Re: [Discussion]How to decentralize the price of the bitcoin? Self-moderated.
I plan on writing more on topic about this, but to anyone that argues that Satoshi's vision was to create Bitcoin to be a currency and not an asset... Sorry, but that's not a valid argument to use to implicate that Bitcoin should be used solely as a currency.
Take actual fiat currency, for example. It's made (literally) as a currency. Does that mean I need to spend it all and not hold any in savings, stocks, bonds, 401k, etc.? Just because Satoshi's vision of Bitcoin was intended to operate as a currency doesn't mean that we can't HODL, and I think it's about time everyone stopped using this as an argument as to what's slowing down Bitcoin's progress.

The Satoshi's vision to create Bitcoin as a currency is a valid argument. He didn't create a cryptocurrency to become an asset. This is valid for Bitcoin but not only, for all the previous digital currencies created before Bitcoin
Of course, we don't deny you can save/hold some coins like we do with a saving account in fiat but there is a difference between HODL 100% of your income and using your paycheck or coins for your daily needs and save what you can save at the end of the month.
If people are hoping to get a cryptocurrency and its advantages to be able to use it in their investment portfolio and don't really care about the purpose of it then it's not going to work as it's supposed to be
