People are spending bitcoins on my site though I do find it to be faster when the price is dropping.

Every BTC I have mined/bought I have spent. In addition, I am selling goods for BTC. Get your OM NOM NOM on over here.
Those who hoard it would do well to spend and stimulate the budding BTC economy.

as we all know bitcoins' supply is finite, so everyone out of greed hoard the things. they don't spend it at all, like a currency is supposed to be used for and so it will never become mainstream.
Wait and see. The moment people can expect new bitcoins flowing in with the paycheck each month, there be spendin'

Are you still doing the NewEgg thing for bitcoin? I'll be in the market for some new gear in the not-to-distant future. Contrary to the deflation/hoarding stuff we hear around here all the time, seems to me people are doing more bitcoin-for-goods-and-services transactions around here than ever.
I would be happy to.

My vendors are now BEGGING me to pay them in bitcoins, and I am gladly doing just that!
Really? That's phenomenal!
Not all of them yet, but more and more each week. One of them is considering starting his own RMB to Bitcoin currency exchange too!
Getting real busineses using bitcoins for day to day transactions is they key to bitcoin's long term success.

Bitcoins are available to buy. Your assertion is wrong.
Hoarders reduce supply, which means supply and demand balance at a different (higher) price. They always balance though.
That price may be seen at mt.gox. Where you will find a volume considerably greater than zero for sale.
I'm pretty sure that what you mean is "boo hoo, Bitcoins were cheaper last week and I wish I'd bought more then". Me too. Cry me a river.
