Bitcoin is meant for spending, but people never appreciate such a thing rather than it becoming an asset. It is the choice of the majority to have Bitcoin as a saving tool rather than a spending tool. Why? It is because they see profit opportunity. If we see Bitcoin like nothing before because of its sole purpose, now it becomes valuable because of its earning potential. This thing gains more interest than just being a currency.
We admit the fact that people prefer paper money over Bitcoin (just for now). It will take several years before we see Bitcoin being considered as a full-fledged currency.
