Everybody is entitled to his own opinion. But let us not totally base our personal outlook on things from these tycoons. They are not masters of everything. Bitcoin is a digital currency, period! It is being used as payment for goods and services and is now a medium of exchange. Now isn’t that the definition of a currency?

I don't think that bitcoin was not a currency because if we consider the value or the real meaning of bitcoin that's was a crytocurrency and somebody was using bitcoin to transact like pay bills, shopping and so on so how we said that bitcoin is not currency? We called bitcoin as digital money or intangible currency so that if we said digital it is not using hard copy of money we using it thru computer or any device to use in any transaction.

in my opinion bitcoin is more as an asset to me rather than a currency as it has too high fees and transaction time, like gold which you can`t use for everyday payments.

Not that the IRS is any kind of authority on the subject as a whole, but they have declared cryptocurrency to be property, not a currency. Different countries have been treating it different ways.

Well, Mr. Buffett is a very man and you know how hard it is for the old people to appreciate changes. Old people don't accept changes and new things no matter how good they are because they are outdated. I see no reason for people to be even talking about the opinion of an old guy.

i agree with him, bitcoin is not good enough to be called a currency because bitcoin rightnow is still being used as an asset to trade, not a currency to be used in daily life due to high transactions fee that makes us dont want to use it in day to day life.

It's is the one that has been created for different cause, but in between due to the growth it attained got multiple usage. Among them one is the usage as a currency. We cannot deny it is not a currency. Maybe this doesn't have the legal acceptance around the globe as we have acceptance for USD or some other local currencies.

BTC buy all... so BTC is a currency.

bitcoin can use to buy things you want so it can be consider as currency. bitcoin is digital and fiat is physical and gold too, as long as it is accepted for exchange by the people it can be consider as currency.
