So you can’t spend it with them. That was one of my points.
I’m not massively interested in spending bitcoin today (though I occasionally do), but I’m glad people are building out payment infrastructure because we’ll need it when the other party is *asking to be paid in bitcoin*, not the other way round.
In the meantime, it’s perfectly fun for us to obtain wealth by holding a scarce digital asset that will rise massively in value over the next decade *and* be altruistic in ways other than trying to spend it everywhere today.
