Bitcoin will remain and will always be called an investment as long as there is demand. Bitcoin is compared like gold and that alone is enough reason for bitcoin to be called an investment. Bitcoin maybe created as an alternative to fiat currency but bitcoin found success as an investment instead of a currency.

There is a demand for potatoes too but you don't see people speculating on potatoes, going to the supermarket and buy some to hodl in the kitchen. If Bitcoin found its success as an investment as you say, so Bitcoin will never be accepted by governments and institutions to be used as a currency and so Bitcoin will never be a mainstream payment method. It(s also why we have regulations related to investments instead to get regulations as a currency

Bitcoin has a function to serve as a currency and also as an investment. For me Bitcoin is a fantastic thing and can accommodate all our needs. Many advantages possessed by Bitcoin and therefore some time ago I routinely use Bitcoin to perform financial transactions every day. In fact, I have been using Bitcoin for a long time as an investment, this is an option that we must be able to take advantage of all the conditions that exist in order to achieve a bright future for our lives.

Means its properties are more multifunctional (free to use in any way), this is very different from fiat money and credit cards that still have restrictions (boundary area / country) how to use it. While, bitcoin is easily accessible anywhere and anytime even with a smartphone.
