In an economic sense,
An INVESTMENT is the purchase of goods that are not consumed today but are used in the future to create wealth.
In finance
An INVESTMENT is a monetary asset purchased with the idea that the asset will provide income in the future or will later be sold at a higher price for a profit.
I really don't want to turn these into an economics class but the both definition of what investments are clearly should settle the argument of whether BTC is truly an investment or not.
For now you are right that bitcoin is a investment since it was now adapted worldwide and has limited functionality so we have no option but to consider this as an asset,investments and currency,in future when time comes that countries realize what they ate missing,then that time bitcoin will be treated as what it must be.and that is a universal currency
