How can we get people to use bitcoin as a real currency and not just a quick way to get cash as a lot of people seem to do? When I say currency, I mean the literal definition of currency as something that is used as a medium of exchange.
Even online, there are only a few stores who are accepting it as payment.

I know you do not like it but all of those that are using bitcoin as a way to invest or to trade are using it as a medium of exchange, they are using their bitcoin to buy other cryptocurrencies or to buy fiat with it, even fiat currencies that are so big and powerful are used for that so I really do not see anything wrong with it because that was bound to happen anyway.

Actually too long bear market and decline of bitcoin prices continuously, made lack of interest and trust amount the investors and they are hesitant to invest in it. Fiat of the other hand is somewhat stable and we do not see so much fluctuations in it as compare to bitcoins.
