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.

You can’t blame the people who chose to store their bitcoin since the value keeps soaring high from time to time. That is already a sure win in the end. Unlike if you decide to trade, or just simply sell your coins or use it as a payment method, you will lose the opportunity of seeing your bitcoin portfolio growing which means massive profits when you decide to sell them.

This is not a ponzi or pyramid scheme, this is indeed preparing your future into financial freedom which can be highly possible if you decide to hold your coins and only sell them at a life-changing value.

Absolutely - Bitcoin can still be what Satoshi envisioned "a peer-to-peer
electronic cash system" thats is still possible just not exactly the way some people
want it. It can also be a store of value or investment.

I can buy anything I want with my Bitcoin and do so every week with the aid
of a platform called Bitrefill!

Thats something which a lot of people overlook, lots of financial systems have been built around Bitcoin at this stage to help us invest, trade and spend our Bitcoin.

As a medium of money transaction for a coffee, FIAT works perfectly. As an
investment or long term savings plan Bitcoin works perfectly
