Right, but that use case could be enough to see the price continue to increase. Gold is also generally used as a store of value. The average person hasn't been going into a store using gold to buy things in the US in more than 100 years. But gold's market cap (~ $17T) is still greater than Bitcoin (~$2T). So, if Bitcoin is a better store of value than gold (debatable), then the price still has plenty of room to grow.
