OK so that headline isn't exactly accurate.  I read an article about Bitcoin Friday where the founder or organizer or whatever said that 78% of Bitcoins weren't being used and something had to be done about it.  Hence Bitcoin Friday.  I'm glad at least that the "something being done about it" was encouraging people to act of their own free accord to spend Bitcoins as opposed to suggesting we rewrite the code to create a use'm or loose'm type system.

But here's my point.  Isn't savings a good thing?

  I understand why it's bad for the group.
