nope, because I don't want to spend 40 minutes in public transport to reach coffee shop to buy overpriced coffee just because it is cool:(

I think you mean starbucks. But i understand this point. It is quite hard, even in you live in the city to find a shop which accepts bitcoin.
I hope this will change in time.

The scenario would change with large stores next to us accepting bitcoin, but those days were not near. It takes years to reach such a level of acceptance among stores and people.

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.
I spend only my bitcoin in buying accesories of my phone but i need to cashout because the seller doesnt accept bitcoin,
And im buying my load in bitcoin because there are store here that accept bitcoin with 5% discount so this is so helpful for me

I do use it to top up my mobile phone. It is easier to do and the company I do it through give a discount for doing it using bitcoin. So it is a win for both involved Grin

Me to i cashout money to buy food and gadgets with bitcoin and yes im active spending it because bitcoin is my use to by my needs like GAdgets. But i make sure i have money left in wallet so that i cannot left empty handed. But the wise choice for now is the save and spend later your money because Halving ia coming and price will go up and after halving you can cash out your money and spend it.

Ha ha ha, I would like to spend it actively, but I can't because they are no many store are accepting bitcoin.
For me I just like to hold it for now. I don't really need to spend my bitcoin something that I don't use or really want.

Same applies for everyone i suppose. Everyone is eager to spent their coins for real usage.
But the lack of usage makes it good in times where the price is steadily moving up.

Do you actively spend your bitcoins?
Of course, I have to pay my bills in some way.

I always keep a percentage of my earnings anyway. I need to think about my future as well.

No, it is not the time to spend our bitcoins actively, but only passively if feel intense need, nowadays I am preparing for the halving and want to collect a large number of coins and want to see them double up at this halving.

People are not spending at a moment, they are just holding thinking that they will be making great profits by selling at the time of halving when price goes higher.

Here in my country the possibilties are quite limited. I mostly buy sigaretes and that's all to it.
I do hope it will grow and looking at the price i see that more people are stepping in which shows the potential is still there.

Limitations of spending bitcoin physically everywhere, but now its good to see that many sites are coming with accepting bitcoin and also provides good discount if we pay with bitcoins.

Actually my current amount of bitcoin is very, very small, and that is my main limitation to spend frequently my coins. But I just need to increase a bit more my current amount to actively move and exchange my coins.

Try to collect maximum coins at a moment and spend when halving occurs, as spending at that time will give you higher value in compare to present time.

Well, I spent almost every week bitcoin I have, and sometimes I exchange it for dollars. but I also have to wait halving bitcoin deposits occur
I think it's better, you don't spend your bitcoin to exchange to the dollar because it would be advantageous if you hold bitcoin and sell bitcoin in your local exchanger when price up but it's your choice.

I think nowdays better to hold bitcoin you will never know when price increasing,so really better to hold. I am holding my coins and waiting for halving cause i belive in profit.

Yeah, i'm sure in the end of April, the price of bitcoin will increase so much. and i think it's the best time to spend your bitcoin by selling all and turn it into fiat.

hay my friend, but my suggestion its still not best time to spend all coin because this is the rising moment price of bitcoin so If you have some bitcoin then hold it and when its worth will take 700$ after that you sell it and make good money.
I am not spending Bitcoins now and the reason is because the value is not that high now and I think that the value will be more in the future and that can be good.
The halving is also coming so than maybe it will be more in the future so you can have more profit with it so that is nice.

Yeah that's correct, do not spend  now if you want to earn higher profits in future as price will be better at the time of halving so you can sell at that time.

Some times I spend my bitcoin to do some online shopping. But that is just very small percentage of my total holding.
I also have spend some coins for online shopping or a bit of gambling but I did not spend that many. I know that I can make money with Bitcoin so I try not to spend to may Bitcoins.

If you are in any sort of emergency you should spend it, I spend only when I need it and that also is smaller amount,majority of them I am holding for halving.

Yeah that's correct, do not spend  now if you want to earn higher profits in future as price will be better at the time of halving so you can sell at that time.

we should not have to suggest everyone to sell bitcoin at the time of halving as if we faced a large number of sellers at that time and at the same time the buyers' demand decreased then i sure that on that the price will come down to a bottom from where it will be hard enough to rise again.
