Yes, very good advice.... I apply the 80/20 strategy.. where I hoard 80% of all the coins I buy and I use 20% to buy stuff. (Food & expenses)
Thanks for this rule, I might have forgotten this one, yeah, why not apply it to bitcoin as a strategy as well.
We have to support the retailers and shops that accept Bitcoin payments .. or they will stop accepting it. So why not use the FIAT budget for Xmas and convert it all to Bitcoin and then use that to pay for the gifts and the food. (You would have spend it on that in any way, why not pay with it in Bitcoin)
Unfortunately, there's not much of a shop that accept bitcoin payments here, there will always be 3rd party in between to exchange my bitcoin to FIAT so I have to go this services. Nevertheless, I will spend some including New Year too, which for us, is celebrated more than Christmas I must say because it's not just the whole family but extended families as well and we will have a street party and gift giving as well.
