The correlation of stable coins does not mean much because conversions are only for a stable price level, but bitcoin cannot be based solely on saving it, because bitcoin conversion activities always support value growth. there are many holders who prioritize the possibility of bitcoin is no longer the best crypto in the future, so the activity must continue to be carried out always balanced in both functions.

we know that most of the holders of bitcoin only use bitcoin as an investment tool to make more fiat money. they do not use bitcoin as a means of payment because indeed some countries in the world also have not legalized bitcoin as a means of payment. and also quite difficult to be able to find a store or company that is willing to accept bitcoin as a payment tool. if I live in a country that legalizes bitcoin, of course I will use bitcoin. therefore we as part of the bitcoin community we must always spread good news about bitcoin so that bitcoin can be accepted by the government and bitcoin can be adopted en masse.
Yes we need to accept the fact that bitcoin is not used as a mode of payment or payment transfer as there are other altcoins which offers lightening fast translations with lesser transaction fee than bitcoin which has reduced bitcoin just as a source of investment which is not exactly the principle on which bitcoin was created by Satoshi Nakamoto but as you rightly mentioned there are challenges to use bitcoin in real time due legal issues which will be sorted out once we have more adaptability.

What you're saying is undoubtly true. However, how are you going to convince people to do this? It's easy enough to say it, but it's another thing completely for actual, practical use of BTC to be fostered. I think that one of the most important things right now is the fact that people are only accepting BTCs through merchants - as opposed to accepting it directly through an integrated BTC accepting protocol. These merchants are essentially middlemen that we were supposed to eliminate in the first place, like Bitpay or whatever. That introduces the fiat part of the equation back into BTC, and makes no sense.

'Keeping it' is not also the best option to utilize the use of bitcoin. Just like with fiat, it's not really that ideal to collsct money because they have to be in the circulation. And with bitcoin, bitcoin won't work if we're just keeping it. It has to be used in transactions. Though it's really not the purpose of bitcoin, converting it to fiat, but it cannot really support everyone since there's no enough stores accepting bitcoin so we have to adjust to it.

We can never make a conclusion on what are the things that you need to do with your bitcoin. I think it would be better if we consider the fact that the things that you do with your bitcoin should rely on what's happening on the present. You cannot stick to one strategy knowing that there are a lot of things going on in the crypto market everyday. There are times where we need to hold our bitcoin and there are also times where we should use it in transactions and investment so that things will be set in balance.

There are certain factors that is necessary for this situation to work what you are talking about , not every country is Bitcoins friendly , not everywhere the government is so flexible , not everywhere it is legal to even keep them . What else could you do. ? In any country there are very limited things that you can do using the Bitcoins and keeping them is the only option left with them.
These limitations are there because the project is still a new one and as we progress in the use of bitcoin personally which will make it to expand, I believe that those countries will start becoming very friendly and if you see those countries that are cryptocurrency friendly now, they did not just become friendly, they were all at a point too once against the use of cryptocurrency which we can see that they finally gave in to it after seeing that it has lots of benefit to the economic and to their citizens. It is only authoritative government that I see not accepting the use of cryptocurrency which I think we only have very few of them and even if all the bigger countries are accepting it, they might not get to accept it at any time now or in the near future.

People need to start accepting Bitcoin and keeping it, not converting it.
You have no idea how many companies actually do this. I mean their Bitcoin trade is only 1% to 5% of total money they got from their company. They can easily not sell it and keep it as savings account for worse times or retirement plan. They don't pay taxes for it until they sell Bitcoin, but they can write costs off business.

Holding it and saving the value? well, you can't dictate the needs and wants of bitcoin holders. We can choose and use it whenever we want for purpose like trading or using it for purchasing products from different merchants. If many are starting to convert it for any purpose they have, it's their choice because they own it. FedCoin, the Chinese Cryptocurrency, etc will be the future, and as you say, BITCOIN WILL SLOWLY FADE AWAY.
What? seriously? How many times have we heard about this?

