Title: Is BTC really a currency?
Post by: ambar33n on July 09, 2018, 01:46:46 PM
Compared with regular money, backed by governments and issued as legal tender when needed, bitcoin is not under any central authority and its supply has a fixed, mathematical ceiling.

It is designed to be a currency though it hasn't been globally accepted. It is still very young and we hope to see it globally used as a currency. However, some believe it is worth more an asset than a currency.

In my opinion BTC is crypto currency, It is nor real money. Bitcoun is digital money and payment system.

I don't know if it's a currency if people uses it, I believe it is an asset. A great asset may I add. That's the best thing about digital currency, you don't need a bank to control your money, there's drawback of course but come on, the generation now is progressing, there's a huge possibility that crypto like btc and any other altcoin will be the future currency.

According to the current general ideas about currency, bitcoin to it can not apply, since it does not have for this many signs that the currency should possess. Another centralized national currency can be recognized as currency, however bitcoin and other decentralized crypto currency are unlikely. Most likely, the most appropriate definition for it, which will stop states when legalizing, is a digital asset.

It can't really be used as a currency because the price is too volatile.  I can't see retailers tolerating that for very long, since they're pretty much going to have to adjust their prices constantly.

Bitcoin is the hot new trend on many news feeds these days. After a stunning rise in its value this year, the cryptocurrency has garnered attention from nearly every sector. New crypto hedge funds are popping up, with powerhouse firms like Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, Sequoia Capital giving backing.

Substantial names in financial advising and research are also backing Bitcoin.

BUT you know some have made it their currency? NOT BTC, but a cryptocurrency, like Marshall Islands.
maybe there is something more from this to offer than we know yet.. what say!?

Real Estate can already be bought throught BTC, and who knows soon enough shopping bills could be paid through this..

omg tell me more about Japan and Korea, can anything be bought from this, and transactions would be way easier and everyone must know about already, like I said earlier in another thread that it is very important for our youth to know about it and learn more at that age.

It was designed as a digital currency for P2P payment system without the use of middleman or the banks and it's decentralize with no central authority. Due to being a decentralize people are holding their bitcoin in hopes that the price of bitcoin will skyrocket in the future due to limited supply. Although bitcoin has not reach it's adoption of being a currency but you can find some establishment that will accept bitcoin as payment.

We can consider bitcoin as currency even this is not consider until now as legal globally but atleast we can see that some countries are switching their support to bitcoin and declared it as legal. Also some businesses are already accepting bitcoin as well as a payment.

Bitcoin is a digital currency with features of its own quite different from features of the local fiat yet both the fiat and Bitcoin serve the purpose of medium of payment of goods and services. Bitcoin serves the purpose of payment online using the internet and there are quite a good number of shops that accept Bitcoin as form of payment, hence Bitcoin is really a currency.

BTC is indeed the world's currency, because BTC prices are stable, if the price will go back up and prices will be stable, from the first I prefer BTC for profit.

If it is used as a means of payment, it will be no different from a normal fiat curency. So it wouldn't be wrong to think of it as a currency, of course we can use it just like a gold for investment purposes. But some people can also use the dollar for investment purposes.

Kalau di kata kan mata uang, iya memang mata uang tapi tidak berwujud seperti halnya rupiah , BTC itu seperti halnya kemajuan tegnologi saat ini, yang segalanya serba canggih, orang berinovasi membuat mata uang digital, yang tak berwujud, tetapi bisa di gunakan untuk berinvestasi, dan yang pasti akan banyak yang menggunakan nya di masa depan nanti.

Bitcoin is a digital currency and not fiat currency. It is highly decentralized and not under any government control but only affected by the market sentiments. Bitcoin is not in the good books of some governments and are looking for a way to regulate and sometime even discredit bitcoin.

The concept of bitcoin is itself non-traditional. So comparing the characteristic of bitcoin with traditional currencies, will not fetch any meaningful conclusion. The way every business needs to be upgraded after a certain time period, the current economic system also needs an overhaul. For enough long time, the current economic system is expanding its roots to our society but very recently we have started seeing that the roots have started perishing, so it go through an overhaul in recent future. Then probably the definition of the currency will be re-written and then crypto/bitcoin as a currency will start making sense.

It was created to be a currency but without been centralised like the fiat and that is the main feature of Btc and why many of us think it is a revolution. For now, it is struggling to live as a currency because of many factors which include its volatility. Nevertheless it is still used as a medium of exchange most especially for online shopping.
