Most of our community is focused only on potential financial gains. Very few care about the technology or how the future of Bitcoin will look like. The most important thing for such people is profit. People who use Bitcoin as a currency help it to succeed. I'm also a hodler but I try to encourage others to use Bitcoin and I do it between friends if they or I owe them money.

And I think you can't blame these people for what they are. The leopard can't change his spots, right? You can't force people to use cryptocurrencies as a currency. It is not fiat which you can't avoid using whether you like it or not as you have to pay taxes with it, in the very least. So the only option to actually make people use bitcoin or whatever as a means of payment is to make it more useful and convenient as compared to fiat. Yes, people who use bitcoin as a currency help it to succeed as a currency but it makes no sense if they are using it just because they want it to succeed as such. In order to be truly successful, it should be better on its own, in and of itself.
