The best use of BTC in my opinion is the value reserve: no one can print BTC to a greater extent than the source code dictates. This value tends to zero so much so that the most BTC that will ever be in circulation has already been printed. Regarding payments, I don't think it is the best method but the development of lighting network is trying to make up for it, however we are far from the performance of other projects, such as SOLANA that is comparable to VISA (statements not mine but of Bank of America):

• Visa processes an average of 1,700 transactions per second, but the network could handle roughly 24,000;
• Bitcoin processes an average of 7 transactions per second, scalable with the lighting network solution;
• Solana processes 65,000 transactions per second, its theoretical limit;
• Hive, I haven't found a reliable source, but for Steem a few years ago they were talking about 100,000 TPS, plus commissions are free...
