I'm fairly invested into bitcoin. I buy bitcoin on a regular basis and often get paid in it. I'm not too worried about the bitcoin I spent going up in value later.

I like to think of myself as a user of the currency, not necessarily an investor.

That is cool that you're paid in BTC. If you only have BTC, then it can become your primary currency, because you have no other option.

However, as long as people have access to cash in their local currency, it doesn't make commercial sense to spend BTC. Bitcoin is a self fulfilling prophecy because of this...
