An interesting quote from the article about the HODLers:
......The catch-22 is people buy Bitcoins because they think the price will go to infinity and beyond once everybody uses them, but they don't spend their own Bitcoins because they think the price will go to infinity and beyond once everybody else uses them. And so nobody uses them.
But if nobody uses them, then the price will stay stuck at something a lot less than infinity let alone beyond. So the Bitcoin faithful have tried to not only convert people, but also convince them to martyr themselves, financially-speaking, for the crypto cause.....
I was going to quote this as well. It honestly has some truth to it. It's what almost everyone wants the concept of bitcoin to be. "I hold it, 10 years from now, I'll be rich".
This isn't the concept of what bitcoin should be about. I feel like some of the "get rich" type of investors will circle around bitcoin like sharks and give people that type of notion about it that Bitcoin is just some investment scheme hoping to one day crash fiat. I do feel he's exaggerating though on title.
