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.

yes i spend my bitcoins actively, and i spend them pretty often, of course except now when i hold them for halving, but usually i spend like 1 bitcoin each month for many things

because if we wouldn't use bitcoins, there would be no use from them, but now when many stores accepts bitcoins, almost every online store accepts them, i think it's really good to spend them

I dont want to spent my bitcoins because there are allot of people who do and i dont feel that i need to do it. If others spent them i dont need to just waiting for a increasing moment and dont know if im going to sell them on that point maybe in about 20 years.
it was nice to not spend your bitcoin for something that is not important. but I prefer to spend it in a way to exchange it for fiat and save money in the bank. when the high price I would take the opportunity to sell, but if the price is low I will continue to hold for the next few years
As much as I wanted not to spend I really do not have a choice. It is a good thing that I have discovered bitcoin it helps me a lot including my expenses when it comes to work. I actually used them to buy food and pay some fare for me to get to work it was very useful and a big help for me. But if ever I don't have this kind of demand I would definitely save them and then after investment to earn money and so on this will allow me to financially be free and can have a better life in the future. All I have to do is be patient and do the very best that I can.

i always try to actively spend my bitcoins but i also always hit a brick wall when i want to spend it because there are few places that accept bitcoin and many of these places aren't even selling things that i want so i am stuck with fiat for now.

Good for you then since you are not wasting those supposed profit that your bitcoin can give due to an active price fluctuations.

A $1 worth of value in bitcoin is not the same $1 worth in the future.

Unfortunately there aren't many places for me to spend by bitcoins as well so I usually give my coins out to others in loans or put them into moneypot.

I do not spend them actively these days because of the upcoming event from the halving, it will be great and profitable and spending now is because of this not good.

I have spent on ordering online food and on sports bets. I hope to be able to pay at all restaurants soon because I like to eat out. In the meantime I convert my fiat to bitcoin and hold.

Online food merchant that accepts bitcoin? What is that local one or globally (processed one)? What site is that?

I just wonder how's the execution of order or system has done since at least they need a confirmation before it take placed.

That is so true and how I really spend the earnings that I get from Bitcoin. If only I am given a chance to save them I will because I am also thinking what will happen to me in the future after this. This is also the reason why I survive and have as much time as I can to work on my post so that I will be able to achieve my goal not just in bitcoin but in real life. People may think that I am fine but they do not know what is real inside. I am working on investment in order for my both senior parents to live a financially stable life while I still have time.

I am following this strategy to "spend" my bitcoins
(because in my opinion this is not a real expense, but
an investment): I use to trade in forex my fiat money;
when I need to withdraw money my brokers give me
the option to withdraw it in BTC or  doller ; when BTC
is cheaper I whitdraw only BTC, and when BTC is
high, I use to deposit into my trading account a good
amount in bitcoins, this way I do a kind of beneficial
exchange.

Spending will be not the best thing that you can do and that is because the value of Bitcoin is rising slowly so that is perfect for people who are holding their Bitcoin.
Because they have maybe the opportunity to sell it and that should be perfect for them if that would be possible for them.

Nice decision dude, at least you do not mention about gambling. By just keeping it, that is already a sign that you believe in bitcoins, and because of that when the price will skyrocket in the future the amount that we save can already be considered as our retirement.

nah, im spend 60% from my btc to trading alt coins in longterm, and hold the rest because i think the value of bitcoin will be going up again soon.
Nice decision dude, at least you do not mention about gambling. By just keeping it, that is already a sign that you believe in bitcoins, and because of that when the price will skyrocket in the future the amount that we save can already be considered as our retirement.
The more the days past by the more the price increase, just today the price gone high again and it is continue going to the up position. This is a good chance for use to earn profit with our investment in the future and spending would not be advisable for now, better hold and see and don't let your self get tempted.

Without those people that spends it then there wont be a movement. Dont advertise to not use it. It should circulate again and again not just stuck in one place like your wallet.
