Most currencies suffer from inflation: it's more interesting to buy now than later because your wealth will go down with time.

BTC with its fixed supply works the opposite direction, devoid of inflation: you'd rather keep your BTC as a store of value that will increase, than spend it on goods you can still buy later for fewer BTC.

QED. It's designed as a good store of value, not a good medium of exchange which people want to spend.
I should have added "I agree" ;-)
