Bitcoin should be spent as cash, in fact should be spent much more commonly, frequently and ubiquitously than paper cash.
However, it should *not* be spent on the surface, but rather be spent behind the scene, almost invisible to regular users.
There is a fundamental reason for this: Money is language. It doesn't matter what theoretical and technological arguments you make, people will only spend in local currency units, because that's the language they speak.
Few people in this world are truly bilingual, and when it comes to money as a language, much fewer still. But there's an even more fundamental reason why it is extremely hard for a new language to be spoken: when one speaks, not only must the person have the ability to speak the language, but his audience must also speak the same language. Learning a new language is hard enough already, but with a new language that is just invented, it is much harder to find someone to speak the same language. This basic negative network effect reduces the opportunity chance exponentially. That is exactly why the very logically designed language Esperanto (billed as the "world language") never catch up.
The bitcoin community has always lacked this understanding, partially because of the community's inclination of being idealistic instead of practical.
So let's be practical. Allow people to speak their local languages, and let BSV be the unheard translator. Don't seek "face", seek service (utility).
For example, let wallets be built on the BSV chain, but automatically convert, all behind the scene, from BSV to a local currency unit. The user will feel like he's spending/receiving local money, but in fact everything is happening on the chain (with all the Bitcoin blockchain advantages).
BSV itself therefore should be visible only for those who are consciously investing in BSV (many should, but few are, and only a minority will, but the success of BSV does not depend on its investors, but on its users.).
