I don't spend it actively, tbh.  I believe that spending the coins now is  just not very smart , due to the fact that btc has a lot more  to offer in the near future..
Everybody hopes for that.
Spending Bitcoin can help to increase the value. If more people use it, it gets accepted in more places. That can give a higher value.

thats true, in order for bitcoins to actually exist i think that it would be way better that it was used all the time by people, that would mean that way more bitcoin shops would be created and the adoption would get a chance to be much faster than it is now

however im not actively spending my money because i dont have enough bitcoins right now to use on regular basis, though i hope in the future everything is going to change, if there were way more shops i would definitely use bitcoins instead of fiat

not a lot of people are spending their money with bitcoins now unfortunately and i dont think that they will be doing it in the future, for it to happen we would need an adoption that would happen at a very rapid pace

yeah i think spending will help the bitcoin indirectly. because if you do you will necessarily require spending more bitcoin and it will increase the demand for bitcoin ?

The use is important to  control the volatility, but  apparently the problem will not be  resolved very soon.. We need more people understand the  benefits of using Bitcoin, that way there  will be more users adopting the  currency and  bringing liquidity to the market.

I actually use bitcoin based on my needs, but I have to redeem all bitcoin habit I have. but it rarely happens, because I always collect more than 0.1 BTC before I really mengahbiskan my bitcoin. but if it does not need the money, maybe I just spend it to pay for internet

At the moment, I don't. I'm still waiting for the next major price pump. I didn't sell at the price pump before halving because I thought after the halving the price would even be higher. I still have fiat so holding on my Bitcoins isn't a problem to me.

Well that is good that you have some spare for buying other needs. I tend to use it all the time due to certain things that is occuring. But i dont regret it. I feel much better actually thinking all my hard work is payed.

I'm not spending it  right now, I believe that at the moment  the best thing to do is  to keep it save, I will only use them or cash  out after something around seven months from now..

What if the price after 7 months will drop, I know you are expecting for the price to rise like everyone else, but mind you there is not assurance so we need to be specific with our goal.

Yeah there is no guarantee that we will see higher price in coming months, so if current price is allowing  you to make profits then better to sell them and buy it again when price drops in future.

If we're taking a look at the previous years, we can see that it always was an increase of the price during each winter. Therefore, I guess this year it won't be different. Many people are investing in BTC for the New Year, or buying gifts for others. It's winter, so it's gift time!! Cheesy

This is what I am doing since I am a bitcoin holder but still we can't remove the chances the we really need to spend some bitcoins in able to get good profit with other investments or to satisfy our needs. So I have my allocation for the bitcoins that I am going to hold and I have my funds also for spending it for buying things online.

Its good idea to hold on your bitcoins right now and just keeping them safe,but still you cannot say anything about the price of bitcoin where it goes at what time,so i dont understand your theory of seven months,well i still spend little bit but i am also planning now only to collect bitcoins.

yes try to collect as much as you can and save it for future and if everything goes fine then we will witness much higher price at the end of the year and that would be the best time to sell coins to gain higher profits.

No I do not spend my bitcoins actively because of the fact that I cannot spend them right now, there are no really interesting things for me that I want.
If there will be more nice stores that are interesting for em I will spend some.

I am planning on converting all of my bitcoin to fiat this coming October, whatever the price by that time will be. I guess I'll just have to start from scratch after I sell everything. If only bitcoin can be used directly to pay for a party that I'm planning, then I wouldn't hesitate to pay that with bitcoin.

I wish you all the best mate, I hope the price during that time will be at least $1,000 so you can get the better value of your bitcoins, it is really good to earn online and only we have more chance to hold our coins the better but sadly we need to prioritize our bills and pay it.
