Yeah that's what I mean. It seems some Bitcoiners are just hoarding it against the future in which Bitcoin becomes the default currency of the entire world. What if that never happens? Bitcoin may be a great means to an end, but it seems insufficient as an end in itself.

I think they’re a bit shortsighted. The time to develop this parallel system is now. You’re not going to get to that future if people are not familiar with using the money, even if all fiat tanks.
Not that I have a problem with saving. Maybe they’ll be laughing at me in future 😂 but if they are will it won’t be because of anything they did.
Yep it's worth getting involved and flexing the muscle of a Bitcoin-mediated economy. Part of that, though, is knowing when to let go of the medium on order to obtain a more permanent good.
