Bitcoin gives freedom and privacy to it's holders that is why they're at liberty to either spend it as a decentralized digital currency or they can hodl it as an investment asset. Bitcoin is a new innovation in the financial system and it's not even two decades old, so you can't expect it's usage as a currency to be compared with fiat just yet, you have to give it time. I believe that in the near future the naretive about Bitcoin by those that are still skeptical about it will change, it's already happening, the adoption is increasing geometrically. Some businesses have started to accept Bitcoin, gradually more will join as the awareness and adoption continues to increase. Remember that great things starts from small beginnings and it's sad that Rome, wasn't built in a day, so it's not too late for you to hop on the train.
