After reading a lot of posts made by people on this forum, I realized about 75% of them see Bitcoin as a digital Gold. For me, I don't think Bitcoin is a digital gold. Cryptocurrency or Bitcoin to be precise, was developed to be a safer option for transaction of goods and services and also the best mode of payment. Bitcoin was introduced to disable all the restrictions that banks and the financial system presented. A lot of people have lost huge sums of money because they saw bitcoin as a digital gold. I know others will argue that bitcoin has also made people rich but for me, I don't think it is advisable to consider Bitcoin as a digital gold. Bitcoin is a digital currency.
Bitcoin absolutely is a digital currency, but calling it digital gold won't be wrong on certain grounds. Because gold is an asset and bitcoin is also our virtual asset. It is a source of lucrative investment. But of course there is more stability in price of gold as and when compared to  bitcoin. There are fluctuations but not to that extent as in the cryptocurrency market. Anyways this digital market is now much more trending and has left behind any other source of investment.
