In those days when I began to be interested in the crypt, the idea of Bitcoin as a "digital gold" seemed to me simple and obvious.
In fact - a fixed number of coins, independent, decentralized and indestructible block. Let it be with some reservations, but it's all true. However, now virtually all crypto currencies are used as a speculative high volatility asset and BTC is no exception. To Bitcoin really become "digital gold", its adoption in this capacity is a significant part of society. For now, there is a certain percentage of holders, there is a share of speculators and a huge number of people who are not interested in crypto-currencies or are disappointed in them.
Without a public consensus, Bitcoin can only pretend to be a savior from the devaluation of currency in a particular country - if, for example, in Russia, hyperinflation begins, investments in BTC will perfectly save your money.
But, if there is a global crisis and a stock market fall, then from the Crypto-currency, including BTC, speculators will take out dollars in the first place.
I hope this situation will change in the foreseeable future, but for now, I see it like this.
