I love Andreas Antonopoulos. Having said this, he recently said something in one episode of his podcast that surprised me. He was talking about living on Bitcoin and he said that he HODLs his BTC and basically spends only USD. He gets paid in all different fiat, and he spends this fiat for his daily life. When he can, he buys more BTC and HODL.
While I understand that many of us HODL, isn't this just wrong for the future of BTC. First, Satoshi created BTC as a currency. It is intended to be spent. Second, if everyone HODL and nobody spends BTC, isn't this becoming just a pyramid scheme?
Although bitcoin has been created to be a replacement for current failing and ever so inflated finical system that has been always controlled by the government, but that idea has been started to fade away little by little ever since bitcoin started to reach some high prices, bitcoin has become just an asset and a way to make some quick and big profit for the majority of the new people who are investing it, and i am sure the majority of them if asked about what is the concept of bitcoin is they will just say its a digital currency and yet they don't use it as a currency and they don't even know the reason behind it.
