You might have a point. But mine is that bitcoin should be voluntary. I see little point in trying to shove it down everyone's throat. Sure, it's nice to educate folks, but there are people that will just not change their ways or see things the way we do, and that's fine.
Bitcoin should win on its own merits by having superior traits. In the meantime the best strategy for me is to hold it and spend softer money first. It's holders that give Bitcoin it's value after all. So I see it as a bit unproductive in trying to demonize them/us.
I will spend some sats here and there too. But this is more like charity, there's a component of experimentation too and in some cases, since I already have sats, the experience is actually better. However, I'm under no illusion; these small deeds aren't my primary contributions to the success of Bitcoin. That would be me using it as a savings vehicle.
