Storing bitcoin is against bitcoin?, there arent any rules about this and bitcoin is for the people not for the government.
Bitcoin users can do what ever they want with their bitcoin hold it store it or what ever they want.
Bitcoin is here for us u are right, what we will do with that is our thing to decide. But is it better to store or spend it? If u spend your coins for buying things u make bitcoin economy grow, what is the point of storing if u cant use it later to buy something?
In long run i think its better to spend it, when store owners see that they can earn on that they will start to accept coins more and more.
I would like to see that happen, bitcoin accepted all over the world in many stores, restaurants, bar's.. can u imagine something like that?
