Retard here, but isn't your basis only valid in these early days when bitcoin is valued in USD? I mean sure a pack of chips today will be worth 1M in a few years, so it stands. But when the dollar fails and bitcoins value becomes bitcoins value, the epic growth of it isn't a thing anymore , rather 1BTC = 1 BTC. So storing it / saving it, means you don't lose any value while doing so, and spending it makes sense because you have sound money.

This is the vacuum argument. Bitcoin will never ever exist in a value vacuum. Nothing will ever exist in a value vacuum. There will always be other spending options, and versus Bitcoin the other options will come out on top for most people. In fact things are going in the wrong direction for Bitcoin. It's actually becoming less of the global share of spent (as in MoE) currency as the days go by, not more. In other the tiny embers of MoE are dying. Bitcoin is all about store of value.
