There's no way 7M people are using BTC daily

Is sending transactions the only activity you consider valid? Can someone be using bitcoin without sending transactions?

No, and simple math proves that 7M daily BTC users is impossible. BTC is limited to about 3 transactions per second. 86,400 seconds in a day, thus maximum of 3×86,400=259,200 transactions per day. But muh SegShit.. even with it, nowhere near enough throughput for 7M people

No it isn't. That is one of the shittiest 1984 style doublespeak attempts I have ever seen. Walking is running. Swimming is flying. Not-using is using.

The three universal phases of Bitcoin usage: 1. Utility (receiving btc) 2. Speculation (holding btc) 3. Utility (sending btc) Each phase is important! The UX of all three continues to improve simultaneously thanks to the division of labor and specialization

4. The death of BTC when miners move to the economically viable chains

the marginal miner moving to a more profitable chain happens *all the time*, back and forth between different sha-256 chains, it's a complete non-event, dunno why some people are so obsessed with that

It's one of those things, like exchanges sharing their KYC/AML info, that many shysters in this space try to pretend doesn't happen.
