To be honest, I can see it as both. It's an asset in a way, that's it's an investment and currency as seen in general, Crypto is Virtual currency. We believe a currency is something we can see, we can feel and we can touch. But yeah, this was a classical way we see it. Though, it depends on how we handle things but an asset if turned into something with value then for sure it will be a Currency once converted.
bitcoin is a type of cryptocurrency, and as the name suggests crypto
currency, which has the purpose of being an alternative substitute for the existing currency. however, because bitcoin is decentralized, and not controlled by anyone, its price is unstable, but tends to rise as adoption continues to grow. this, makes many investors interested in turning bitcoin into a digital asset. and in fact, nowadays, bitcoin is a huge success being an asset to its investors. because of this, I also agree, that the use of bitcoin can be used as an alternative currency, and also as an asset. however, I believe that bitcoin's main function was created as an alternative to payments on the internet.
