A Wake Up Call to the Bitcoin Community
TL:DR at the bottom of the page.

Love it or hate it, with the most recent run up on all coins within the crypto space, literally 99% of the people in crypto are focused on price. And while it is important, THE most important thing we should worry about is adoption.
I got into Bitcoin back in early 2018, and you know why? Because I was 15 years old and I had no way to accept payments to my business - I couldn't open a bank account in my country, payment services like PayPal, Skrill and all those wouldn't let me open and account, so I dived into Bitcoin, and still use it today. What am I trying to say by all of this? The technology should be the focus, not the price. For true adoption, we don't need more FOMOers, we don't need more speculators, we need to SPEND our Bitcoins in order to achieve true adoption, and only then will Bitcoin become what it was supposed to mean. If we all just focus on the price, Bitcoin will NEVER become a peer to peer electronic cash, and stupid questions like "but how can you convert your coins into cash?" which I get very often from people who know nothing about bitcoin would not exist anymore.
TL:DR Spend your bitcoins, the only way to make Bitcoin mainstream is to USE it.
