Can't deny Bitcoin has some pretty big advantages over fiat and traditional assets. It has way more use cases and purposes than any other financial tool out there.

But tbh, I also believe that profit is the main driving force behind its adoption and what really hooks us in, nothing else. People might use it to hedge against inflation, preserve purchasing power,..but let's be real, none of those perks would even matter if Bitcoin could not make them money.

Without that expectation, I doubt even a fraction of the people today would actually care about Bitcoin this much.

The truth is that the payment system argument is primarily the most important reason behind Satoshi's innovation of Bitcoin but if we're being honest, it's definitely not it's biggest use today.

Bitcoin today is mostly treated as an investment asset not for everyday payment and somehow, I think it contradicts the primary objective of Satoshi.

That said, the good thing is wether you're using as a means of payment in your day to day transactions or as an investment asset, you'll do either without needing a central authority or any third-party of any kind.

Obviously, we can limit it's usefulness to just one case.

Bitcoin will help you in all aspects, no matter which direction you start from, it carries the most benefits in terms of transactions, you can take the opportunity to transact Bitcoin anywhere, anytime, at any time in a short time without any hassle. And you can also take Bitcoin payments as salary, this will give you many additional benefits, if you accept fiat currency from the bank, then it can be very annoying for you. Because you have to withdraw money by maintaining the serial, but if you accept payments through Bitcoin, then it will not bother you in any way.
Not only from this aspect, you can also get good benefits from holding Bitcoin, this will make proper use of your money and eliminate financial shortages in the future.

I believe that cash and bank transfer are different uses of money, and cash is not electronic, it's physical and offline. Bank transfers are digital and online so between cash and bank transfers, cash can give people more privacy.

The Bitcoin White paper was written with that title "A peer-to-peer electronic cash system" but I would like to have something like "A peer-to-peer electronic money transfer system", it would avoid confusion with cash.

It's only my view and I can not change it, Satoshi Nakamoto as the Bitcoin founder created this project, this coin, wrote the White Paper, and the title was decided to be written like that more than one decade ago already.

Am with you, that payment side of Bitcoin is very important but also when we look at the situations where traditional payment systems don’t work well the real value becomes clearer.
It useful to be able to send value directly but also, convenience or speed alone won’t be enough to make a person choose bitcoin over payment methods they already use.

When one don’t want to depend completely on payment companies or bank the biggest advantage is having another option, this gives Bitcoin use beyond speculation even in a case that users hold it today just for investment.

Greed has been one of the root cause of the change in the narrative of usage of bitcoin for transactional purpose and not just for the sake of profit that is gotten through holding or trading. ideally, if you are transacting with bitcoin either as a means of carrying out international transaction or as an alternative transitionary means other than the fiat, you are supposed to have enjoyed the complete usefulness of bitcoin as much as you are using it for one of the purposes through which bitcoin was invented for.

The different purposes and uses of bitcoin by every individual marks the main purpose why Bitcoin was created and so for any reason why we are using Bitcoin is still in line, therefore one aspect does not deserve more attention than the other , they are all important and deserves equal attention

The main creation of bitcoin to be used is to make payments without stress from one country to another, region to region and place to place for whatever needs we want in as much as the receiver is ready to collect Bitcoin as a means of payment which is even more faster in transaction with less charges than fiat , it is basically used for online transactions for goods and services  and others since it is a digital currency

Store of value, when you invest in Bitcoin for a long term of 4-10 years or more not short term, the value keeps increasing and gives you a good profit at the end of your investment since the supply is limited which makes it scares and more valuable than fiat but being compared to gold, it serves as an hedge over inflation since it does not depreciate but appreciate over time, which makes individuals, firms and counties want to invest in them as an asset.

This aspect also gives the traders more opportunities to buy and sell their coins at any point in time that they want for more valuable rewards with the believe of it's growing value over time.
