I think storing is not against the bitcoin alrotugh its not pretty good for the economy a lot of people are doing this because if the fact that the bitcoin is gonna rise in its price.
This price increase is because of the halving and people are waiting on it because of that.
We should not forget the bitcoin primarily is a currency and if everyone store or hoard currency itself,its going to cause inflation.Holding definitely gives price some stability but it is an hindrance in bitcoin becoming mainstream
