I don't know if I have sounded so pessimistic towards bitcoin. From the depth of my heart, I want bitcoin to gain more utility than it has, the reason I made this post to seek opinion if there are people actually thinking in this direction or the right way of thinking about bitcoin is only HODL.
There are more of us who actually hold Bitcoin, not use it. Most of us only get from the profit value obtained from the growth of Bitcoin's price, not from using Bitcoin.
Not everyone has knowledge related to the use of Bitcoin. The role of influencers who explain Bitcoin as an investment asset also has an influence. So there is knowledge that is formed in new people. Bitcoin is an investment asset. Therefore, they hold and secure their assets well, not even thinking of using them as a means of transaction.
