Many people say Bitcoin is "digital gold" and prefer to HODL, waiting for the price to rise.

But if a large percentage of holders keep stacking and rarely spend their BTC, what will drive everyday circulation in the future?

My thought is that the network works because different people have different goals. Some hold long term, some take profits, some spend, and new buyers keep entering the market. That constant flow creates circulation.

Do you think Bitcoin can become a widely used currency while many people continue to treat it as a long-term store of value? Or will spending only increase after adoption becomes much larger?

Curious to hear different perspectives.

We Still Early ₿🚀🌍🚀

I’m using this dip as a chance to slowly keep stacking Bitcoin over time.

Nothing aggressive, just consistent small buys and staying patient through the volatility.

Feels better for me than trying to predict short-term moves.

How are others approaching it right now — steady accumulation or waiting on the sidelines?

How are you approaching Bitcoin during this dip?

BTC moves fast, but the long game is still the same.
Are you buying now, DCA’ing, or sitting on the sidelines?

Still stacking BTC or waiting for a dip?

Bitcoin at $77K and the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve update is coming "in the coming weeks" according to White House advisor Patrick Witt. If announced, BTC could pump to $100K+. U.S. holds 328K BTC (~$25B) and hasn't sold any — just holding. VanEck predicts Bitcoin = 2026's top performer after lagging 50% in 2025.

Stackers, what's your prediction?
- Will SBR be announced within 30 days?
- Do you think Bitcoin will hit $100K by end of 2026?
- Are you buying, holding, or selling at these prices?

Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Update Coming Soon — Could BTC Hit $100K?

Feels like more people are using Bitcoin for saving than spending now. Is that where it was always heading?
