That reminds me of how exchanges and other services boasted about how many account registrations they had in the last x number of months.

...and that reminds me of that Well Fargo scandal a couple years ago where they got caught signing up 1000's of clients for accounts they (WF) used to perform their own transactions, without the clients knowledge (let alone applying for Undecided

)

savers are just as legitimate as spenders in this economic model.

or in any economic model

the fact is, I and other BTC holders are not just speculating on Bitcoin's future, we're speculating on the USD's future too, USD holders are doing the same thing the other way around. We're looking at the world and predicting a changed future, dollar holders are predicting the future will be similar to the recent past. Both are speculative, as no-one knows what the outcome will be. Maybe both will last forever, maybe they'll both be outrun by some other currency.
