Taking it a step further by demanding from the rest of the world to behave same way you do and expect to all follow is unrealistic.
I agree, which is why I'm not demanding that everyone go out and spend their bitcoin. As I said above, everyone is free to use bitcoin as they like, and one of the great things about bitcoin is precisely that everyone is free to use it in any way they see fit without influence or control from external third parties. But that doesn't mean I can't lament that a lot of people are only here because they heard crypto will make them rich.

Well, having just one person in the whole community that is holding his Bitcoin and not selling it is not going to affect the market.
Sure, but what about if everyone just held their bitcoin and never transacted with it or used it for anything? What is going to drive adoption and growth if nobody is using bitcoin for anything? Why would bitcoin have value if I can't spend it anywhere or for anything?
