I really think those of us who hang out on SN have a warped sense of the willingness of bitcoiners to spend their bitcoin. I have made an effort to meet local bitcoiners, and they have all looked at me as crazy when I say I want to spend my bitcoin. It's understandable. Sats are precious, while dollars are unlimited.

Its something I've been saying and many have been saying for a while. Saving is the more important feature of bitcoin for most people. That will the case until it isn't. At a certain point it won't be. When? No one knows.

Saving is ok. But what do you do to eat? Or buy anything that you really need? Do you still use $ ?

Sats are precious but paradoxically there always be enough of them to pay for things. Even if it’s a fraction of a sat we can still use it for payment, only the price will go up.
