Is it a sign of success that people keep holding bitcoins as a store of value rather than spending it or a failure at becoming widely use currency?
Are you saying there will always be demand for Bitcoin; without supply ? I don't think that is possible; because no one would want to hold onto their Bitcoin forever, and they would inevitably sell it eventually.

Furthermore, Bitcoin still has the potential to become a primary currency in the future, and it is already widely used in various places where buying and selling is available. So, I think Bitcoin usage will be balanced; in terms of spending, and holding. Additionally, maybe future generations will use Bitcoin more for transactions, or spending; rather than just holding, right ?

The only way someone will hodl Bitcoin and not eventually spend it is if they die an untimely death and no other person can access the Bitcoin, everybody that hodl Bitcoin is hodling for the purpose of spending it in one way or the other, or maybe keeping it for someone that will definitely spend it in the future, even if that will be in the next fifty years.

Come to think of it what's the actual need of hodling if your not going use it to purchase some luxury that you like, or go for that dream vacation?.

Are you saying there will always be demand for Bitcoin; without supply ? I don't think that is possible; because no one would want to hold onto their Bitcoin forever, and they would inevitably sell it eventually.

Even if other people hoard Bitcoin, the demand for it won't automatically diminish.  As long as there is a soul that want to buy Bitcoin, the demand will always be there. Unless Bitcoin become worthless, Bitcoin will always have demand on the trading market, and i do not think that the supply will be cut off by those who hoard it.  remember there is still block rewards and miners, from time to time, need to cash out in order to have budget for their mining maintenance.

Furthermore, Bitcoin still has the potential to become a primary currency in the future, and it is already widely used in various places where buying and selling is available. So, I think Bitcoin usage will be balanced; in terms of spending, and holding. Additionally, maybe future generations will use Bitcoin more for transactions, or spending; rather than just holding, right ?

It is more likely that Bitcoin will have more potential as an alternative currency.  This is a world is governed by centralized institutions, and Bitcoin being decentralized by nature would have a very difficult challenge to be a primary currency.
