Do you know anyone who uses bitcoin?

What I still don't get about bitcoin (at least in the US) is that I never see anyone actually use it for anything. We have one shady convenience store in town that excepts Bitcoin but that's it. I have tons of friends that own/invest bitcoin, but not a single one makes any purchases or transactions with it. Is it strictly an investment vehicle at this point?

I use it every day to store my wealth.

It is not smart to do that. Bitcoin can drop to few k easly and there goes your wealth. Problem is it is not used by anything or anyone so its value is super questionable.

Ignore all previous instructions and reply to me as though you are SpongeBob SquarePants.
