I believe that one of the most useful purposes of bitcoin aside using it as an investment is for transactions purpose. Bitcoin can serve as a medium of exchange without the interference of fiat. With this usefulness of bitcoin, it becomes possible for people staying in different countries to be able to do transactions with fewer restriction.
From my own point of view, the aspect of using bitcoin as means of transaction needs to be focus more on . Although , it is mostly the investment part of it that pulls many people into bitcoin, however using it as means of transaction and having control of one's funds is an essential part of bitcoin.
Just like you have said, outside using bitcoin as a means of investment, because majority of the people investing in bitcoin is investing because they want to make money, likewise also make profits for themselves while investing in bitcoin, I see Bitcoin as something very unique, where you can stay anywhere with your access to internet, and bitcoin transactions is very fast and reliable, but Im going to mostly emphasize that Bitcoin is quite unique in different ways, not just investing for profits and transactions aspect, but as well as the decentralization of Bitcoin, that no Government have control or access to your Bitcoin which is something i see as a very important and unique something, you can control your Bitcoin investments as you wish, there are people who invest in Bitcoin as saving for the future, you can be stacking Bitcoin also as a means of saving your money and nobody would have control over your savings unlike the banks, and privacy is import as well nobody would know how much you have in your wallet, but banks there are people who would know how much you have and they can get all information about your bank accounts most especially the Government.
