When I first stumbled upon Bitcoin, I was told that if you buy Now you would make more in the future. I got hooked without even knowing its uses and why it was created.
Bitcoin is very difficult for new people particularly the ones that don't have background knowledge of computer and some other related info about bitcoin. But since bitcoin rise in value after some time and people loves to hear things like profits, they use that to draw their attention sometimes which is not bad. We can't deny that bitcoin does give quality return but it's also risky at the same time.
The limited supply of Bitcoin like land has made it turn to an investment opportunity with many not even knowing why it was created and market its meant to satisfy.
Bitcoin has limited supply of 21 millions and 19.5 is already in circulation, and the rest will be unlock through continues mining, this is why bitcoin is special but land doesn't have limited, they only appreciate when you by them in a location where people want to live. If you should buy land anywhere, it might be there for 20 years without any appreciations.
Bitcoin, according to the white paper is a peer to peer payment method. It serves as money with no third party or central body involved. Currently, it hasn't fully meant the criteria of money due to certain limitations but it has helped one become their own Bank. Not to mention, Created more uses than satoshi anticipated.
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying it as an investment is bad since it has helped in increasing the community but many people have become so concerned about its price and have forgotten it's inherent uses.
I don't think there is anywhere in bitcoin white paper that says bitcoin is money but I know that it can be use to transfer value if you wish to do so and peer to peer has long been happening before centralized exchanges where born to crypto. It's just that, bitcoin is already bigger than what Satoshi himself dream about, there is more dream on dream of Satoshi that we are seeing everytime through the growth and adoption.
