If everybody is hoarding it's not a healthy market. You need heavy volume to see rise in price (and also big pullbacks). If nobody had sold since the early days, price would still be at 10 cents.

The problem with hoarding is that people don't invest their btc in businesses and technologies around bitcoin.
They just hoard and wait for the miracle to happen.

Exactly. And it could damage the concept of bitcoin.

You can't stop hoarding, or trust people not to hoard. If they hoard it's because of the inherent structure of bitcoin and its relationship to human nature. The concept of bitcoin doesn't get damaged by hoarders. The concept of bitcoin involves hoarding as a natural part of it.

I'm not saying bitcoin is perfect.
