If they are assets, they will have value, and if they have value, they are all assets. To me, I will not distinguish real assets and virtual assets here, all have value and generate profits, I will collectively call them assets. Although bitcoins cannot be seen and touched with my hands like gold, I can sell bitcoins to buy gold and vice versa, so bitcoin as well as gold are valuable assets. No difference here, even bitcoin is more useful asset than gold, bitcoin is more profitable than gold, and bitcoin is easier and more convenient to store than gold.

Whether Bitcoin is a real asset or not but fortunately, a lot of people become crazy with this knowing that there is a huge possible income in this. In fact, some individuals are selling their properties in order for them to buy Bitcoin for a huge amount. We can't really read what is in their mind but I believe this is because they can sense the huge returns and forget about the risk.
Perhaps, we have Gold as a real asset but people neglect to consider this instead of taking Bitcoin.

That is because bitcoin is newer and that is why people are not entirely sure. I understand that it is not going to be that easy to figure out why people are looking harder into bitcoin to find a fault but the reality is that we are not really doing this because it is regarding something we care for whereas other people are caring about stocks and trying to find a mistake in bitcoin so that they could either feel more comfortable with their stock choice, or feel a bit more powerful by showing a fault in something else.

Either way, they want to make themselves feel better about themselves by showing a problem in crypto, because all problems of the stock world is already known and a big problem at that as well.

Whether it reflects the true asset nature or not is entirely different thing however it does proven one point: it grows over the time and it grows mega fold as compared to any other assets or stocks available out there. Comparing in terms of timeline and higher income growth bitcoin has proven perfect asset to have in your pockets and grow with it. So I think yes, we can completely rely on bitcoin. If it had no valuation or if it’s popularity seem to be decreasing then it could have been done already. But as we can see it’s on the right track. Just grab and keep up the growth.

An investment that is capable to give you profits and is more valuable and useful, that way it becomes an asset for you. With bitcoin, it’s a proven asset because a lot of people who take the risk have already been making good profits from it. Although not all people experience profits from bitcoin because some only made losses in bitcoin, but if you are knowledgeable and are patient enough to invest in bitcoin, then it will always be a valuable asset.

When living in the real world, socially, indeed we will be considered rich if we have real assets, which can be seen by others. The perception of rich and poor will actually differ depending on who is looking at it. However, it is undeniable that if we have many assets, other people will have different views of us. Maybe we actually don't want that status, but it is the people around us who lead opinions and views about it. We cannot deny the existence of this view if we are in such a social environment.

And, even if we invest in the crypto business, this is very different, especially since not everyone knows and understands about crypto. In fact, they might not think so. What's more, they sometimes suspect what business we are doing when we don't seem to do anything, but we have money. 

In this case, that's why I think there is a need for asset diversification for investments, both real and digital investments like this.

Real asset is something that has enough value of money in the real world like real estate, gold, and even Bitcoin. Just look at the price of Bitcoin and compare it to the other things that has value then you can tell that it's an asset but at the same time it could be used as a currency. A currency that has a real value of fiat and of course, it all goes down to the demand and supply that's why things have values rising over the years.

Asset is money in your pocket? how shallow it is to define what an asset is.
Well, let me just expand the definition of it. Asset is something that you have that has a value. It also means something that you that has value and could make you possible profit. A money in your pocket is an asset yes, but it does not generate more money/profit by just letting it sit inside your pocket without using it to invest into something.

Let's just put it this way base on your own vocabulary.
Asset = something you owned that has value.
Real asset = something you owned that has value that can potentially make you more money/profit.

PS. Bitcoin is money btw. 

It seems that you have experienced accusations from your neighbors, so you speak and have thoughts what I think, I also experienced what you mean by having real assets, so that people around your house do not have further thoughts, about your work as a crypto user, instead I tell them and teach them about digital assets, so as not to think anything of myself, even though it's difficult at least they know what I'm looking for in the crypto world, and have assets in crypto and income..

As time went on they just understood what I was doing in the crypto world, and got quite a large income from buying and selling crypto, and finally they too have until now, playing crypto to build their economy, at least I have helped them to make money or valuable assets, apart from real assets that there are also digital assets that others can't see, at least people who see me don't have any envy towards me..
