A pragmatic approach. The world holds incredible amounts of us dollars in the mattress.

If your expectation of bitcoin were that its value just doesnt decrease you have an incentive to turn your cash positions into bitcoin.

We could say people shouldnt have signficant cash reserves but reality shows otherwise.
