When we invest money or time in something, we do that because we hope to gain more than we put.
We use feelings, analysis, crystal balls, economics theories and so on to gain something more.
What are our real perceptions and feelings of those assets, before and after?.
Let’s have a look to some flowers.

Many of us will say or think: “What beautiful flowers! What colors?” or something like.
Those flowers are an investment for the future, because those flowers will become peaches if some will take care of them.
We could say the same for the next flowers.

“Oh, they are looking nice and pretty”, now! They will become strawberries, red and sweet and edible, that’s mean life and survive if you need to eat something.
And the next one? Can we consider it an investment for the future?

It seems a sort of light mud, but it will become pizza in a while, in a very near future.
Bitcoin and altcoins are investment assets.
How are they appearing to us now and what will they become in the future?
