I don't think you're being fair. Yes you are doing something by putting a little money into Bitcoin here and there. You are supporting Bitcoin because you want a better monetary system that isn't based on debt, and isn't confined by borders. When times are lean then it makes sense to stash something valuable away, until it becomes worth more. When the value appreciates again, Bitcoin holders can use their increased purchasing power to support businesses that embrace crypto, rather than cash out. That's what 'many around here' are waiting to do I'm sure.
Buying a bitcoin and doing absolutely nothing with it for 10 years is about as useless to the bitcoin ecosystem as completely ignoring it.
You dont support bitcoin by wanting a "monetary system that isn't based on debt, and isn't confined by borders" .. thats called dreaming. You can support bitcoin by actively seeking out ways that you can integrate bitcoin in your daily life, and maybe provide services to others using bitcoin.
Quite a twisted and erroneous view of economics.
Holders are the ones giving value to the coins.
Ask Rothbard:
Money is just as useful when lying idle in somebodys cash balance, even in a misers hoard. (At what point does a mans cash balance become a faintly disreputable hoard, or the prudent man a miser? It is impossible to fix any definite criterion: generally, the charge of hoarding means that A is keeping more cash than B thinks is appropriate for A.) For that money is being held now in wait for possible future exchangeit supplies to its owner, right now, the usefulness of permitting exchanges at any timepresent or futurethe owner might desire.
