The fact is that bitcoin's current primary use-case is long term store of value. To use bitcoin is to simply hold it for years, protecting yourself from the dilution of value that occurs in any other liquid asset in the world, of which fiat currencies are the worst. Once you stop looking at the world through the fiat lens, things make far more sense. For example, house prices are currently the lowest they've been in 40 years, if you use gold as your unit of account.
