Totally agree with @Kakamakr
With other words, i am against hodl'ers, by bitcoin definition title " Bitcoin:A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System " not a peer-to-store of value
I understand what you are trying to say but your logic is flawed.
Bitcoin is a cash system and it is cash but it also has limited supply which makes it a store of value.
If you knew your FIAT money was going to gain value every day, every month without stopping would you spend it? If you knew that $50k would buy you 2 houses next year while it is not enough to buy 1 house today? (You can replace FIAT with gold, btc, ltc, doge or anything. The answer will be the same) If you say "yes" to this question then you must be retarded.
Bitcoin is just like that. People know that it is going to go up so they don't want to spend it. Any one says the otherwise is a liar.
Buyers shouldn't convince the sellers. It is the sellers who must insist on taking bitcoins as a payment. Read my first message at the beginning of this topic. This is how you raise awareness. If you are not a seller or a business owner there isn't much you can make about it.
A btc user/hodler should only think about raising his bitcoin amounts just like the seller should. And the seller has an advantage in this situation. If the seller accepts only bitcoin, then the buyer will have no choice but hand over his precious bitcoins to the seller. When the buyer spends his bitcoins, he is going to buy more to fill up his stash again.
TLDR; you are asking the wrong question.
The question should be:
"How many customers have you convinced to spend their bitcoins?"No, the question is specifically targeted to the
Merchants for a reason. No matter how long you hoard or how many coins you buy, it eventually needs a Merchant network for you to spend it. A lot of us do not want to continuously convert to fiat currencies to spend our bitcoins. The merchants accepting Bitcoin as a payment option is
very important, if you look at the bigger picture. < A picture, where fiat currencies are replaced by Bitcoin >
Once we create the "use case" and the
alternative option, then people will have a choice. A few years ago, this choice became very important, because governments applied pressure to payment companies, to stop payments to sites like WikiLeaks and BackPage and Bitcoin was there to help these people, by offering them a alternative to these payment options.
Do you see the bigger picture now?
