I've always seen bitcoin more as an investment that has properties of a currency, but I've never been a big fan of actually using it as money.
I think it is very honest and true statement I have seen from one of the senior most member of the forum. Otherwise people do not dare being so honest accepting this truth. And I think most of the people buy bitcoin with the intention of getting some profit when the price rise. There may be rare cases when investor buying it for using as currency.
I think that bitcoin is only digital money that everyone does not know except for certain people and many also agree if bitcoin is currency and not in my opinion
