In my opinion, I think we will be stuck in one price or maybe worse we will all go down.

Here is what happened when US citizens are saving too much.

That's important because American spenders make up the majority -- about 70% -- of economic activity in the country. If people don't spend, the economy doesn't grow.

The price will go down because people will lose interest in bitcoin if it happens. That is why though it is good to hold bitcoin, it is still hurting its economy if no bitcoin is used for purchase. It is good if there is more merchandisers that will adopt bitcoin so that more will be encourage to use and spend bitcoins.
It is a finite currency and I think it will still hold value if no one uses it. It would be a store of value, just like gold. If the reason that people are not using bitcoin is because they are holding it, then I think that will drive the price up because many would want to get a hold of something that continuously increase in value.

BTC is only worth what people think its worth though, its not physical like gold but its anonymous unlike fiat, if people stop spending then the value is bound to fall. However since there are so many people interested in BTC, when it falls people are likely to buy in thinking that this may be their last shot to which will bring the price up and most likely relight the spending/buying cycle.
