In an economic sense,
An INVESTMENT is the purchase of goods that are not consumed today but are used in the future to create wealth.
In finance
An INVESTMENT is a monetary asset purchased with the idea that the asset will provide income in the future or will later be sold at a higher price for a profit.

I really don't want to turn these into an economics class but the both definition of what investments are clearly should settle the argument of whether BTC is truly an investment or not.

Of course, no one denies if bitcoin is an investment, the question is whether bitcoin is a safe investment?
Because we often hear the news that many exchanges conceded hackers and became one of the reasons for the decline in bitcoin prices. Just like investing in other fields, bitcoin investment requires sufficient knowledge and experience because in the world of cryptocurrency the price may drop suddenly, we can get a big profit with the same amount of risk

Thanks for agreeing on these with me my friend, whether it is safe or not should be now be debated on, and as for exchanges, i guess this is why everyone is clamouring for regulations so that peoples money dont just go up in flames.
