Well I think it’s Mises definition but his interpretation.

Are you hurting adoption? No. And yes.

Bitcoin needs to be used as a medium of exchange - buying goods and services - in addition to being a store of value. So your are not hurting it as you are proving it’s use.

I would suggest that since it is currently measured against the dollar and in a hodl environment it is more appealing as a store of value. Selling it suppresses the price. You are hurting it

Direct medium of exchange (goods for BTC) will come in time and hopefully accompany a more stable price.

Ultimately Bitcoin doesn’t seem to care what ‘we’ do so I wouldn’t take anything I say as having any impact whatsoever.
