Open thread: What is your type of perception about bitcoin; do you consider it as a currency or as an investment asset or both?
It has both characteristics. As a store of value, it is the best there is, and it also has properties as a medium of exchange. The problem is that it is too valuable to be widely used, and there are also scalability issues that prevent it from becoming so. Besides, there are too many alternatives for day-to-day payments. So I see it more as a store of value (investment) than as a medium of exchange (currency).
