I'm not sure what are you trying to say here?
May merchants offering services and accepting bitcoin payments.
We have to keep or store our bitcoin funds somewhere, in some wallet, the same as real money.
It's individual decision if someone will spend his/her bitcoin or wait for price increase.
You can't force anyone to spend.

I'm just promoting the everyday use of Bitcoin (or spending of them), why not.

wait for price increase

Spend Your Bitcoins.

You could always do both. Put some round amount in cold wallet and actively use the rest. Biggest problem is not many people have any sort Bitcoin earnings, that's currently the biggest obstacle in BTC adoption and it's use as currency.

You can maintain equilibrium - hold and spend at the same time. I have some bitcoin for saving and some for spending.
Storing bitcoins is not against bitcoin idea at all. The idea is - you can do whatever you want with your bitcoins.

[Raimonn]

Isn't a bad thing to store bitcoins. You can spend bitcoins for your daily shoppings and store some on a cold wallet for the future, the same that you do with fiat money. I didn't spend all the fiat money of my salary on shoppings, i try to have some money for saving. And i try to do the same with bitcoins, i spend some and i save bitcoins when i can.

[NorrisK]

Just like fiat money it is not wise to spend all your bitcoin.

I agree that spending bitcoin is an integral part of bitcoin. But if you want to increase the value of bitcoin by spending, it is also wise to keep some stored away for when that price increase happens.

Remember, not all coins need to be in circulation for it to allow to be used. Just look at gold and what tiny % of that is transacted daily.

the same that you do with fiat money

Storing fiat money is a bad idea for some countries.
Just check the situation in Russian Federation.

I disagree and would argue that this is nonsense. You're viewing Bitcoin as a currency. Do not people store their own money in banks as life savings? Is this not one of the aspects of a real currency? The difference here is that you're your own bank and thus responsible for your own money. Obviously you should not just be saving, but also using Bitcoin. However, there is nothing wrong with storing.

I agree, but I'd say it is among the biggest obstacles (not the sole one) in adoption. There needs to be more ways to get paid in Bitcoin.

Yeah thats why Gold is on the trillion marketcap, because everyone uses it everyday and spends it right? Please don't be this stupid. Spending it or not is irrelevant, Bitcoin can grow anyway, no need to push people into buying things they already can buy with fiat.

If the offer of services in BTC will result cheaper or faster or better in BTC, than with other currencies or payment options, people will goes to exchangers to buy BTC.

And if people goes to buy or earn BTC to store - this is against BTC diffusion.

This is the best idea and close to what i do. i wait for btc to be at a level that i am happy with and then when it has arrived there i spend.
I have btc i store and btc i spend so i am doing my bit for btc and the coin i store is not against btc. I do get what your saying and we do need more spending but that is just people preference what they do. One day hopefully there will be a lot of adoption so there will be big spenders in the mix too.

no because you spend all your fiat currency or you store just something?
also btc could be a good storage for money,.... I think the good approach is on the  middle... not store all, not spend all!

People is fucked off by fiat in Russia.

[twister]

I spend whenever/wherever I can, though its hard to trust new services but you can't tell people to do what they should/shouldn't with their money, everyone is free to make their own decisions.

[Denker]

Storing is not against Bitcoin!
The less coins in circulation the higher the demand for the ones avalaible.Scarcity dude!
On the other hand you're right that spending bitcoin is an important part of the ecnomy as well.
So I would say both is good and important!

There will always be people willing to sell, there is not a problem of lack of diffusion of BTC... the price will just go higher if there is demand, and since BTC can be divided as much as we wasn't there is not a problem of liquidity possible in any case.

In the city, where i live, and this city is a big Italian city,
with over 500000 abitants, and multiple neiborghood,
with other tousands of resident people,
 is the only 1 shop, that accept BTC (a computer shop)

You mean we shouldn't use bitcoin only to store value?

Well storage is part of every kind of currency. It's important to be able to store value.

[xuan87]

maybe what you mean is, try to spend your bitcoin dont just store it, because when you store bitcoin its become inactive and then bitcoin will become dormant, when you spend your btc its mean you helping the flow of bitcoin, with this action bitcoin can live longer
