Bitcoin's still peer-to-peer digital cash to me, and likely to millions of other folks across the globe.  The high fees are temporary while developers try to expand the system (like Lightning Network) so it can process more payments efficiently.  For small everyday buys, you've got a point - there are probably better choices currently.  But Bitcoins great for larger transfers where normal finance can be slow and pricey and  plus Bitcoin's still the most widely accepted digital currency and most secure payment network out there.  That part hasn't changed.
