Not a lot. For me there are not enough shops i like that accept bitcoin.
I also don't own a lot of bitcoin (at this moment around 0.4 BTC) which i safely stored offline for future usage.

Yes hold it for next couple of months until the halving as price would be good at that time so don't spend it now, just keep it safe for future as you can sell it when the price is higher.

this time I'm frugal shopper. so I rarely go shopping with bitcoin. after all there are very few shops that acceptt bitcoin. so I was more often convert to fiat

I would never spend my bitcoin. I'll keep it as good as possible. I know the future of bitcoin very nice so make it as an investment is the right choice. bitcoin start saving from now. Do not spend your entire bitcoin for shopping and other delights.  Cheesy

Then what is the use of earning it if you never gonna spend it? If you want that bitcoin price should be higher in future then do no just hold it, keep on spending it and you will find much higher price in future.

I am thinking of spending some bitcoin to buy some graphics cards to do some mining. It is quite profitable to mine Ethereum.

No I do not actively spend them, I sometimes buy some digital good but that is now and than not very often.
The fact is also that I do not want to do this because I want to hold as much as possible to gain more profit.

Yes at a moment we can use majority of it only for buying online stuffs as we are not able to find any physical shop that accepts bitcoins as a mode of payment, but thing s will change in future.

Its not smart indeed to do it around this time. There is no reason to do that. And the value is not even that high.
It should be better if you wait a little longer and that you can have some more profit later, that will be good.

for the few places that do accept bitcoin, do you currently spend the coins you hold at any of them?

I know places like www.takeaway.com accept bitcoin and i even heard CEX.co.uk accept bitcoin in stores now too, but does anyone spend the bitcoins they have or do most just onto hold them? (Or gamble them lol)

I wonder if there will ever be any retailers that only accept bitcoin.

if everyone won't buy/sell/use bitcoin, bitcoin would die

personally i like to use bitcoin because very easy to bay with it, not many stores accept it but it's still nice to use it, if everyone would just hold or gamble them, there would be no more bitcoin accepting stores in future

There are no stores accepting bitcoin in my area, that's probably enough to not seriously consider using it offline, Also the confirmation time etc... would not make it practical for physical stores to use it.
yeah it becomes a major consideration because we cannot buy small items like toothpaste abroad country via online right. so the only way is convert to fiat

When it comes to budget friendly product I'd rather not to use bitcoin.

The $100 value of your bitcoin that you spend on toothpaste can be $200 or more in just a matter of days.

Note: Don't take seriously my example about $100 price of a single toothpaste.

No I do not spend a lot of bitcoins, I only do this sometimes for digital goods but that is everything.
The last month I even bought nothing with the bitcoin, I also want to hold them for a later moment, maybe the price is gonna rise also.

Yes there will be a time to spend your Bitcoins. But now is not the right time to spend it, because the value is not even that high.
We all hope that the value will rise and that the most people will have some profit, so they have later more money and that will be so good.
