I see a lot of people that are hoarding 100% of their bitcoins, because they believe cutting off the supply, would be enough to increase the price.

Would it not be better, if we increased the demand by increasing Bitcoin awareness and convincing more merchants to offer Bitcoin payments?

A 100% hoarding strategy is more harmful, because it cancels all the good work that was done to get merchants to accept Bitcoin as a payment option. A merchant will stop accepting Bitcoin, if their is no demand or transactions being generated for their business from the Bitcoin payment side.

We should actively encourage local merchants to start accepting bitcoins and then we should start supporting them.

Just buy back the bitcoins that you spend and you will be fine or use money that you would not have hoarded and buy the goods or service with bitcoins.

Adopt a 80% hoarding and 20% spending strategy and we will see a massive increase in Bitcoin adoption  Cool  
When people hold a lot of Bitcoins it will prevent manipulation just like someone once said… but if there are lots of people selling out their Bitcoins, it will lead to a huge drop in the price of that particular cryptocurrency creating a chance for ‘Pumpers’ (who are usually a group of investors working together) to get in and buy at a very cheaper rate and raise the price to higher rate and once it’s up they will dump it again.

These people don’t get chance when there are lots of people holding. But don’t forget that this pump is a way for many people to make profit from crypto.
