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.
I think being a store of value and unit of international trade settlement are excellent use-cases for Bitcoin. Very soon users will be able to earn Bitcoin through DeFi, and I am optimistic about developments on Cardano to facilitate this. I understand some people wish for Bitcoin to be used for payments or micropayments, but I think being digital gold in a world of inflating Fiat currencies is an important use-case.
