As a store of value? Probably.

As a currency? I don't think so. There are far cheaper, faster and more anonymous alternatives out there. When it comes to safety, bitcoin is the best but in other fields, bitcoin loses miserably.

If you are here for the long term, bitcoin is your safest bet.

If you want to use crypto as a currency, get something else.

This completely ignores the use of the Lightning Network. Have you ever used LN to purchase anything?

If not, go and do that first, and then come and tell me what you just said. Bitcoin can be an excellent medium of exchange.
