There's probably some of that, and certainly on SN too. Still, in the past few years I have made a point of meeting bitcoiners in person, some of whom are very technically savvy and have been hodling for years, and many of them don't want to spend bitcoin either. They look at me like I'm a fool. Stacker News is the only community I have found that doesn't have that attitude and encourages people to spend. I don't get it. Granted, my sample size is not enormous.
