Seems like most mainstream coverage about bitcoin is in the context of an investment instead of a currency.
I wonder if this is hurtful in the long run -- thinking about bitcoin as something to stock away for retirement rather than a useful tool in transactions. Great for prices in the short term I guess.
- kolev 13y agoIt is hurtful - they are now truly turning it into DotCom 2.0 - they way the media created a hype back then!
- if_by_whisky 13y agoAll currencies are also investments. Investments that have additional properties that make them useful as a medium for exchange. Like divisibility, portability, etc... Btc is so volatile that it probably is, for many, better as an investment for the time being. Once there's less risk and more confidence, we could see that change.
