That was the main objective when Satoshi developed bitcoin: p2p transactions in order to skip the third party who's making a profit from your personal transactions. But nowadays bitcoin is not useful as a currency, fees are too high and confirmation times are too long. Today bitcoin is more of an asset to invest in and can bring good earnings.
But sir , recently the transaction time and fee drops in huge quantity. SegWit can further decrease transaction fees by 35 percent as cryptocurrency hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger explained in their site. But the question is how long it will sustain , i hope this will continue forever.
