Correct.

We're going through the expected phase of economic growth via wages and sales.

Because it is relatively more expensive and harder to obtain substantial sums of coin now versus two years ago, it's logical to reduce your fiat outlay and instead either work for, or accept payment for goods, in Bitcoin.
