OP is right but no one likes to tell the truth. 99% of those who own Bitcoin today do so only to be able to resell it in the future at a higher price.
The purpose of Bitcoin was to be able to replace fiat money so that it would be free from government and inflation.
Certainly Bitcoin at the moment has proven its importance in being able to transfer money abroad, such as to countries under sanctions, thus making citizens free from government restrictions, however, the problem remains. The lightning network cannot be the solution; one has to be indoctrinated to think so.
Perhaps a second currency, linked to BTC, would be needed for use in everyday transactions, unfortunately, however, all past initiatives have always originated against BTC and viewed with disdain by the community.
