The best thing for Bitcoin circular economy is if people spend bitcoin, and then just rebuy the same amount . Creates a new hodler and also creates buy demand at the same time . But it needs to be easier for people to spend + buy all in the same go.

You can always buy more Bitcoin.
The worst thing about becoming rich (500M+) is that there’s nothing to buy. You invest to increase your money, but that’s not buying things. 20 cars, 10 houses, yacht, jet, 15 diamond watches. Done. Then you’re left with PILES OF MONEY and nothing at all to buy besides steak.
