Atleast now we have several merchants that accepts bitcoin locally and internationally, it just so happened that we are facing a crisis right now and they are not operating.
You say several? Have you ever bothered to look at how much that actually is in numbers? Definitely more than 1000, and if you don't believe me, check out the following link :

Well having it as a currency and a store of value increases the risk from it's volatility. Just not a good idea for me.
BTC has always been volatile, you can't just change it because you do not like it. You always have the choice to use it however you want, or to find something less volatile.
1. This topic is targeted at HODLers. If you are a non believer or if it's your understanding that Bitcoin has failed, that's fine. But fight your wars in their appropriate topics. Don't hijack this one.
If you meant holders, then you should know that they believe in BTC, how they can think BTC has failed? This topic is (as many others) attacked by hardfact troll, so next time check option "Self moderated thread" so you can delete any post. There is also a option to lock this thread.
