Maybe my perspective is different because I spend bitcoin generally speaking, when and where I can. Maybe my perspective is different, but for all the bitcoin 'participants' out there you would think there would be more spending.
Just hodling bitcoin is not enough, especially when NgD because then what is the point if you don't know how to use the network to its full capabilities?
Hodl for the NgD and never spend... Why? Might as well buy AI stocks its all the same at that point.
My point is that convenience and security are tradeoffs... And while things have improved, for daily spending and use hot wallets are 'good enough' if people really go out and use them. A cold card only goes so far... You need access to interact with merchants, use lightning etc and no solution will be "perfect" for all cases its better really get there, learn about lightning and spend.
I still find bitcoin remarkable, most people agree that a lot of places are becoming 'less free' and here's a tool to use alongside Linux for example that puts taxpayer first.
Somehow that message gets watered down which it shouldnt, the bitcoin software/tools are more available than ever.
