Asset is a term that is interpreted into several definitions by several subjects. Assets are wealth in the form of money or other tangible objects
while
Cryptocurrencies are digital assets designed to work as a medium of exchange using strong cryptography to secure financial transactions, control the creation of additional units, and verify asset transfers.

so according to the article I read bitcoin is more a currency not an asset
but it all comes back to the choice and understanding of what they want from bitcoin itself

Honestly I also agree if bitcoin is called an Asset and not a currency because bitcoin has a price that often goes up and down too far so the holders will benefit if the bitcoin price goes up and if the bitcoin price goes down the holders will suffer losses. We can't use Bitcoin as a payment tool around the world and bitcoin also doesn't have a form that we can feel in the real world so bitcoin is less supportive if it's called a currency.

Well, each of us has references on how to manage our portfolio and if you think your bitcoin is worth it pay online in any merchant, it is up to you.
Why we can't use our bitcoin as a payment, it depends on us if you are willing to spend it or save it for storing value purposes, --that is the beauty of cryptocurrency, it could be your valuable asset and it could be used as an alternative to fiat currency. So the question of OP was a matter on which you are preferred.

And you say so.
But I was hoping for huge changes in the next few decades (that gonna be too long to wait).

It should be in gradual market adoption, the development isn't so fast as we can't deny that the majority are still living in the doubts about Bitcoin. However, we are good to know that some countries are giving their full support by legalizing Bitcoin. It is already an indication that we heading for better and bigger market support unlike before.

And those countries who ban crypto, will soon to get back.

Bitcoin today is both an asset and a currency. Due to price volatility and high handling fees, Bitcoin cannot be used as a currency in daily life. As a means of payment, it has not yet been widely accepted. Bitcoin may now be more valuable as an asset, and many people buy Bitcoin and profit from it. However，In El Salvador, Bitcoin is the country’s legal tender, so Bitcoin can be called a currency in El Salvador.

why not ? i have been using my btc as currency to buy and pay if money and other currencies is not available but at the same time it was my asset for investment .
btc was introduced as a currency and that wont changed even if many are using their btc only as an asset  .
 you better try using your btc more in payments or for buying and you will soon appreciate its other side .

People will not be holding Bitcoin if it has no value and if everybody is thinking that it will not pump again and will soon be zero in value. You see, a big number of Bitcoin holders are speculators  and no speculators will wish that what he is holding will be going down...it is always up and if that is the case then a person will surely continue to be holding that coin or Bitcoin.

The problem is that if Bitcoin has no chance to go up, I don't think there will even be 5% pf the holders will remain holding it and I don't think either anybody will be excited about it. Bitcoin's volatility is a two-edged sword repelling some people and attracting a bigger number into it. Is it good as an asset and not as a currency? Maybe yes and there is actually nothing wrong with that because that is not the fault of Bitcoin...that thing is being decided by us the people. And who knows what the future may bring...

Bitcoin as an asset is more valuable than currency used for transactions.
The volatility of Bitcoin prices and the high handling fees for small transactions are not suitable for daily transactions.
If you invest in Bitcoin and hold it for a long time, you will get good benefits. The scarcity of Bitcoin and the increase in consensus and demand will affect the value of Bitcoin has risen and will make high profits.

indeed at this time the initial goal of bitcoin has not been achieved, while bitcoin is actually used to make money because the price is increasing over time, besides that due to high fluctuations, bitcoin is widely used for trading whether bitcoin will achieve its goal, we'll see together

actually if we look towards inflation I'm not sure
that Bitcoin if used as real money will decrease, because we already know that the supply of Bitcoin is limited and it is only 21000000 coins. but the weakness of Bitcoin if used as real money is basically Bitcoin is decentralized and independent besides Bitcoin is also volatile so it is very difficult when we make Bitcoin as real money, we will be confused about what will happen next because of the volatile nature earlier become a scourge because basically we don't know which direction Bitcoin's movement will go up and down. and when Bitcoin goes up or down do we charge the same price for an item as well. of course this becomes a confusion and will be very difficult when replacing Fiat money and original money that has been circulating now that has been circulating for several years even from ancient times it will be difficult to adapt to if Bitcoin is used as the original currency.
and that I think is very difficult to do
