Indeed, now that the fees are high simply because the market value keeps on increasing. It would only be advantageous for huge transactions to avoid taxes but with regular or daily transactions, I doubt. Bitcoin is popular because of its volatile market value but with uptrend pattern in a long run. It is more being used as an asset than being a currency. Well, there's nothing wrong with it but people who are pushing to use it on a daily basis are more likely the ones who are not doing so. We are majority of investors here for sure. And it is still a valid action given that there are still issues on its usage and acceptance across countries. But let's see as this industry continues to grow.
That's true; the fees are also a parameter to take into account, something I had completely forgotten. Smaller transactions will be unaffordable to go through due to the excessive fees, especially during network congestion. Not only that, but it may be subject to delays. The only way I can see Bitcoin spending possible on a daily basis would be with a cryptocurrency card topped up with Bitcoin or even other currencies, such as Binance's or Crypto.com, both of which are fully centralized, and most of us, including myself, would avoid them by all means.
There are a lot of people who are trying to deceive themselves and always trying to show the community that they are looking at bitcoin as a currency, but they check bitcoin price everyday and always expect it to go up, I like your honesty. I'm not denying bitcoin was initially created to be a decentralized currency, but things didn't work out that way in the first place, and now it's more of an asset than a currency, and we need to admit that. Furthermore, how many people would use bitcoin if it were currency? Bitcoin's volatility is what makes it more attractive than any other feature as it can generate profits.
Why would I lie to myself and claim that I'd use Bitcoin as a currency? That was its initial purpose, but we have pivoted from the original plan. Personally, it's an asset, similar to stocks, gold, you name it, in that it's undercover and decentralized. It feels like having a mini-savings account without having to go through banks. I've used Bitcoin as a currency in the past, somewhere between 2014 and 2017, and now you could say that I regret doing it because I'd have a decent sum of money that would have put me out of a lot of hassles.