Bitcoin have feature than other fiat currency because inflation price of bitcoin self, other fiat currency always have inflation value although you hold for long term and several years later, but with bitcoin as fiat currency you can increase your earning when bitcoin price have goes up, always recommended using bitcoin as fiat currency.

Bitcoin is not meant to kept or hodl but a peer to peer P2P virtual currency meant for transactions if you read Satoshi whitepaper you would understand better, some bitcoin hodlers nowadays are having the impression that bitcoin is to be used as a store of value thus for any pump in the price they sell off part or the whole coin.

From 2013 I have seen many articles over the internet to adopt the Bitcoin and blockchain technology but actual fact and truth is acceptance over cryptocurrency are very low in the public market. Maybe IATA value investors can support the cryptocurrency mode of payment means we can find the Bitcoin at all the corners in the world.

Everyone has their own goals, needs, strategies and principles in dealing with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. We cannot force it, of course. Although holding bitcoin provides a good opportunity, but everyone has different passions, there are those who prefer quick and spontaneous profits, for example for trading, some are on the contrary that makes it a long-term investment, some have to sell their BTC to fulfil life, many problems. Of course, we agree that BTC is very valuable for the future, no need to worry about its popularity, no need to be afraid if we understand the risks and mentally prepare for it. So, whether or not it depends on the benefit of each individual in using it for the welfare of life, can not be generalized.

Indeed, bitcoin's price is always fluctuating unlike fiat, so it's could be good if we use it and also save a part of our earning of bitcoin because we can even earn more in the future when bitcoin's price go up. It's a very good crypto while we're talking about the price of each coin also when we're talking about the long term investment.

As of right now people are using Bitcoin as a placeholder for things like gold, silver, ect. I don't think bitcoin has the framework to be used in day to day transactions. You look at Visa which processes millions of transactions a day and compare it to Bitcoin. The network can't handle that amount of volume, especially when factoring confirmation times. I don't think people are under utilizing BTC. It's a matter of the fact that BTC can't handle the load.

I am afraid that the "value" will weak and investor interest then disappears ,trade will be quiet because all traders using the method hodl too ,I think contributions trade sector will make the "value" become a high as now ,looking for value with a hodl might be a good but if everyone hodl then who will sell bitcoin and vice versa? resources not all have high and equal income so we are struggling to find that value as traders
The system behind the price of bitcoin depends upon the value that the investors are willing to purchase such. People have been considering it as a good store-of-value but if we treat it entirely as a means of exchange then the value might really decrease in the long-run. Like what most people have mentioned, an investment is an investment that is meant to be kept for long-term (or short-term depending on the need to use it). As of right now people are using Bitcoin as a placeholder for things like gold, silver, ect. I don't think bitcoin has the framework to be used in day to day transactions. You look at Visa which processes millions of transactions a day and compare it to Bitcoin. The network can't handle that amount of volume, especially when factoring confirmation times. I don't think people are under utilizing BTC. It's a matter of the fact that BTC can't handle the load.
One of the reasons on why people use it for transactions is because of its decentralized nature on which the government cannot track down the transactions. Its inherent nature becomes incidental to the usage of people using it for day-to-day transactions.

plus high costs make bitcoin more suitable for use as an investment, maybe if stablecoin is suitable for transactions. so indeed every technology has its own place for its use

I don't think bitcoin has the framework to be used in day to day transactions. For this to happen we need to develop further and zero confirmation is needed if you are planning to shift completely to BTCitcoin for daily transactions You look at Visa which processes millions of transactions a day and compare it to Bitcoin. The network can't handle that amount of volume, especially when factoring confirmation times. The major difference between Visa and Master card is that they are not a currency but an intermediary between banks and merchants and the comparison is not they way we should do as these are two different things, but it would be great if there is a scaling solution that could reach those levels. I don't think people are under utilizing BTC. It's a matter of the fact that BTC can't handle the load.
There is under utilization when it comes to international trade and commerce and export and import businesses could take advantage of BTCitcoin to send currencies world wide without the help of a third party nor any conversion charges, so they could make a huge profit on that too.
