I get what you’re saying, but I have to point this out, I don’t understand the part you talking about currency, if it is Bitcoin then Bitcoin is not just any currency…
Putting it in the same box as a random currency or tokens is exactly how people miss the bigger picture. With Bitcoin, you’re not just holding for a price pump, you’re holding an asset that had proven itself over and over again..
You're right. Putting Bitcoin with "Just another currency" ruins the essence of it.
Bitcoin is not just another coin that a person trades for small short term gains. It is a decentralized censorship-resistant monetary network that has operated flawlessly for more than a Decade without central authority. It's value is not only in the price appreciation but in the borderless system it provides.
Unlike fiat currencies which can be printed more or other altcoins which can be changed or abandoned. Bitcoin's monetary policy is transparent, fixed and enforced by the network itself. That's why it's not seen by experts as a speculative asset but the foundation of a system that can give financial freedom.
Bitcoin is decentralized and it has gone beyond just another currency like the many traditional centralized currencies that governments can wake up and print as much as they want and are prone to inflation. Bitcoin has become a store of value, it has proven to be an asset that has the potentials to be profitable and always reaching new ATH.
As a matter of fact Bitcoin has become more than a digital currency for payments of goods and services like fiat, people hodl it for investment. This is why it's adoption is increasing and smart investors are getting in and continuously buying for the long term.
