Lately, I've been thinking about it. When Bitcoin was created, one of the main ideas was for people to use it as money. That was it. You send and receive payments without depending on banks or other third parties.
But these days, most Bitcoin holders I come across seem more interested in accumulating and holding than actually spending it. In fact, whenever someone says they used Bitcoin to buy something, the first thing you hear is, "Why spend it now when the price could be higher in the future?"
Sometimes it feels like people now see Bitcoin more as a place to keep value than as something to use for everyday transactions. Many people buy it, store it, and hope it appreciates over time.
I'm not saying Bitcoin is no longer used for payments because there are still very much people and businesses that accept it. But if we're being honest, most of the discussions around Bitcoin today seem to be about holding, stacking sats, and price movements rather than spending it.
you seems to sound as if you do not know how valuable bitoin has become now, back then when people were using it like you said the value was nothing compared to now. i do not know if you can sell your bitcoin simply because you want to purchase something when you have fiat with you, isn't that a waste of time i mean login to your wallet and send bitcoin to someone and most of the people with compromised wallet was due to this, there are people who are so good that if they are close you where you are accessing your wallet they can easily hack it or clone it and gain access to do whatever they like, so i think it is very risky to showcase our wallet when there is bitcoin inside unless you want to show off as most persons will always do and later you will heard such person was kidnapped or they wipe out everything in such person's wallet so it is safe and wise we keep it cool because it is a great asset that you cannot afford to let go...
