Anything that holds a value is an asset, is Bitcoin not holding a value? Bitcoin is naturally an asset. In case you don't know, an asset doesn't exclude currencies, they also hold value, and even some things that you do not know are assets could be because, at the end of the day, they can still hand the owners some cash. The only distinction with Bitcoin is that it's the pioneer of Crypto--Currency on the blockchain note. This has not changed and people seeing it as an asset and even using it as an asset are making it more valuable, so we should be happy for it.
