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!
Couldn't agree more, despite the investment potential, Bitcoin is also a fast, anonymous way of sending and receiving money. Back when Bitcoin was worth $200~, I had used it to buy some Minecraft accounts and some other online related stuff.

No one could actually predict that it would reach such price levels, 5 or 10 years ago.

See, e.g.
