so, what is better than btc? i do agree that the scenario where as many people as possible have some, but im surrounded by people so far in debt that they use all inflows to service the debt or spend each month.. it has gotten to the point it does not matter really, btc is the most liquid thing that exists still, and barring being completly outlawed, people will use it as such. (which means spending it). it is not in the interest of anyone, even large holders to manipulate the price to zero if it causes it to 'die off'
