Should Bitcoin be an investment or store of value?

[Fenix]

Bitcoin will become the main currency on the Internet in the future, like the dollar currency in the ordinary world and I think that in 10 years it will be all over the world

This is a statement without any arguments or grounds. Even on this forum, the majority say that they have never used bitcoin as a currency, that is, as a means of payment. But first of all, it was for this that Bitcoin was created by Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin is now used primarily as a vehicle for investment and storage of value. Yes, it has a great price now, but this value for a cryptocurrency is not very constant. So far, bitcoin does not fulfill its main purpose - to be an alternative means of payment for the currently existing payment system. Bitcoin, of course, will never fully replace the dollar or any other state currency.

Well, in my opinion, the reason why people keep on talking these two important features of bitcoin is because maybe we wanted to be sure that Bitcoin really lives up to whatever we wanted it to be.

Bitcoin can be a good investment and can be a store of value, notwithstanding its volatility. Well, in my opinion, the reason why people keep on talking these two important features of bitcoin is because maybe we wanted to be sure that Bitcoin really lives up to whatever we wanted it to be. With the vision of Satoshi Nakamoto, we have to remember that there is nothing in this world that will really stick strictly

Any fiat currency simultaneously performs all functions, including as a means of accumulating value. But in bitcoin, this function is certainly the main one. And so much so that it is almost never used as a means of payment. Yes, this situation is likely to continue in the next few years. This is not very good for cryptocurrency, because bitcoin does not fulfill its main purpose yet. For now, bitcoin maintains the overall rate of high price growth, but this will not always be the case, and then the situation will change. In the meantime, the function of a means of payment is more performed by some altcoins.

I think bitcoin nad altcoins are just investment, not store value.
I personally have invested in bitcoin and altcoins since 2014 and got many profits from those.
I think bitcoin and altcoin are really good for investment.
Those are digital asset that suitable for long term investment.

If people use bitcoin as their store value like a bank then chances they will lose their money because once bitcoin dump the price, people will start to panic, they will withdraw their bitcoin at lose..

I recently saw the cited data that over the past year, 2021, the price of bitcoin has increased by only 61 percent. At the same time, for example, ethereum has increased in price by more than five times. The price of bitcoin is already quite high now and it is hardly to be expected that it will continue to grow many times as before. But as long as people expect its price to rise further, until then, bitcoin will be used primarily as a store of value, and not as a means of payment.

I certainly agree that Bitcoin is getting less risky in spite of its relative volatility. I still consider it more of an investment and less a store of value since it is still considered a high-risk asset among investments in general.

Me too, I also think bitcoin is an investment, not store of value.
By seeing bitcoin has high risk, although less risky but we all know bitcoin and altcoin are very volatile, really difficult to predict bitcoin and altcoin price accurately.
I always think crypto is asset and good for future investment.
Maybe seeveral investor think bitcoin is store of value,but not for me.

Bitcoin being store of value or investment is depending on your point of view.
If we talk about risk, bitcoin is high risky.
But If we talking about value, bitcoin will be more valuable at the  coming future.

The most important thing for me is that we can take advantage of Bitcoin at any time, want to hold it in the long term or in the short term I think it's the same.  Because we can see Bitcoin price movements up and down quickly, if we are good at taking advantage of this then it will be very good.

Hold for long or short term, it depends on teh Market conditions and your capital.
If the market is struggling, I think hold is better to do.
We know It's bearish season, I think hold for long term investment is good way to keep your assets
talking about capital, if you have free money you can hold for long because you didn't needs to fulfill your needs.
Maybe you have other income in your real life.

Bitcoin is used both as an investment and payment tool although not all countries are allowed it nowadays. There is no problem using Bitcoin for our investment, it doesn't deviate from Satoshi's goal. Even Satoshi wants Bitcoin to be a payment tool or electric cash, having it as an investment won't bring any negative impacts. People can start to use Bitcoin from investment, then they can use it for payment tools once it is legal in their countries.

I used Bitcoin for investment, I think it is also a kind of store of value. There is no problem with both these functions, most people also use both investment and store of value. We must take advantage of Bitcoin as much possible as we can. Satoshi must have no problem with people taking advantage of the two things.
