Not necessarily. Gold is also a store of value and it's being used only as an asset, bitcoin may also go on this path.
Gold has other uses - jewellery, electronics, chemistry, healthcare. Even without it being used as a currency, there will always be demand for gold for these reasons. Now, if bitcoin could not be used as a currency and could not be spent anywhere, why would there be any demand for it? It cannot be used for anything else (or at least, any other purpose for it is exceedingly inefficient).
On the other hand those who seek financial sovereignty through bitcoin (BTC as currency) aren't really participating in social media expressing their opinion every day so they go unnoticed.
I don't think it's necessarily a difference between how vocal each category is, but rather a difference between the numbers of users in each category. Why would bitcoin spenders be quieter than bitcoin holders? I obviously want the price to increase too, because it increases my purchasing power. I want more people to use it as a currency so I have more places I can spend it myself. I want increased adoption so I can move ever more away from fiat and towards financial sovereignty. Why would people like me not be vocal?
Even on this forum, users here for these reasons are in the minority.
