When was the last time you sent BTC to someone as electronic cash to pay for something (an item, a service, etc.)?
Every day of the year and the volume has been in the millions of dollars.
Here is an example of a small case I saw on reddit last night:
Bitcoin and lightning have just done something fiat couldn’t for meI feel nowadays people just buy and HODL and the price keeps on going up only because less and less BTC are available on the market, being HODL by people.
If you hang out in a bar every day you will soon start thinking that everyone in the world is an alcoholic.
Stop hanging out in "speculation forums" where everyone only talks about price and how they HODL to become rich and start looking around for merchants whether online and offline and see how adoption (as a currency) has grown so much in recent years.
