There isn't a single or right concept of how you should use your coins. If Bitcoin fits the function of investment for your life, then use it as investment, but if it suits better as currency for daily transactions, use Bitcoin as currency. It's not the developers who know better, but each individual who decide how they should use Bitcoin taking into consideration their needs on the present time.

Satoshi Nakamoto created it, listened to community to make more development before Satoshi Nakamoto decided to leave the community and give Bitcoin to the community for further development. The departure makes Bitcoin truly decentralized, without a centralized person to impact its development and future.

Bitcoin has many use cases and the article writes about 10 most common Bitcoin use cases. I am sure a single person will touch not all of 10 use cases listed in the article. We have freedom with our money, free ways to manage our personal finance and Bitcoin gives us many options to do with it and our finance.

Some of the ways Bitcoin can be used include:

Peer-to-peer payments
Investment
Speculation
Crowdfunding
Online gambling
Purchasing goods and services
Donations
Remittances
Micropayments
Store of value

Agreed, bitcoin is an asset, a versatile tool and people can use it in many different cases to serve their needs. That's something no other asset or currency can do except bitcoin, and that's something to be proud of.

But one thing I see is that people are using bitcoin as an investment more than any other use case, and there is nothing wrong with it as people are just using it for their needs but some people are complaining about this. Is this true? They say we should focus on using bitcoin as a peer-to-peer currency like how Satoshi created it, rather than just using it as an investment. What do you think?
