there is no point in spending coins if people don't need to buy anything. beside that, lower price is not motivating people to spend, a high price does.
Price dips just means one thing.. and that is go buy some more. Good thing there still a price dip. With the current hype many people thinks that it will now go forward. So now take this chance to buy more as we don't know if there still a price dip month before halving.
i have bought enough coins last year so for me the need to buy more isn't there unless the price dips below $400 which i don't think will happen. i can simply sit back and enjoy watching the price go up. but yes, you're right. people should start buying directly if the price goes down.
Spending bitcoins right now is just not smart with the future a head.
If we just keep holding our bitcoins everything will be alright and we will make profit.
