A lot of people were just repeating the "keep the hardest money" as if that's given and that's the only truth. To get to these people I wrote this point in a very naive and simplified way with hope that at least one person will catch the idea and later think about the problem more thoroughly. On purpose I did not include situations where you actually want to keep bitcoin and spend fiat (without using exchanges).

In my opinion if rich people and bankers are the only one using bitcoin to keep and expand their riches and the majority of the world is not going to actually use bitcoin as peer to peer cash, then that's a sad end of bitcoin.

In the article I highlighted how there is not much missing from making bitcoin truly useful for farmers, old people, etc. The biggest blocker and a gap is that people are not paying with bitcoin (again, sellers are already accepting...). Some of them may have valid reasons, like you do, but some of them don't in my estimate.

So thank you for wasting your time with my conversation and if you would be willing to waste some more, I would be interested in your POV of when you don't want to spend bitcoin.

fwiw "being hit by a wet trout" is an old meme.
