Hodlers are rent-seeking. Earners and spenders do the work. They pay for the security of the network. Be an earner.

This generational wealth idea will die together with bitcoin if no one spends their on-chain bitcoin or is only holding financial products built on Bitcoin. Who shall pay the tx fees for security?
