Storing of Bitcoins is against Bitcoin.

[Hellacopter]

I think holding the bitcoins and storing it could be profitable for the holders if the price increase as expected. We need sometimes to spend some of our stored coins but there is no problem about holding the remaining, in my opinion.

That is really the use of storing of bitcoins. Is to get profit once the price goes up. Because we can get profit from it.
But as the title says,
if we are going to hold or store bitcoins it is against bitcoins.

I got the purpose of the thread starter.  As the other comment said, if all people will store bitcoin, then there will be nothing for the new user to buy.  It might be a gain in holders end but it will be hurting Bitcoin in terms of adoption.  Too high Bitcoin will make normal wager avoid it like a disease.  Why? Because normal people can't afford it.  then the purpose of BTC as global currency will then fail.

But that won't happen. Wanna know why?

As bitcoin continues to dominates the world of financial currency, there are already lots of opportunities or services that can be done by using bitcoin currency. And because that is the case now, no such thing as all people will hold their coins "for any instances. It's insane to think since "all people don't have the same standards and status of living". Also people have bitcoin for different purposes.

For a rich, they can hold for long, for an average earner, which is likely more in the community, they will hold a bit but I doubt they will holding for a long term.

i do agree with the OP,

its like cycle which needs to keep running if there is a stop the others things in the cycle won't move ahead. Mine>Spend>Block>mine

Spend Your Bitcoins.

Storing any currency is against this currency.
I agree we better spend btc, but you still have to gather something if you plan to spend it, right?

[will_k]

Look at any fiat currency discontinued due to war or revolution.  The money literally becomes a worthless sheet of paper

[isvicre]

If I acquire 10btc

Instead of holding, you can make working that money on p2p lending.

If someone have no Bitcoin income, the exchange taxes killing all the convenience for Bitcoin spending.
When Mastercard of Visa user is paying somethng in Supermarket with a card, the price is the same as for cash, and some times there are cashback options for credit card users.

I have in the past.  I got scammed most of the time. Even by B, A and A+ rated users. That is what is bad for bitcoin, sites like btcjam which do next to no scam prevention.  No thank you sir,  my p2p lending days are behind me,  I will hold and when required spend or trade.

it sounds a little bit like sarcasm but in my opinion the price of the bitcoin is definitely going to go up a lot and i doubt that storing bitcoins is against this currency

i am not agree with you. you can see that people are storing money in banks. banks are full of money. can you say that story on USD or any other currency is illegal.

I see, that people goes to p2p lending, thats is calling investing, not storing.

Are You sure about Banks?

P2P lending could be good for the circulation of the bitcoin. But it might be less safer than holding the bitcoin.

i agree with you if all of us holds bitcoin what would happen to our economy  it is just like the problem that is stated in our country , Which we always runs out of coins because too many people were storing it. Government advice's to spend your coins to keep its circulating in the economy

yes it will certainly increase the price of bitcoin. and it is better for the future of bitcoin. you can see that the miner are there and they will supply bitcoin to the market. therefore i think it is not against the law to hold bitcoin.

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.

30% of internet is accepting bitcoin as payment??  I don't think so.
Granted you can use Bitcoin to buy things but you need to search for places to use it and some of the largest internet retailers, Amazon for instances, currently do not accept Bitcoin.
Yes, you can buy or trade for a gift card if you want but, how many people do you know that would be willing to do that?  Not I

I agree, storing bitcoin is not against bitcoin but is pro bitcoin. I hold bitcoin and many others do in hope of a better future for us. The holders maybe slowing down its price rise as less activity in the market and trading of bitcoin but they surely think positive of bitcoin as there is no reason they would be holding it otherwise. Its just different point of view in this matter, some want bitcoin to be used as a wide currency, some just hold it to get better profit after some time. Both maybe right.
