StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson recently shared his insights on whether "Bitcoin is a currency" on social media. He believes the answer is both yes and no: yes because Bitcoin has value, is trusted, and is not controlled by the government; no because its value is difficult to fully realize and it has not yet become the mainstream payment method for daily economic activities. Ben-Sasson predicts that in the future Bitcoin will ultimately be used as a currency.
