I went to a bitcoin meetup in my town (I'm going every few weeks for almost 2 years)
Because the market is rising now I somehow got into a talk with like 8 people about what they did recently or plan to do with their bitcoins.
All of them didn't touch their portfolio since the beginning of 2018
They didn't even use it for a small transaction.
there is a topic that always someone mentions and that's 'Why would I use bitcoin to buy something today when in two months from now my bitcoin might worth double'
I don't use my bitcoins as well and in some way, I think that the hodl approach is hurting us. I would like to know what the community here thinks.
Interesting fact - I often meet the signs "we accept bitcoin" at the points of street food. Does anyone really buy hotdogs for bitcoins? All my friends just do not. They consider cryptocurrency a long-term investment. I disagree. A long-term investment is a real estate. And bitcoin is a big purchase.
