There is a lack of people holding, though. Best estimates are around 100M (~1% of world pop.) people holding bitcoin. The amount with any substantial holdings is probably much less.

Normal people aren’t going to hold it if they can’t use it

Yeah but how many of these 100m (according to you) actually use it as a currency? Barely anybody

Not according to me.
I agree, barely anybody. So it's not a demand bottleneck, it's a supply. Supply being the number of holders with any significant amount that it's worth it to spend. If you're living on anything less than a personal bitcoin standard, it's probably not worth spending your corn as your a pure accumulator.
