If one doesn't spend their crypto for purchases and wait for to spend their crypto when its price is nice, are they really considering it as a cryptocurrency or can we assume like those people are treating more like a security or investment instrument?
I think the willingness to spend crypto currency and use it to buy goods & services, varies among individuals, and depends on number of factors, such as their belief in long term stability & growth of crypto currency & its security system & their overall financial situation. Some people may view it as speculative investment & only spend it when necessary, while others may use it for everyday purchase. Ultimately, how someone chooses to use it, depends on his views about crypto currency and financial goals.
Good point, we do have different perspective in terms of usages some is for investment while for believers they will use it as form of alternative way to purchase and to use for their needs, decision making will depend from how the market will established the good side of crypto, and like with ow you observe there are people who use it for quick investment and a form of daily or weekly short term potential money making tool.
