That's what the original vision of Satoshi, to used bitcoin as digital currency without third party involved. However, in the last couple of years, bitcoin has become a investment platform like store of wealth for big investors.

Of course I would like it to be like cash that we can used for our everyday lives, sadly though its not yet realized but I'm still positive that we can achieved that in the future.

So let see how it goes specially with Lightning Network already in the horizon. You can open channels from A to B and transaction will be quick and seamless.
It has not materialized yet the vision of satoshi but we are slowly getting there it is going to still take sometime even after the implementation of the LN, after all we are so used to hold our bitcoin that the benefits of using our bitcoin will have to be bigger than the benefits of holding and with the price so high and the potential for the price to go even higher I do not think that is going to happen soon so we will need first a huge adoption by the population so the price increases and the holders finally decide to use their bitcoin.
