I can't use my bitcoins actively cause i don't know where i can do this, usually i am just exchanging my bitcoins into fiat to get something in physical shops.

Its good that we are not able to spend our coins now as that allows us to save our coins for future and if there is any emergency we can convert it to fiat anytime.

Yes if we were able to spend it many people would have used their coins for purchases and not holding.
Thing is ultimately bitcoin will be used for spending etc.

If everyone will keep on holding their coins then it will not take price of bitcoin higher in future, we need to spend bitcoins and that is what its meant to.

I am not spending my coins on a daily basis. But at least 2/3 times a month I buy things online.
Sometimes on bitcointalk and sometimes online in the shops that accept bitcoin. So i do spend, but not active.
I spend my bitcoins almost daily, basically in three things : Gambling with bitcoins, in trading with altcoins and for exchanges with other currencies. Can you please tell me shops that accept bitcoins, I am very very curious to know them Smiley and more importantly use them.

Definitely do. I invest my bitcoin and spend it sometimes on gift card purchases online. However, I don't spend it in real life simply because there is a lack of vendors in real life.

Would like to see more physical vendors accepting BTC in future.

For what we spend bitcoin if out in the future bitcoin prices will be very high far from the current price range, I think we should continue to hold bitcoin until it can force the price till touched $ 1,000.

Converting is the solution since it's just the same as doing payment in bitcoin to some physical stores that accepts bitcoin.

Actually many merchants will open of adding bitcoin as one of their payment method if most of the coins are used in the market. Right now the role of bitcoin in most of the cases is investment.

Its true that many merchants are now opening to add bitcoin as a way of payment and the recent we have is the steam community and I hope league of legends shop will adopt too or Garena store.

Yeah majority of people are taking it as an investment for the future, as price will go higher in future which can earn them huge profits, and the fact is at a moment we don't find many places where we can spend our coins.

Not as much as I would want to. The options are not as many as possible. There are some options online but I would prefer to buy in physical shops. That is why the only use for it right now is to pay bills online and load my mobile phone.

Its good not to spend now, better you hold your coins for halving, spend when you see the best price of bitcoin, and if you don't have option to spend then convert it to your local currency.

It is good too to spend it since your letting bitcoin to circulate around rather than selling it which decrease the demand of the coin.

physical vendors are available nowadays for the acceptance of bitcoin but still you can buy physical things with bitcoin from a number of online stores which accept bitcoin as payment, which you can call as the physical use of bitcoin in your life.

Are you from Philippines (or I think it will work too outside the country) ? If yes you may use coins.ph exchange. It offers a service where you can use your bitcoin to purchase Garena Shells.

No additional rate. 1:1. Better check it out.

If you invest by keeping only your bitcoins then the supply circulation in the market will be lessen and that is what is happening now because people believe that halving will give them a good profit so they are holding their bitcoins, and due to the high demand of supply the price is still increasing.

Halving round the corner no one will prefer to spend their coins, as everyone wants to make profits and I am sure everyone will sell their coins at the time of halving, not before that.

The halving is near and people as far as i know are trying to hold as much as possible because we think that the price of bitcoin will increase maybe double than right now and no I'm not spending.

Yeah, majority of us doing the same that we are holding our bitcoins for the next couple of months, it is expected that price would be much higher after the halving.

The bitcoin has proved many times itself that has potential to go more than 1000+ dollars, and i believe that bitcoin is on its way to this target. The halving is less than 3 weeks to happen and I hope to see good surprises. So spending or selling the bitcoins now does not seem to me as the best option so we are not spending them yet.

The halving is near and people as far as i know are trying to hold as much as possible because we think that the price of bitcoin will increase maybe double than right now and no I'm not spending.

Yeah, majority of us doing the same that we are holding our bitcoins for the next couple of months, it is expected that price would be much higher after the halving.

The bitcoin has proved many times itself that has potential to go more than 1000+ dollars, and i believe that bitcoin is on its way to this target. The halving is less than 3 weeks to happen and I hope to see good surprises. So spending or selling the bitcoins now does not seem to me as the best option so we are not spending them yet.

Exactly and we have really waited for long time to see the best price of bitcoin and now we have reached to that stage where we may see all time high price of bitcoin in coming days.

I am not spending my coins on a daily basis. But at least 2/3 times a month I buy things online.
Sometimes on bitcointalk and sometimes online in the shops that accept bitcoin. So i do spend, but not active.

We all love to spend our coins for buying online stuff but I think we should stop spending now as halving is very near and it will show us some best price of bitcoin.
Already near to 800$ is bitcoins price right now and I expect to get it over 1000$ for sure and hence I am not spending them for now, I am thinking of saving them for at least 1 month and then see how it goes. Yes I do gamble a few bitcoins though but very few.
