The idea of such stark disparity between people who have bitcoin and those who do not is pretty interesting (need to go to work so they don't suspect) -- I enjoyed that. But i struggled a little with the idea of hodling harder. I mean, I wonder what would happen to bitcoin if nobody sold it at all for a year or two (my suspicion is that people would sell it). Also, I was a little unclear why these all powerful OG's could dictate what everyone else could do with their bitcoin. And finally, when the OG's send down the dictum that the narrator can sell, what is he selling for? fiat? or trading directly for goods and services?
So in the hypothetical world, there is a cascading movement to hodl. And the few who sell eventually sell to those who hodl, so the BTC dry up faster and faster. So when he can finally sell, in my scenario, he sells for airport tickets. I imagine it would be like seeing a gold bug pay at the airport with a gold bar.

It's a cool image! I would have loved a "zoomed in" scene describing that interaction!
