Well, my gut feeling is that it is getting further and further away from regular Joe in the street, and it may be eventually just getting concentrated in the hands of the rich classes as a store of value.
Prove me wrong!
How many people in your neighborhood where you live hold or use Bitcoin, probably close to zero. And how many in your own family has recently paid for anything with BTC?
with a very high value at this time it is clear that only a few people who do have large capital / large traders still hold bitcoin, but obviously most of them only hold more altcoins than bitcoin in quantity. but although altcoins, of course, their prices cannot be underestimated by bitcoin prices, of course.
because of the question of how many people hold bitcoin in your environment, I can be sure there must be, maybe not as big as expected. at most even if you only save not more than 1 bitcoin, but if you collect it with several others, you can be sure to be quite high too.
once again it may not be like the big traders who hold more than a lot of value, although maybe the traders are not as many as people think.
