ya i actively spend my bitcoins for my and my family mobile recharge, datacard recharge and i do recharge for my friends, like this i spend it and now i am trying to sell my goods for bitcoins,

Good idea but buy Bitcoin when it's cheaper because right now I think you will not get it for cheaper at least till the end of festive season so hold on and wait for the right situation to strike the deal.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

I would be spending more actively if that was an option in the local stores where I live.

I'm looking forward to more merchants and stores to accept bitcoin in the near future.

yes if in my country many local accept bitcoin, maybe I could spend my bitcoin every day to shop.

but unfortunately not one I find, even online stores accept bitcoin is still rare in my country. mostly just pulse that accept bitcoin.

I did try to keep my bitcoins intact as an investment...

But then i discovered two great startups (interesting, both from my home country Slovenia), that let me pay for anything without worrying about my investment.

Cashila https://www.cashila.com/
Let's me pay bills using bitcoins. Works by converting bitcoins to EUR at the current exchange rate and paying for anything via SEPA. It's great if you are from the EU. Usually I use them when paying for my gsm bill, when i want to cash out bitcoin to my bank account, or i need to pay a friend, hehe.

The other one is Reload by Bitnik https://reload.bitnik.eu/
Keeps an eye for outgoing transactions from my wallet address and every time i make a purchase - it instantly buys the same amount from the exchange of my choice.

Now i can freely spend my bitcoins on almost anything, and when i do, my btc balance stays the same.
Give them a try and spend bitcoins whenever you can Wink

Thanks for introducing these start ups, specially I appreciate Cashila for their interesting ideas and they are a real exchange website.

I'll have a detailed look on it later on, but I'm sure you can summarize the cost part more straight forward then their website which is usually more marketing oriented

I have big trust issues with such websites. I didn't mind keeping money in Coinbase, I didn't mind using Uphold, but I sure as hell would not trust those unless they somehow managed to gain immersive reputation, receive investments etc. Just have heard to many horror stories about scams.

I am not an active bitcoin user at the moment. This is only because spending bitcoin is very limited at the time.

For now I am not able to buy a lot of stuff in stores since there are not a lot of stores out there that accept bitcoin.

I try pretty hard not too, nothing I can buy with BTC can't be bought with a credit card so I want to avoid that temptation as long as possible.

I usually invest into bitcoin every paycheck, and try and save it. There is always something coming up that I just HAVE to have that causes me to dip into though.

I keep most of my BTC in my wallet. Sold some for euro's to get my initial investment back though. Right now I am accumulating BTC by trading altcoins with a small part of the "free" BTC I have left Smiley. Not spending it in stores or anything, as the ones I usually use don't accept bitcoins (yet).

Yeah true why just spend bitcoins when you can just earn money thru trading or trading thru altcoins.
What I like the most of this bitcoin that if just amazing how much you can earn money with just posting with a signature and other parts like have a online work that pays bitcoin. Will good luck accumulating your bitcoins Cheesy

Well maybe I a not actively spending my bitcoin, but this Christmas for sure I will purchase some gadgets and presents for my family.
I hope that there will be some discounts with bitcoin, that would be nice for me. I wish that more stores could just accept bitcoin.

Great idea, thanks. In connection with cashila, could you please advice about the costs? Are there any fixed fees or the fee is based on the amount you transfer via SEPA? I'll have a detailed look on it later on, but I'm sure you can summarize the cost part more straight forward then their website which is usually more marketing oriented

At Cashila the fee is based on the amount you transfer - it's a fixed 1% for every incoming transactions, outgoing are free. Check out the official announcement here at Bitcointalk, you should be able to get a 0% fee for testing the service Smiley

I have big trust issues with such websites. I didn't mind keeping money in Coinbase, I didn't mind using Uphold, but I sure as hell would not trust those unless they somehow managed to gain immersive reputation, receive investments etc. Just have heard to many horror stories about scams.

Bitnik has bitcoin ATMs all around Slovenia. Haven't tried the ATM yet, but Reload works as expected.. best part it is free Smiley

Cashila on the other hand did receive investments - as a startup they got seed funding from LAUNCHub, you can see them in their portfolio at http://launchub.com/portfolio/
Also they have a license by the Czech National Bank, are regulated, and are very reputable from where i come..
