The important thing is that you understand that Bitcoin is not an asset to speculate on but a means of peer to peer payment.
I don't see anything wrong to treat Bitcoin as an asset because most of countries in this world doesn't accept Bitcoin as a currency, if you live in such countries and use Bitcoin as a currency, you're either can't buy anything with Bitcoin or someone report you to the police.
Either you're using Bitcoin as an asset or as a payment, you're part of Bitcoin adoption.
Hi Helena, first of all congrats on the cake contest...great job, hope it was good too. As far as Bitcoin is concerned, it is partly true but if everyone held their own coins, adoption would never come, instead we need to encourage them to spend their Satoshis if we aim for a better and free world.
