I joined the BTC movement late, around 2013/2014 (no, I don't have tons of BTC, don't waste time trying to scam me) and I remember the excitement when there were new ways to spend your BTC. Maybe a new store accepting BTC, maybe a new way to sell your stuff for BTC, etc.

Nowadays all the talks are about storing your BTC and hope they go high like crazy. I get it, but that's a pyramid scheme, it's not a digital money revolution.

I am pretty bored right now.
People are still stuck using Bitcoin as a purely speculative tool, i.e., an investment tool (trading instrument). It's unfortunate to admit that the majority of Bitcoin users are investors and traders. In fact, this misunderstanding of Bitcoin has contributed significantly to its spread, as everyone is curious about trying new ways to make money. These factors have increased the accumulation of Bitcoin in wallets without its being utilized for other services. Bitcoin is a recognized currency and an electronic payment method, but unfortunately, these features are not taken advantage of by a large number of users compared to the total number of users.
