      I think an asset is anything that can be converted to liquid, so that depends if you think crypto is liquid or not, which probably depends on location

          It doesn’t matter what I believe, I was referencing an economic textbook on what an asset and currency are

          What do you believe it to be?

            It does matter, because with respect you changed what you class it as to support your arguement. Obviously there’s still discussion on how to class BTC, but my understanding is the consensus outside of crypto is it’s a speculative asset.

            That’s also why it would be terrible as a currency, from what I understand.
