Spot on and I don't think that will ever change, it's why I see bitcoin as becoming more in line with gold that is spendable. It won't be used as a daily currency but more for one off purchases etc. Unless the price was relatively stable this will always be the case.
Bitcoins price would never ever be stable which means we would really able to stay on the range on where bitcoin can really be compared and treated just much as gold.You can stop those people who do hold for the sake of profits for long term since they do know the capacity and capability of bitcoin when it comes to rising prices where they dont even think on that coins should circulate for it to progress even more.
