There is logic in this headline, economy grows when money is circulating all the time. All this bitcoin services, shops, sites will not have for what to work. People need to see bitcoin as a tool to buy what ever they wish, and to do with their money what they want. If we don`t show to them who will, I also think that bitcoins need to be spend.
I still don`t save nothing, I spend all I earn here on many things, my bitcoins are working all the time, and for me that is a fun way to spend a day with bitcoins. I suggest to people to save until they have enough to buy something nice for them, that is a good way to tell merchants that is smart to start accepting bitcoin.
May be it is against bitcoin, I have no idea but in my view I would say that Satoshi had not set any rules and regulations for bitcoin he just released for public and we are using it there is no terms and conditions in bitcoin. It's free to use and freedom to do anything as we want it's all up to us. But holding bitcoin helps to increase price but the downside is that poor people can't afford to buy bitcoin when price is increased.
Op has a point to spend bitcoins to keep the amount in market circulation, I do agree to spend it if you have more than
BTC2 for example or you could earned
BTC1 per month. it's fair to spend bitcoins so all the merchants and companies keep on bitcoin business as a payment method and we used bitcoin as usually we spend fiat money, at least that's the idea of digital currency invented right?
