If Bitcoin is money, why do so few bitcoiners use it like money?

My local meetup has splintered off into a guerilla campaign of getting local Square merchants to turn on Bitcoin. We've onboarded merchants that sell coffee, ice cream, tacos, rolfing, etc...God willing, we will get beer on the menu.

And the local bitcoiners mostly can't be arsed to spend with them! What gives?!

Also I have NO IDEA what rolfing is. But you can spend bitcoin on it.

Rolfing is related to therapeutic massage, or a subtype of it. I sometimes spend bitcoin on products I might otherwise buy. I don’t get what gives either!

so people are getting merchants to accept bitcoin but are they hodl'ing, spending it or converting to fiat? i think I know the answer.

Because, as money, people will do as they like with it, not what they are told to do. Some spend, some Hodl, some sell for fiat. None are wrong

only thing we can do is hold ourself accountable, cant worry too much about what others are doing
