Long story short
Bitcoin isn't an asset that should be traded.
This is an interesting perspective you brought out, i guess this is one of the wrong mindset most newbies put into there minds when learning about BITCOIN well as we all know BITCOIN investment is know for a highly volatile and most speculative investment we all know that BITCOIN can be considered a unique asset and unpredictable assets it can be used for store of value and speculation which mean buying BITCOIN for the future used.
Because even though Bitcoin is already accepted by most companies for payment, it doesn't mean we should use Bitcoin to pay for something that is not much more valuable than Bitcoin. So that's why some people say that Bitcoin is not an asset to be traded even though Bitcoin is already on many exchanges at this time.
Bitcoin is not accepted by most companies and this is one thing all lovers of Bitcoin should pay attention to... the use case. The moment Bitcoin becomes accepted by lots of organizations, then we could see it in virtually all sectors of the economy including aviation, shipping lines, grocery stores and even the remote markets of Africa like the Kenyan Mpesa.
It seems you have the very essence of Bitcoin wrongly because Bitcoin was actually created to serve as a currency just like every other fiat that we have out there but its uniqueness is that it is not centralized and therefore not controlled by any single entity. Therefore, Bitcoin ought to be used to pay for goods and services, traded and allowed to stand as a medium of exchange. So the other part of your statement is wrong and not in agreement with Satoshi's vision.
We know that holding Bitcoin can create some values and generate wealth on the long run but we also have to encourage people to use Bitcoin in their daily lives so that people can truly appreciate the freedom and comfort that Bitcoin offers. We should support and encourage innovations that will enable people use Bitcoin in their daily lives like meeting their basic needs. This does not reduce the value of Bitcoin but just make it grow better and stronger.
