Yes, some people don't see bitcoin as an investment, and they are using it as a currency, I was wrong to rush to conclude it's just an investment.  but the number of people using it as a currency is few, if not scarce.
Do you have any evidence that bitcoin is benefiting a country's economy, let alone the impact of the world economy?  not even Satoshi mentioned that bitcoin has a mission or ability to fix the economy.

Proof I don't know, but when big brands start accepting bitcoin, something is changing. We could cite Pick n Pay (https://cointelegraph.com/news/retail-giant-pick-n-pay-to-accept-bitcoin-in-1-628-stores-across-south-africa) in Africa or even McDonald's, without forgetting luxury brands.

Even the famous brand in New-York Jacob and Co (watches) created a luxury bitcoin watch (https://www.cointribune.com/jacob-and-co-montre-astronomia-solar-bitcoin/)
