 You sound like a Keynesian. People will naturally use Bitcoin however it benefits them most. Right now, for most people in the West that means saving it for the future. It is irrational to use a rapidly appreciating asset for purchases unless you have no other option. And yes, you can spend and replace, but there is friction to some degree there. I do spend Bitcoin on occasion, but my point still stands. Saving Bitcoin is using it.
