Psst. You can use Bitcoin for whatever purpose you may see fit. You want to use it as an investment? A payment currency? A way of having real ownership over your money? A way of hiding your wealth from the government? You may even use it to buy those anime waifu pillows or Belle Delphine's bath water and I don't care one bit. Because that's the point! You have complete freedom with Bitcoin, and you don't need to care what people think!
This is the perfect reply. Satoshi never specifically said that Bitcoins can't be used as an investment asset. And I don't believe that there is really a difference in purchasing United States Treasury Bonds for investment and keeping BTC as an investment asset. Users are free to do whatever they want to do with Bitcoin. The OP doesn't have any right to dictate the terms to them.
