I don't actively spend my bitcoin because my bitcoin is valuable to me I don't treat it as currency but as stocks.
On one side bad of me cause it doesn't really help the coin but it does help my wallet to grow!

Yup saving them for future is the right thing to do in order to generate more profits but we should also spend them sometime to circulate them which will help bitcoin economy.

people have different reasons on how and why they use bitcoin. in that aspect, someone using bitcoin solely as an investment tool, is not interested in using it also to buy stuff with. their only route is, buy bitcoin with fiat, and sell bitcoin back to fiat. that's all these people are interested in.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

People who treat bitcoin as an pure investment will never prefer to spend them actively and will surely hold them for long term so that they can sell them when price goes higher in future.

Yes, many time i spend my bitcoins but only online buying something, and secondly it help me many times when i want to transfer my amount but i have not used my bitcoins in any stores, because i don't know any stores are near of my area, And finally, i don't thing that it is good to use your bitcoin in stores, if fiat currency is here so use it easily.

You can't called a bitcoin investment if people will use it regularly. To feel the profits in holding bitcoin, they must add the quantity of it rather than spend it.

Adding quantity can take placed by doing buy and sell of bitcoins and earning it in any various methods.

I don't actively spend my Bitcoins at the moment. To be honest, because of the lack of the establishments that actually accepts Bitcoin, people can't actually "actively" spend their Bitcoins. I guess most of us would just be holding our Bitcoins for now and then convert it to fiat when the price increases so we could finally spend it.

Holding bitcoins for a few years is a bit risky and too long imo. We don't know what happen to bitcoin on that years. For me better spend your bitcoin for invest in bitcoin for short-term

That's right the price of bitcoin is unpredictable, either it can go higher or lower so its better to keep on making profits from it in short term by investing it in trading.
yeah true I agree with you other than you have to wait a long time you're Also not necessarily benefit. see was a few years ago the price was at $ 1200 and is currently very under-priced it, so do investments conditional course, when the pump price advantage of it to be an profit for you

Yes, I actively spend my bitcoin, I just have my first bought item, a GPU from my earning in joining the signature campaign of Pesobit.  If I have more bitcoin, i will still spend it to buy my needs to upgrade my PC to a higher end one.

Yes that is also the right way because spending them is not smart at all and I think that we can make some good money with the bitcoin too.
Holding is the way to go right now with this future.

That is true if you are going to allow yourself to learn here in forum for sure you are going to make good amount of bitcoins here. And once you are able to sell your services, you can just offer that at the services section. And when you are already earning good amount of bitcoins then you can now start spending your bitcoins actively, like buying loads or gift cards with the use of bitcoin.

I mostly buy online with Bitcoin, use it for gaming to buy in game currency and from time to time to buy drink at one coffee shop near my place.
Maybe in the future there are many stores and businesses what will accept bitcoin, they are already aware but they still in doubt due to the price volatility, when the time comes that the price of bitcoin will be stable, maybe even in department stores they will accept bitcoin as a form of payment so that would be convenient to us.

Wow, your friend is so good to lead you here...Some don't let their friends know what bitcointalk is, and it is because of that, they don't want others to know about signature campaign...  Maybe you could check the services section for other job opportunities and not just in signature campaign... Good luck to that..  Smiley
I have friend that i convince to user bitcoin and i give my alt account with full member rank to start earning in signature campaign but later on my account got banned he do not know why but the opportunity to him is there if he give more care on posting.

That's great to hear that you took an initiative and gifted your account to your friend so that he can start earning bitcoins from signature campaign but you should also guide him with the rules and regulations and that will surely help him.

and also the legality of bitcoin that is scaring some. I hope someday what you said will come true so we can easily spend our bitcoins the way we want it spent.

I mostly buy online with Bitcoin, use it for gaming to buy in game currency and from time to time to buy drink at one coffee shop near my place.
Maybe in the future there are many stores and businesses what will accept bitcoin, they are already aware but they still in doubt due to the price volatility, when the time comes that the price of bitcoin will be stable, maybe even in department stores they will accept bitcoin as a form of payment so that would be convenient to us.

and also the legality of bitcoin that is scaring some. I hope someday what you said will come true so we can easily spend our bitcoins the way we want it spent.
Things will definitely change in future and we will find many places to spend them but even at that point of time there will be many people who will prefer to hold their coins.

I do not spend Bitcoin to often because I know that they can be worth allot in the future so it would be waist to be spending them all.
Most of the time I just hold on to them and try to get more of them day by day.
