Its not smart now to spend your Bitcoins. The value is not even that high so you wont get much for it. It will be better if you wait a while.
I hope that more people are also waiting. So we can have some more money later in the future when the price is rising.

That's actually a good idea and I am trying that as much as I can but we can't still avoid some incidents like for emergency. Even you are trying to save, once there is an emergency and you got nothing , you will be forced to touch your savings, that happened to me several times

I do not spend my bitcoins active if I'm honest due to the fact the bitcoin will got to a high amount.
This is the time to just hold your bitcoins for a price increase that is coming this year because of the halving.
Also due to the fact, I've got 2 wallets for long term and a short term I really happy with it and its working well.

Yeah it will be boring. No fun of risking it or using as a means of online shopping and other stuffs. If you got a really good patience you could do it. Better think of it as a piggy bank for you to not use it.

No I do not actively spend any bitcoins these days, well sometimes I do but only with low amounts.
Other than that I'm not spending any bitcoins because of the halving that is coming.

I generally do not spend bitcoins arbitrarily.
Just try to hoard them as long as possible.
But when I need some fiat then I exchange them (although not often) and my main expenditure is when I buy any digital goods from the forum.

The real unspoken question is how do you know there will be a massive buy order. And if there isnt, what then?

This is basically what everyones relying on, esp trying to gamble on peoples emotions on fear of missing out on bitcoin.

Depending on the level of "needed use". I would just hold 2 months more until this halving does happen and if it does spark a massive buy order.

Then hopefully you can recoup the time loss - or justify in your view a bit. Like I commented earlier, just be ready to sell regardless if there isnt a buy increase anyways.

I'm sometimes spending bitcoins for low amounts payments, because its easy and I buy a lot of digital goods on this forum also so that is another reason.
I think its really easy and I'm also stimulating the bitcoin economy of course.

Holding bitcoins for a few years is a bit risky and too long imo. We don't know what happen to bitcoin on that years. For me better spend your bitcoin for invest in bitcoin for short-term

The sad truth is most of us have held for awhile.

And the price dream is always constantly talked about.. but yet we still hold this coin? lol. I pretty much sell it on the daily basis from my other business I get.

I am spending it on gambling at a moment, as I think we should keep on spending our coins rather then keeping it useless in wallet and I also sell when I need fiat currency so I convert my bitcoins to my local currency.

Yes, I think we should spend our bitcoins, I am spending for my mobile top up and buying some stuffs online, and also convert it to fiat at the time of emergencies.

Its not that smart now to spend your coins indeed. The value is not that high so that is not smart to do that around this time.
I hope that we can all sell it later with profit that will be so good in the future.

I think this is good for the bitcoin economy, we need more volume, so it's important to use your bitcoin, then re-buy

Yes I actively spend my bitcoins mostly on clothes because they are cheaper when you pay with the bitcoin.
They are doing it at a local store near my place, its pretty nice if you ask me.

Bitcoins need to be circulated, if we spend our bitcoins, the price of bitcoins will improve in future, if we just keep on holding, bitcoin will loose all its value.

Spend your bitcoins when you feel to spend, nothing wrong in it, it would be useless to just keep on holding and without using it, if you need money, don't look at the price, just sell it and have fun.
