South Korean Supreme Court Rules Bitcoin Is an Asset

I read about this news that in south korea bitcoin is legally become recognizeable as asset. I do think bitcoin is a currency and not an asset. I dont know whether this is good news or not for cryptocurrency. One thing i believe with legalization from goverment i do think more investors will come to invest in bitcoin, but i think if bitcoin become an asset its not as it suppose to because i believe bitcoin should be a currency which is currency is for transaction and asset is not for transaction.

The US determined bitcoin and crypto to be property and not currency in 2014. S Korea isn’t alone in this.

Bitcoin has been declared an asset by some countries resulting in investment gains taxes while in others it’s a currency. Right now it’s being used as an investment, so calling it a currency is probably not right.

New classes need to be created expanding what countries currently regulate rather than trying to cram in everything new into old categories.
