainly for an asset purpose because of its high volatility although we cant expect to earn in just a short time , knowing that the price can only pump on the last quarter of every year .
Not only bitcoins but also other altcoins and tokens as well , both of these cryptos can also be used as an asset aside from being a currency medium .
