People are now more focused on Bitcoin as a store of value
And it as a medium of exchange is now less popular.
I think Gresham law is creeping in and people are hoarding Bitcoin and selling Fiat.
People still use it as a medium of exchange though
For example campaigns are one of such
Services are sold for Bitcoin and certain people
Accept Bitcoins for their goods.
But it's easier to see a Buyer than a seller.

What’s your suggestion? Any solutions do you have in mind? It is easy to point fingers and be a debbie downer but it takes some effort to find a solution.

My country has banned the usage of crypto as a currency altogether. What should I do about it? No legitimate business can accept crypto as a payment method here. Buy&Hodl is all we got.

This also made me realize, the govs are way more powerful than we think. Many people say crypto is invincible. I used to believe that too. Now I see that the govs can kill crypto anytime they want. They don’t do it because it is against their own interests.

I read it as disappointment this website has stopped promoting bitcoin, other than hoarding it.  

Have you considered that ones you talked about asset, the next thing that comes your mind is how profitable it is, once it's not a profitable one, then it's no more an asset but a liability, which tells that everyone of us doing one thing or the other to maximize our profitability to earn more, are doing pyramid scheme, every business or enterprise with the hope of selling high after holding is also a pyramid scheme, including yourself, bitcoin is a digital currency, treat and accept it the same way you recognized fiat.

I also joined the Bitcoin scene back in 2013 or 2014, as a teenager back then. I didn't have a way to acquire Bitcoin, so I just resorted to using faucets; there were hundreds of them in the past and paid large amounts of Bitcoin, over 1000 satoshi in a single spin. You could easily accumulate a single coin through these platforms alone if you were determined enough.

I was also delighted when I spent my Bitcoin then, mostly on online goods and platforms; thus, I understand the feeling you're talking about. However, times have changed, and Bitcoin is now considered an asset more than a currency, and it makes sense with each coin being worth over $100,000. Thus, it's fairly easy to assume why people, including myself, don't want to spend Bitcoin anymore.

What is a pyramid scheme? Storing wealth in BTC?
So, storing wealth in gold is a pyramid scheme too, right? Or isn't it? Please explain.

Why don't you let us do whatever we want with our bitcoin? You want to spend it - be my guest. There are sites where you can buy pretty much any store credit you want from Amazon and Ikea to Steam and Netflix. I prefer to hold it because I've held for almost a decade and I'm satisfied with the result.

With the time you stated that you joined the Bitcoin movement, I don't think it was too late, because people who joined Bitcoins between 2013 and 2014 may have made significant profits by now. The way Bitcoin has progressed, even when the market is not stable, they will not lose any of their money; instead, they will profit handsomely.

To be honest, Bitcoin has become a best coins in all over the world because when ever people invest in Bitcoin, they receive a large return on their investment; this is why the number of people investing in Bitcoin is growing by the day.

Well if you bought a bitcoin in 2020 for $10,000, you can now sell it to someone for $100,000 and that person is expecting to sell it to someone else for $1,000,000. That looks like a down line to me.

Bitcoin very much resembles a pyramid scheme in some ways.

Most people who are engaged with Bitcoin investment today are more focused on gaining profit rather than taking advantage of the Bitcoin feature as a currency.  @OP, in my early years, I was also excited when news about BTC acceptance and merchants integrating BTC into their service were announced.  In those early years, this means more people are trusting BTC and those who are holding the coins have places to spend it to.  But indeed nowadays, most discussion are about holding BTC and not spending it to reap rewards and profit in the following years.  This may sound a pyramid/ponzi scheme but it is not.  Remember Bitcoin is trading in an open market and no central authority is commanding its trade, unlike  Pyramid/Ponzi schemes where trading is manipulated and the need to refer people into the scheme is required to take profit.

I don't find anything wrong when someone wants to take profit from their investment.  Besides, it is one of the driving forces that strengthen the liquidity of Bitcoin.

This sounds boring but trust me, with all that happening right now in the Bitcoin market, this is the best way to do it. How to own Bitcoin and how to store it securely.
We must also consider that a lot of things have changed already, that's why you already found it boring now because of no new things happening in the Bitcoin market.

For me, sometimes the boring part will save you from any disaster.
