Yeah another stupid person who is holding his coins for ever i dont understand peopel who are holding their coins for years i dont
think you know how the bitcoin works but there are allot of you people.
Got to agree, if its not allready obvious then if we had every bitcoin user just hold and do nothing else the worth of bitcoin would be zero. Somebody has to be willing to exchange.
The very first users knew this was true, remember that tale of the first pizza sold for 1000 bitcoin or whatever high figure it was. The seller of that pizza didnt have a massive reason to take bitcoin, to him it was almost giving it away for free because btc was so unknown. But he took the first step to try encourage others to do the same. If that hasnt been written up it should be so we people understand.
Bitcoin today has a market capitalisation, its the total worth of all bitcoin; all the coins added up and each user is affected by market worth. That market is expanded by trade, by users exchanging goods and using bitcoin. If the market is everyone holds coins and hopes to sell then worth is falling, its called monetary velocity and it appears to real money to so far as I know
Read the example here -

$10 of bitcoin held unused is worth $10
$10 of bitcoin earnt and spent and recycled around our BTC economy 7 times for goods or simple tasks is worth $70 so bitcoin gets bigger.
Its the same coins each time we use them but they become worth more because we made them so useful with this goods sale or tasks worked for.
never use bitcoin? expect to be waiting a very long time
