Well said mate. Bitcoin has even gone a long way in its limitless purpose, and that’s why we can’t blame the people if they rush to own bitcoin since they can always take advantage on it by making it a long term investment or a payment alternative to fiat. Bitcoin hasn’t shifted its purpose, but it’s actually its users and investors who are using bitcoin at a good cause beyond its initial purpose.

I think not. Well,  you see, bitcoin is a new technology and really has the potential to be the most powerful currency in the world. It's not that bitcoin is being used for its intended purpose; it's just that people are implementing it in other innovations, which is a good thing. Bitcoin being used in many projects or innovations means the future of bitcoin  is bright. So dont just stay what you think bitcoin purpose is because its better to have many innovations in bitcoin, unlike what its primarily purpose is, and it is another way of introducing bitcoin to other people. If people can see bitcoin in many things, then people will be more interested and most likely to use bitcoin. Many bitcoin users mean bitcoin will increase more, so dont be too worried about bitcoin drifting to its original purpose, because it is not; its just that bitcoin is being used and implemented in many things.

Of course your right to an extent, but from what op is saying is the fact that bitcoin from an obvious point or view or if you're very observant with the way things are going now you will find out that bitcoin is more of a speculative currency than a P2P digital currency that it was meant for, although it's still in its original track but from a closer look with the way adoptions and big institutions are showering in a lot of cash into bitcoin holding it as a reserve currency you can see that it's more life a speculative device than a cash thar it is.

It is what it is but the investment part of bitcoin is put first this days instead of a currency for transactions.

The initial purpose of bitcoin is still obeyed and no one gave shifted from its purpose till date. Bitcoin has become so popular and vast that other means of benefiting from it has been discovered which makes it a more valuable and attractive concept for payment which was the main purpose of its creation and to serve as alternative to the traditional banking system. It is not here to bring an end to the traditional banking system and also not here to devour from its main purpose of invention, but the aspect of investment it can also be ventured into, makes it an exclusive asset also to depend in when it comes to saving and investment altogether.

It's true, until now the world of banking still exists and is present in our midst and BTC is here to provide its users with various other conveniences. Yes, BTC is also seen as an investment tool that has various advantages compared to investments made traditionally and of course provides users with a good opportunity to get large returns if done long term and correctly. Apart from that, Blockchain technology behind Bitcoin also provides many business opportunities if you dig deeper into where it can be used.

Yep, bitcoin is still bitcoin, it has never changed but people's usage has changed and most people just prefer to use bitcoin as an investment rather than a currency.

But I think it's not as serious or bad as many people think. Because at the end of the day, whether bitcoin is a currency or an investment, it is still decentralized and most importantly, it still benefits those who invest in it. An invention will truly become useless when it is not used or does not bring any useful use or use case. But in this case, bitcoin has brought great benefits as a decentralized asset. It not only helps people become aware of the concept of decentralization, privacy... but it has been helping many people improve their economy and have a better life.
So, even though bitcoin is not used as a currency and is only considered an investment, it is not that bad.

Besides El Salvador, the only country that makes bitcoin legal tender, which other countries have adopted bitcoin as legal tender? You need to know that to be able to use bitcoin as currency, we need to be recognized and legal by the government, and that is also a huge barrier for bitcoin to become a currency.

I won't deny you that bitcoin is more often used as an investment than as a currency. For personal gain, we took advantage of bitcoin as an investment to seek profits for ourselves. But we also need to consider the factor from the government, if they do not allow it, no one can use bitcoin as currency even if we want that to happen. So the fact that bitcoin cannot become a currency largely comes from the government, you should also ask the government about this, not just us.

We can never say it is turning away from its real purpose until nobody is buying and selling their Bitcoin. Most exchanges are adding P2P trade which means that they are seeing the growing event in this area. We can say it is for investment purposes because that is what we think but if we try to use this as an alternative currency, we can also say that it was still in the direction of its creation. We can't totally feel it now because only a few people are using it and also still few companies are accepting this but it is actually growing and sooner we really gonna be seeing it boldly.

Despite the fact the fact that a lot of people are investing in Bitcoin and holding it for a long time for the sake of profit, there are still people who are spending their Bitcoin to purchase any item they desire. Bitcoin is not turning away from its purpose, man. Bitcoin was not only created for p2p transactions; it was meant to be used for whatever purpose it can serve. Bitcoin is a store of value; rather than holding fiat, which can lose value, it's better to hold bitcoin, and that is why investors are holding onto their bitcoin and not fiat. 

Its not really that Bitcoin had gone into its main purpose, it is really just that the community or most people taking advantage into one of its benefits or opportunities on which Bitcoin could give.
We can actually do the same time when it comes on p2p transactions and at the same time you do make money once the value do rise up and this is something that could benefit out.
Just dont make yourself that too serious on sticking into a single thing if Bitcoin could give out other possible benefits that a certain person would really be able to attain or achieve on simply holding it.
No matter what we do, as long there's demand and recognition then its price wouldnt really be just that stagnant or would really be staying still. This is why it is really that getting that so much support.

We do know that it isnt really just that limited to BItcoin but in overall coins in the market that we can see those kind of opportunities. This is why it would really be better that
you should really be wise on placing yourself or having that good entry to take that advantage and making profits.
