We only need ordinary people like you and me to start using Bitcoin in any way each person would like.

Bitcoin is a movement that attracts "The Cabal" to where the people are. Currently, we now have Black Rock and the largest asset managers having investments in Bitcoin, and Trump and other politicians talking seriously about Bitcoin. Ten years ago suggesting that that would happen would be laughable.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I usually say that I am against HODLing but that doesn't mean I only see the downsides of HODLing and nothing positive. When I say that I am against hodling, I mean that in order for Bitcoin to be successful and massively adopted, it has to be in circulation and massive usage. If we hodl and do nothing, no good or service will be created and it will kill Bitcoin, hodling won't magically make it go to the moon.

At the same time, I want to admit that it's good that some people hodl because the majority of bitcoins shouldn't end up in the hands of corporations like BlackRock and in the hands of centralized exchanges like Binance.
