Bitcoin was always supposed to be digital cash. It even says so in the original white paper title.

Where did this myth start that we need to 'let this go'?

No one uses cash at starbucks. It's all phones, credit cards and debit cards. Try and buy a beer on a plane. They don't take cash. So saying it's like digital cash is a little outdated at this point. We're dealing with digital gold.

LOL. I definitely use cash at Starbucks, but I realize I'm in the minority here. I do agree with OP that it is better to use fiat, because I *think* bitcoin is going up. We're not exactly in the 10,000 btc/pizza era anymore, but we're still going up. Why spend digital gold?

Edit: hey, you're a hero member now, congrats!

Correct, I don't know why do people want to use bitcoin as long as they can spend it on buying or other stuffs that doesn't need for bitcoin to be used, like buying coffee? don't you think that buying coffee using bitcoin means you are throwing away your profit, and I am sure that you are trying to impress everybody that Hey, I'm a bitcoin users, I could buy anything I want with bitcoin something like this?

NO, as long as we can use fiat then there is no reason for us to use our bitcoin, unless just like what I've said, you are trying to impress everybody, because for me, it is such a waste of money if we are going to spend our bitcoin in this common things that could be bought by fiat.
