Some people think Bitcoin is shifting away from its original purpose. Initially, it was designed to be a decentralized digital currency for everyday transactions. However, due to high transaction fees and slow processing times, it's now often seen more as a store of value, like digital gold, rather than a daily-use currency. Many people hold Bitcoin as an investment rather than spending it. This change in use can be seen as drifting from its original intent of being a peer-to-peer electronic cash system.
