It's a tool to alternate cash and the purpose of no one controls it even the government, but here we are holding it for storing value.
Others interpretation is that it depends on whether an individual in the crypto space believes that. The fact is that most communities have believed in the positives seen in Bitcoin, and that includes me. As far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with it. Now, whatever Satoshi Nakamoto's reason for creating Bitcoin was, it was certainly not the only reason why he designed it.
Just try to imagine that more than a decade ago, Satoshi saw that Bitcoin would help in the future, and something is happening now that really helps. So the fact that we make a profit through Bitcoin is one of the reasons why Nakamoto created it. This may not be the main reason, but profit cannot be excluded. For me, the main reason why Bitcoin was created is because of blockchain technology, usage, and decentralization.
Why was Bitcoin created?
It is true that bitcoin is becoming an asset and not a currency as Satoshi intended. But I also don't see anything wrong with people considering it an investment or store of value. If it becomes a currency but does not bring too many benefits or has many users, what does it mean to be a currency? What we should care more about is the use cases, the benefits that bitcoin is bringing us. Do not worry too much when it is not used for the purpose for which it was created. Furthermore, although it is considered an asset, anyone can use bitcoin as a currency if they want. Bitcoin is the best multi-tool we have.
