So I wanted to ask the community directly:

👉 Do you personally see crypto more as:

A long-term store of value (something to hold)?

A real alternative currency (something to use)?

And if you don’t spend your crypto — what would it take to make you start?

I'm not here to shill a project. Genuinely just curious — this question has shaped how I approach the product I'm building.

The truth is I have never buy anything with crypto or even Bitcoin, the regulatory framework of crypto in my place is not transparent and I don't want to involved myself is something that government will say they have ban today and another part of government will say they it's now legal. I have some sats I'm holding by the way and it's has been great run and I'm planning to hold for long time, I don't want to regret like others when Bitcoin is too expensive and I don't have any on my wallet.

I think the perspective of Bitcoin period as ones investment depend on the amount you have invest. To be honest with you, there is no way you will want to invest $1000 into Bitcoin and want to take the money out in a year, it's possible that you might have earned profits of $400+ if you bought on the first day of January but is that really the kind of profit one need to be chasing? Absolutely no, long term should be the goal regardless of any amount, you can only play around with big funds if you plan to invest for short term.
