No, plenty of people do not save in BitCoin, for values of plenty and save that most people would understand. You might more accurately have put 'a few people hold bitcoins for reasons of speculation'. This is not the same as saving. [Disclosure - I hold no bitcoins] PS - it's probably about time that people disclose whether or not they hold bitcoins when commenting.

Holding == saving. Sounds like you are trying to emphasize the difference between investment and speculation, instead.

No, they are not equal, because that difference he is emphasizing is the definitions "that most people would understand."
