/ January 17, 2015But can Bitcoin even be considered a currency?
From 2012 to 2014 the “purchasing power” of 1 Bitcoin went from about $5 to about $1000. I guess this could be considered hyper-deflation
Then in 2014 the purchasing power of 1 Bitcoin went from about $1000 to its current value of about $200. I guess this could be considered hyper-inflation.
This volatility in purchasing power seems to exclude Bitcoin as a currency.
I don t really understand what Bitcoin actually is. But I don t think it’s a currency

Finally Bitcoin follows fundamental rules and not only obeys to speculation. This gives more credibility.
Same as gold and rouble it falls when USD gets stronger!
