The broader issue is still that society isn't waking up to the need for crypto. Sure there are problems with BTC but if people actually cared about using it then an altcoin would have shot to the moon by now to take its place, even if temporarily. If the power is held by exchanges, then miners then merchants and consumers are down the bottom, then we're probably at the complete opposite of where we need to be.

There are no consumers. Just speculators.

Hopefully that negative interest would be enough to dissuade hoarders and speculators.  

Perhaps you didn't read up where I explained that "hoarding" is savings and it is absolutely essential for a healthy economy.  If there is no incentive to consume less than one produces, an entire economy's wealth is stagnant at best and consumed in one generation at worst.  We are currently watching this play out on a global scale.

It's laughable to claim that there would be no investing with a deflationary currency. The late nineteenth century in America saw prices fall almost everywhere and a massive increase in the standard of living. People would still spend a currency even if they knew it would go up in value forever because nobody lives forever. They just wouldn't spend it frivolously. That's a bad thing? We all need billboard-sized flat screen television sets and a new car every two years?

This.

The consumerism economy that cheap money has created is ridiculous. Let's waste as much of our planet's resources as we can so that we can turn them into something we use for 5 minutes then throw away.

Investing so that your money is working for you? This creates a large part of society that is just living off of money working for them. That is not productivity, that is a drain on society.

As someone who actually lives on Bitcoin and from what I have heard of others who are doing the same, we spend our money on things that matter and don't waste as much money on frivolous things. Personally I have found it very freeing to not care about "stuff" anymore. Everything I own can fit inside a backpack and suitcase (other than my very economical car). I see posts on Facebook of some "cool" product followed by tons of posts of "I want!". While I look at it, think it's kinda clever and have no care for acquiring it. I spend most of my money on living life. I travel to a new country at least once a month. Collecting experiences as opposed to things. Enjoying people instead of possessions.

I feel bad for my co-workers who all have 6 figure incomes who are always complaining about not having enough money, and credit card bills and all of this debt. While they drive high priced cars (with insane gas bills), constantly have packages being delivered with new goodies and expensive places to live.

Gold and silver coins kept the price for a pint steady as a rock for hundreds of years.

Cold storage for 10+ years I think & then hope to see some significant progress then. If not then at least we tried.

What do you mean what have I done?

I'm just a regular guy, I've invested what I can afford to over the last 18 months or so into a speculative investment (bitcoin).

Whenever I've had spare fiat I've bought. I HODL a semi decent stash in cold storage in the hope that one day bitcoin booms & I make a better life for myself. Maybe it'll work, maybe I'll have pissed my money down the drain but I'm trying.

Why what have you done?

You said: "And what have you tried to do?" and then, without waiting for an answer, leapt straight to: "As i see it you dont do anything but expect others to do it for you with this metod..."

Given that, LFC_Bitcoin's reply seems entirely reasonable. Polite and restrained, even. LFC answered your question, and then asked the same question of you.
