Whether bitcoin is a currency or not depends on two people and that is the consumer who is willing to use it to pay for goods and services and the producer who is also willing to accept it as a method of payment.  As far as these two groups of people are concerned,  Bitcoins is truly a currency .

Bitcoin is a currency but it so happens that it can be only use or spend digitally. if not then and its an asset because it increases, US Dollar is not a currency because its Philippines Pesos equivalent increases and other then.

He is a hater of bitcoin. He doesn't want bitcoin to succeed.

If people and services start adopting SegWit, the fees needed to move value will decrease decently, but as long as SegWit adoption isn't picking up, people will still be subject to the current higher fees. Easy option I would say. Also, transaction times are pretty much near instant in most cases, so that's not really a problem. What you are referring to are the confirmation times, and yes, they more often than not work on people's nerves, especially in times where a higher fee translates into your transactions being included in a block sooner. In order to choose for a workable temporary solution, make use of SegWit....

Actually, he is one of so many people doing FUD's towards crypto. It is much better if we just ignored those things because it contribute nothing for the improvement to us. In stead, it helps only to to people from crashing our life. I know that we have our decision and also we have instinct to feel what is right and wrong.

Each person has a different view, We could not guess the future based on what is happening right now, we must appreciate every second that bitcoin exist and helps the people to rise up from poverty. No matter what happens, I assure this that bitcoin remarks the history of currency evolution.

It goes without saying that he must be the hater. Why we cannot call Bitcoin currency even many people use it to buy something? In the other words there is no denying that is a currency, but a special kind of currency which isn't physical. People who know even a little information shouldn't take any notice of haters like he.

It never was. The thing is bitcoins can never be classified as currency using the old and conventional description of what currency is in most jurisdictions. The reason is plain and simple, a currency is something that is backed up by commodity such as gold or that it is backed up by a centralized authority or state. Both of which are not something available in bitcoins. The issue is clear, bitcoins are something else and it needs to be classified by the governments different from currency.

If it isn't a currency so how can we call it then? Could you tell me further what's segwit is all about in the easiest term? Normally,I just read information but now I can see better information from real people in here. This could be a good source byfar. Just in my opinion,I think it will be a currency someday if accepted in government. Let's wait and see then.
