"Hoarding" does enhance purchasing power for everyone else, so it does make the world a better place.

That's a good point. Bitcoin is so amazing.

Saving now (while it's easy) for anticipated expenses is prudent.

This is may be "smart" but also scarce in mindset. I am an abundant fool. For the most part, I live day to day, and I am great with that. There is no reason to think I will not always have my needs met.

Financially secure people make for a more stable society.

I'm not sure what this means

People who don't know how they're going to make ends meet tend to behave more rashly than those who's basic needs are taken care of.

Most people aren't as zen about providing for themselves as you. Maybe they should be, but they aren't.

My point is that we might see more kind, caring, cooperative, etc. behavior from these folks once they feel financially secure.

Bitcoin does this whether we hold it or not. If we all knew deep in our hearts the truth of Bitcoin, which is that we will have more later than we have now, there wouldn't be anything to fear. And we could all be a little more zen about being present and giving it all away. For me, I don't have a lot of Bitcoin. But I know about it's truth. So there is no reason to fear the future. My real assets are my skills which are plentiful. I couldn't starve if I tried.
