It wasn't meant as just a SOV, "number go up" system. This is the beauty of it though... it does work in exquisite ways. But it was also intended as a P2P anonymous money system...

I'm not saying there's ONE way only to correctly use and participate in Bitcoin... but merchant adoption seems to have been a seriously lagging aspect of it.

Lots of hodlers, lots of crypto bros, lots of nOiSe... but not a whole lot of merchant adoption, unfortunately.

Bitcoin is a SOV and a number go up system. But it's also P2P money/cash.

Use it as such!!!!!!
