People should be incentivized to save. That’s the point. And if everyone is productive and saving, it will benefit all those that are productive and saving equally. No one is benefiting at the cost of anyone else except if they were unproductive or not saving. And people still need to pay for food to eat, gas to commute, etc, so the economy will be chugging along. In fact, I would argue, as the value of Bitcoin increases, people would be more incentivized to spend their Bitcoin because they can afford more things. That’s why every time the price pumps, it hits a wall as new sellers come to market that weren’t there at lower prices.

People don't spend when they anticipate their money increasing in value. Its obvious even at this level of adoption.

Bitcoiners are stingy because "muh generational wealth."

If everyone is saving, obviously they aren't spending. Food, gas and necessities are a tiny fraction of the overall economy. Bitcoiners VASTLY underestimate the economic contraction that would occur under these conditions.

But if you dig living like the Amish, I'm sure you'll be fine.
