I could sell someone a rock for $100,000 if they find "worth" and have the resources to purchase it.
If someone is willing to hold a bitcoin and not get rid of it because it has "worth" to them, then I am all for that.
Agree with all of the above, and I would point out that nobody is clamoring for people to start using diamonds or gold for purchases because they're afraid those things will disappear if people don't. Bitcoin has value as an investment and people
could use it to pay for things if they so chose. It isn't necessary that they actually do.
I have no fear whatsoever that bitcoin's popularity will decrease if it doesn't get used as a form of money. It really hasn't been used much for purchases in the ten years it's existed, so where's the danger? It's a valuable thing that gets traded on exchanges and if that's the only thing it ever does from now until the day it dies, that's fine with me.
If you think of Bitcoin as just a virtual placeholder for fiat currency, stable coins will be the future and Bitcoin will slowly fade away.
It's not a placeholder, though. Nor is it a stablecoin, and it probably isn't ever going to become one unless its value seriously stabilizes--and I don't think that's going to happen.
