Will We Ever Actually Spend Bitcoin?

What it’ll take for BTC to become everyday money—not just digital gold.

It’s been 15 years since someone bought two pizzas for 10,000 BTC.

Back then, Bitcoin was new, risky, and dirt cheap.

Now?

Most of us treat it like gold—not like cash.

But wasn’t it supposed to be money?

So… what’s stopping us?

Bitcoin does ~7 transactions per second.

Visa? Over 24,000.

Lightning Network is improving things—but it’s not exactly “Grandma-friendly” yet.

Until it’s fast and simple, BTC won’t be everyday money.

Would you buy a coffee with something that might double in price next month?

Exactly.

Until volatility chills out—or people stop fearing they’ll regret spending—we’ll keep HODLing.

Most shops still don’t take BTC.

We need easier payment tools, tax support, and real reasons for businesses to say yes.

Lower fees than Visa? Instant settlement? Now we’re talking.

Nobody wants a tax headache from buying a sandwich.

We need clear, global rules to make spending BTC less scary.

Let’s be honest:

A lot of us are terrified of being the next “10,000 BTC pizza guy.”

So we HODL. And HODL. And HODL.

But in some countries, people are already using BTC like real money—because their local currencies don’t hold up.

So… Will We Ever Spend It?

Maybe.

But it’ll take better tools, stable prices, clearer laws, and a shift in mindset.
