Two types of Bitcoiners, Which are you?

[bryant.coleman]

Type 2.

In my country, none of the retailers accept BTC. If I want to buy a vehicle or a house, then I must make the payment in fiat cash. So I am holding my coins for now, but when the time comes, I will convert them to fiat or gold. I am still hopeful that the situation may change in the near future. May be in 2020, I will be able to pay my home loan with BTC.

Type 1, "I cant wait for the price of Bitcoin to rise so I can buy a new Lamborghini with my Bitcoin."


Type 2, "I cant wait for the price of Bitcoin to rise so I can sell my bitcoin and buy a new Lamborghini."

(Just want to clarify that the car isn't important in these two statements, but rather the Spend VS Sell)

Type 1..Actually, I like to buy a lot using my bitcoins because I believe in bitcoin..This time I am planning to buy a big thing after the halving..Hope my dream becomes fulfilled..

...

neither and both.
i am holding bitcoin and i will sell some of it if the price goes high to a price that i find favorable just to make some profit out of it but in the end i am just waiting for the real deal, when bitcoin is mass adopted and i can use bitcoin to buy stuff directly

I am the type of "I cant wait for the price of Bitcoin to rise so I can buy a new Lamborghini with my Bitcoin."

I prefer to enjoy bitcoin being accepted in global where i can spend it all the way i want, and every shop accepted bitcoin rather than i need to calculate it to fiat

I'm kind of both. Half I can't wait, half I gotta sell.

My second half depends on whether fiat is still the standard and if it still has value.

Second course, I prefer to use bitcoin for trading rather than to purchase goods. because the trade I could add my bitcoin little by little. Thank you

[bitkilo]

I prefer to sell them rather then spending them, and I don't have many choices to spend it so I convert it to my local currency and then spend.

If you could find what you want to buy on a online site or via a service like purse.io then you would be saving money spending your bitcoins.
To cash them out there is always some sort of fees involved and often you will find that if you can pay in bitcoin you will get a nice little discount.

[silpersurfer]

i choose 1 , will be good if shop can accept bitcoin as payment ,and it will be very simple 

[2double0]

I like hodling to sell, I don't like shopping too much.
Selling and getting some profit and reinvesting is a better way to grow our coins more, so that money might get used to shop in fiat.

[superbit123]

I am type one

[MbitSport]

I don't have why would people bitcoin sell their bitcoin and buy something if they can use bitcoin directly to buy what they need, i mean it's faster and you can avoid fees and things such as identity confirmation when you sell/buy biycoin.

I don't really get it either, i mean i can kind of understand if were talking about todays bitcoin, as in right now at its current price and level of adoption, but i don't understand that if the price were to really moon, and i do mean reeally moon, and merchant adoption is more common place, why sell? or why plan to sell, i thought the bitcoin goal was value increase + mainstream adoption (even if its mainly online), not just price increase.

if i had 1 BTC, and 1 BTC was to rise to a value of $200k, i would feel more confident keeping my 200k in bitcoin.

Am i just naïve and overly optimistic? or does Bitcoin have real promise? I must say, i have high hopes for bitcoin, not just the price of bitcoin, but the application of bitcoin.

"I cant wait for the price of Bitcoin to rise so I can buy a new Lamborghini with my Bitcoin. I will choose number 1 since it implies that we dont need to sell bitcoins to buy lambourgini. Instead number 1 quotes that we can buy lambourgini directly using bitcoin as your mode of exchange to get the item. It will be wonderful if society will accept bitcoins when you buy something, im excited to buy a cup of coffee using bitcoins directly.

[MTBTT]

I think people will be happy to convert it to a fiat then do the spending. only a few people doing spending bitcoin. and of course as only a few stores that accept bitcoin

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I hold bitcoin as if it were precious metal.  You would sell gold to buy the Lamborghini,  and I would sell bitcoin likewise.   I really don't think bitcoin is going to catch on as a currency,  but who knows.

Well because price is unpredictable, sometimes people will land for both scenarios stated.

[X7]

I didn't see option three - Hodl to Hodl

[jt byte]

I want to holt on to what I have now but the bearish part of me says to sell to get some now.
 
I am at a conundrum.

Type 1, "I cant wait for the price of Bitcoin to rise so I can buy a new Lamborghini with my Bitcoin."
yes I really can not wait to increase the price of BTC. I hope even more so for the rise I sell tong balance in large amounts. i hope so.

The problem with statement number 1 is that we potentially could never see this in action. While option 2 is very much possible now.
I don't have the luxury of keeping all my bitcoins stashed - and wait for mass adoption. I need to exchange portion of my BTC regularly to sustain my living expenses.

[Doms]

Since I treat bitcoin mainly as another form of investment, I would fall under the category those who HODL and SELL. But basically I just hold and hold, most of it anyway, because I still spend some from time to time. Maybe when the price reaches $1000, I'd sell a lot but still keep some for longer holding.
