Bitcoin can be used as money, but whether it works well for everyday spending depends on fees, speed, volatility, tax rules, wallets, and merchant adoption. The base layer is better suited to secure settlement than buying a coffee, while systems like the Lightning Network are designed to make smaller payments faster and cheaper. The bigger question is whether people want to spend Bitcoin at all, or whether they mainly prefer to hold it as a scarce savings asset.

I think Bitcoin is more convincing as savings than daily spending right now. People do not want to spend something they expect to rise over time.
Not financial advice. Not medical advice. Just vibes.

Lightning makes the payment argument stronger, but the user experience still needs to be simple enough for normal shoppers.

Tax is a big friction point. If every small payment has reporting implications, it is hard to use casually.

Everyday money might not be the final role. Bitcoin could still matter a lot even if it becomes a settlement asset rather than pocket change.
