im not spending my coins just right now to be honest, but i would actually spend it if there were more shops with it around me

If you have good amount of bitcoin at this stage then do not spend it as this is not the right time to spend as price will go higher at the time of halving and that would be the best time to spend.

Yeah, spending actively your coins today is somewhat you are going to miss the chance of earning in halving. Because the price is really going up rapidly. And we don't know until what price it is going to stop. So, better wait and once the price stops at the price you want.
Then that's the right time to think on what you are going to spend your bitcoins for.

yeah sometimes we will have confusion in doing shopping/spending using bitcoin. I think it's reasonable because bitcoin is not so mainstream on the Internet or in the world? I never took a headache it? I always convert my bitcoin to fiat to buy something Cheesy

Most of us stopped spending bitcoin actively for the incoming halving, because we all know that it will be profitable once it happens.
And I know it will be worth the wait and effort of waiting, we just need to wait and believe for it.

We are just not the same some of my coins i just spend it for buying domain and hosting to increase the amount of my bitcoin i am using bitcoin to buy landing pages and traffic to my site.. this is i think the best to increase the amount of my bitcoin than just waiting for bitcoin to rise..

Using Bitcoin as a currency which is what it was ultimately created for is a great feeling. We can even spend them at really legitimate places like overstock and we also can get discounted gift cards and such.

I only spend my coins very rarely when I want to buy some giftcard off these forums or some other thing somebody is selling here. So my spending is strictly person to person.

Also using bitcoin as a currency will make it more active in the world of currency and possibility for the big online merchants to accept it as one of their payment method option will really be on close. But that is not the real score as more people taking this currency as an investment so rotations of coins in the market are not that present.

Also it encourages growth of the currency. Because more and more people use it, more and more retailers start to accept it, which means even more people hop on board. The cycle repeats.

I hope big merchants will accept bitcoins in the future but for now, we are still big in terms of demand because many gambling sites are operating with bitcoins as their means of payment, with that the demand will continue to increase as the population of the gamblers in the world has a good number.

Spending it through wiring money to my relatives and I tell you guys this is much better than western union or paypal.

I find myself sending more than my previous money transfer because the fees used are too low.

Yeah, definitely. I hold my coins too and therefore I don't really actively spend my coins anywhere. I sometimes invest but investments are pretty risky, you gotta admit. So my bitcoins just sits there looking pretty in my wallet most of the time Cheesy

But I'd like to buy groceries with BTC in the future if possible.

In the future we can buy groceries but as of now all we can do is to save and enjoy the profit of our investment while watching the price consistently going up. This is the best time for us to minimize the spending to take the opportunist, discipline your self and only spend after the halving.

It would be really good if we can spend bitcoin wherever we want, but the scenario is different at a moment, there are very limited place where we can spend bitcoin at a moment.

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.
yeah sometimes we will have confusion in doing shopping/spending using bitcoin. I think it's reasonable because bitcoin is not so mainstream on the Internet or in the world? I never took a headache it? I always convert my bitcoin to fiat to buy something Cheesy

I am not spending now and that is because I want to hold it now around this time because you already can see now that the value of Bitcoin will be more worth so that is really nice for Bitcoin itself but it is hard to know what will happen in the future but we are all hoping that it will rise for a long time.
The bad thing of Bitcoin is that you cant predict what is going to happen later and that is really bad.

Do not think of too long, try to enjoy this moment and try to grab as much profits as you can, as halving is near now so we should hold our coins till then without spending it.

I think I only redeem my bitcoin in the form of dollars, if it includes spending bitcoin.
I do not use it to buy something, but I just exchanging it so that when the price of bitcoin down, I did not get the loss. but in spite of that, sometimes I also feel a loss when the price rises bitcoin. I guess I can not be categorized in this case  Cheesy

Many of us are facing the same problem that we cannot spend it physically but I am happy as it allows me to save my bitcoins for future and fiat is always there to buy anything at a moment.
