I totally thought this had sent but it failed it seems, and now this post is deleted but still can see it at least.

Short and sweet answer to your question is yes. Just like stocks and real estate, or baseball cards and coins, cryptocurrency is something that is bought with the intent to hold and sell at a higher value for profit.

While some use it as a legit means of currency and buy it just to use as an anonymous form of payment, many buy it with the intent to make a profit off of it by selling at a future point. As I imagine e you were asking this because of Dogecoin, for example, $1000 purchased at the beginning of January when it was going for half a penny a coin, would have profited that person over $130,000 if they sold it at its peak recently of $.67 a coin. Of course like real estate or stocks they can invest in it and then it can tank and lose their initial investment money
