But, Bitcoin is not an investment.
First, nothing you don't understand is ever an investment for you. If you don't know mining and I do, I'm investing by buying shares in a mine whereas you're gambling by doing it. (For instance, if you don't know, and really understand, why bitcoin tends to be used in a manner where you empty the balance from one address, sending some to the intended recipient, and the leftovers to yourself at a new address, then you're not ready to invest.)
Second, it functions as a store of wealth not capital. Its gains are partly from other currencies devaluing around it, not it being used to create more goods the way buying a piece of capital (shares in a manufacturing company) would.
That said, if you do any gambling (lottery tickets) you might as well put that into bitcoin, you at least might get something back.
