Its hard to say, I think generally they wouldn't because it's cost ineffective to do so.

But I'm sure there are people who could utilize as a tool for leverage, I would say Collateralized Debt Obligations in a way function similarly to that.

My point however is Bitcoin's value from scarcity is an issue that prevents it from being used as digital cash, which is what it's intended purpose was.

Bitcoins scarcity is not preventing anything. People can use it as digital cash.

And people also can choose not to yet.

When you use bitcoin as digital cash is up to the holder of the bitcoin.

And imo thats why strike wants you spending your bitcoin to pay bills. It puts more bitcoin in their hands, less in yours.... because they know it's not time to spend bitcoin like that. We're just not there yet. There's still more value and uses to be gained.
