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.

Its whether or not the next person wants to buy your coin, and for how much, is what gives them value. Not the holder.
If there is no utility, no infrastructure and no potential then there is no market.

There is utility, it's called a store of value with rather unique properties. Bitcoin grew to 3B$ market cap with little utility & infrastructure.

It's really simple, Bitcoin is money and as such as more capital is trusted into it (holders) the higher its value is so it's absolutely wrong to pretend that "buying a bitcoin and doing absolutely nothing with it for 10 years is useless".
