> the public believes the best use case for Bitcoin is to not use it. This counterintuitive idea has nothing to do with the vision for Bitcoin described in the original white paper. Bitcoin is intended to be used, not just held.<p>> How come the only use case seems to be a dishonest pyramid scheme?<p>Because the fixed supply encourages hoarding.<p>If bitcoin wanted to encourage use over holding, it should have done without the reward halvings. Just have a fixed reward, i.e. a pure linear emission. Now it takes n years to get yearly supply inflation down to 1/n.
This vastly reduces the fear of missing out and speculation, while encouraging use as a currency.
