First, back in the day this was a moon shot experiment. So any person who had very early coins would have to be nuts to think otherwise. "Moon" use to be the dream of Bitcoin @ $1k. Then there is runway, ppl want to create things so they need to spend money, many didn't have much money so they spent the few thousand BTC they had to build businesses. And so on. The firm understanding of bitcoin as ultimate store of value came later. Early on most though of it as uncensorable payments. It's easy to see things as they are now. At first it was just one paper, by some guy, Satoshi, and not much else aside from "obscure" pre-bitcoin cypherpunk attempts. Engineers and Silkroad types (most of the first comers) didn't have much economics understanding either. It's all been a long learning exercise :)

I'm not talking about back in the day, I'm talking about today and the future. I think everybody now has a clear idea of what BTC is and can be, and what not.
We can't say BTC is going to be a reserve in the central banks' sheets and an absolutely scarce (and indirectly deflationary) asset, or a form of property, and at the same time wish for it to be a lightweight currency to use to pay for a bunch of bananas in some tropical country.
It's just not compatible.
At this point, people who were lucky enough to get in at the very beginning and mine their own fortune, tens or hundreds, or thousands of BTC, and the vision or luck to keep them, have a very different outlook to people who have had to BUY their sats at 4, 5 figures in USD terms.
They may be able to spend BTC knowing that unless they're total imbeciles they will not run out of them. If you're fiat broke and BTC rich, fine, it makes sense.
Just as it makes sense for landed gentry in the UK who are money-broke and land-rich *and unable to find a way to generate money with their land* (current problem with BTC) to sell off that small piece over there while trying to keep the manor.
What is not right is that landed gentry telling the Costco cashier who barely got a run down public housing unit in the ghetto that they should get rid of it to buy bananas.
