You would accept it, but wouldn't give it. I.e., getting paid in BTC is smart. Paying in BTC not so much. That's why it doesn't make a good currency, even though it's good money.

How long do you think that lasts? If everyone wants it then eventually you will have to spend it in order to get things that you want. The more people who want it, the less sense it makes for them to accept anything else. What you are describing is just a bootstrapping phase.

If it was convenient to buy #Bitcoin or pay with it then, more people would use it as a medium of exchange. You can always buy back the #BTC you spent. But it’s not so convenient particularly because of the tax treatment which is outside of the network’s control.
