Why has Bitcoin remained only a store of value for so many years?

Bitcoin was originally created to be peer-to-peer digital cash, but after more than a decade, it’s still mostly seen as a store of value.

Is it because of volatility that makes it hard to use for everyday payments? Is it slow adoption and scaling issues? Or did its role naturally shift over time?

Today, many people treat Bitcoin more like “digital gold” — something you hold long-term because of its fixed supply and strong security, rather than something you spend daily.

So the real question is: is Bitcoin still evolving into money, or has it already settled into being a long-term store of value asset?
