There is a speculative (investment) presence in the current bitcoin discussion scene. Only known and used by a few people.
If bitcoin really wants to become a universal currency payment system, how can we optimize the design for ease of use and make it easy for most people to get started easily and with low risk?
i think that nowadays bitcoin has become more of an investment rather than a payment method, people treat it as if it was any other asset in the market they invest their money in it in order to get profit and they rarely use it for payments, and that is not the image that the creator has dreamed for it, so in order for it to change we have to stop hording it and and start treating it as an actual currency and start accepting it and spending it in the shops and in our daily lives.
Agree, tho, not all of us have the same perspective towards bitcoin and most of us think it as an asset only in the market.
That's why if ever we wanted to improve the usability of bitcoin, we should think of an application where bitcoin is used in our life.
It's like embracing modern technology that we have today since it's an opportunity and let us show that we really admire bitcoin.
