Interesting and valid points! What I can conclude from the entire thread is that we need to use bitcoin more as a payment solution instead of holding it as an investment. Correct you are and I would personally love to spend some of my bitcoins as a payment solution instead of fiat. However, we don't have much options available. While a lot of online freelancers accept bitcoin for their services, it is very hard to find an offline shop or merchants accepting it. If we can't use bitcoin for our daily expenses like grocery shopping, cab fare, public transport expenses, the kind of usage we are thinking, will remains as dreams only. Unless and until the governments provide a proper legal framework for crypto payments, we won't see the change! So it is really not dependent on us, it depends on the governments and their good will. In Japan and Germany, you can use bitcoin for your daily expenses because their governments recognized it as a legal form of payment. There's very little we can do without the regulatory help if we really want to encourage mass adoption of crypto.

I really don't want to discourage you, but that's what I feel is true!
