when should bitcoin hodlers start spending ?

[Kakmakr]

People should not be stupid. We do not know if this experiment is going to be successful, so we have to take some profits and
invest it into something else. I would suggest doing this until you get your capital investment back. If you do it this way and the experiment fail, then you at least got your own capital investment back.

We have serial hoarders here and these people are going to lose a lot of money and time, if this thing

Why not? If they think it's reached or beyond their target to hold, it's ok to spend it a little or much. They are free to sell or hold again but don't be greedy the holder also need real money too. In fact we don't know maybe the rate someday will dump or even pump again

Spend bitcoins in Some altcoins that have big potential and to identify them you have to do your own research about the technology they brings the team and the company roadmap. After that when you are satisfied with the btc value growth of your altcoins at the end of the day don't forget to go back in basic and it is the btc.
Because no matter what altcoins will soar or fall, At the end of the day btc will remain as the father of all altcoins as all of this shitcoins are coming just to increase the demand of BTC as it is used as primary mode of payment i exchnage of their shitcoins.

We always know bitcoin will rise every year, so it will be a great investment for investors to invest in bitcoin, they will surely trade bitcoin for profit, but they will know the day they must stop investing due to bitcoin drop heavily, and they will use their money to invest in altcoins or spending it.

HODL/Investment = Profit
at some point spending will begin...

Well for me, I think if the bitcoin became stable, bitcoin will no longer be good at investment. So I think that's the right time for you to spend your bitcoin or reinvest it to another cryptocurrency that you think will be a boom like the bitcoin was.

[Bennie1089]

I think ppl consider Bitcoin an investment tool now, because its value is too big, big trade is possible but using Bitcoin for purchasing is irrelevant since we have so many altcoins now

[kerjakuat]

i spent my bitcoin when i need the most.. if not i will using it to buy some altcoin to double it if lucky.

You can spend your bitcoins anytime, but it is correct that hodling the coins will result to a higher profit at the end. I would suggest if you have other sources of income you can use that first for your expenses and just hodl your bitcoins until it reach your desired value to sell it.

[AndriyPilipyak]

its depend when you need money and how much money do you need, I can wait, yes I take a risk, but I believe that I do right

[Blue2012]

For me much better to keep holding our bitcoin for investment purposes because we see the continue progression of bitcoin value and it will continue to gives us hope to earn good profit in the future.

In time they will,, if they needed the money for sure.. But if not it is on they’re own decisions if they don’t want to.. HODLING is still the most profitable way of investing this 2017 and might be carryover next year eventually.. I do hold but not as big as anyone else,, maybe because I don’t spent much of my money on buying bitcoin for the prices is just too high for me..

[Vaskiy]

Majority of the users have the mentality to spend bitcoin when it gets a stable price. In reality bitcoin needs to be spend quite often to have good circulation of bitcoin which is a must for growth. Unlike the price stability as well the increase its good to spend it periodically supporting the growth.

i think its depend on us, do we want to spend our bitcoin or not but for me, I am spend my bitcoin and exchange it into fiat because I need that money to buy something for my daily needs. every time I need money, I just exchange my bitcoin into fiat so I can use that money and sometimes if I want to save the money I can do it with easy. for people which have a lot of bitcoin, they don't thinking too much and they can exchange in any time but for people which don't have much of bitcoin, they will waiting until the price is reach the higher price then they exchange into fiat.

After all those years of holding of course early adopters would want to reap their reward for being able to hold that long. I think they eventually would. If I were in their position, I definitely would especially after gaining many profits. Especially if they were able to hold a good amount of coins - those who acquired two digits or more. But I think that some would still keep their coins, and they would just cash out a desired number.  Also, some coins should go back to the circulation.

[jseverson]

There's obviously no correct answer, but I believe the smartest one is to spend when necessary. This means you're continuing to HODL to your heart's content, but you're not depriving yourself of your needs either. Lots of people are so blinded by the prospect of multiplying their wealth that they forget that money is worthless if not spent. The middle ground seems like a fine place to be in. That's what I do, personally. When are you going to enjoy your gains if you're holding indefinitely, right?

There is no proper answer to your question. Every investor has a different goal price for bitcoin. Some may have 15k USD and some may have 20k USD as bitcoin's goal price. Whenever their goal price will be triggered, they will probably sell it up. Initially bitcoin started as an idea of decentralized currency to ease anonymous internet transaction. However, it has now became investor's heaven. No one knows how far it can go, so there is correct answer to your question.

If I were them, I will spend the profit for other business. This makes you diversify the portfolio. Avoiding the risk when Bitcoin falls down.

[n4poleon]

When these wall street fuckers and world elites starts to cash in so we can dump it on their heads.

[pearlmen]

If anyone would want to wait for the perfect time to spend his/her bitcoin, then that person will have to wait forever because the perfect time will not come. In the time of crashing prices, you want to wait for the price to pick up again, during the time of increasing in price you still want to wait for higher price and the cycle continues. When you are comfortable with price, sell and move on. Simple as that.

[Lucius]

Why not spend it and hold it in same time,of course in a certain proportion.I will pay/buy some things if it can do it with BTC,but most of my coins waiting for the price to be much higher than this today.There is always a risk when it comes to BTC,hold or sell at some price it's always a question.

If you believe that BTC will go down to 0 and not have future then sell today and take profit-on the other side if you think 1 BTC can be worth 50 000-100 000 $ in next few years then it would be a stupid move to start to spend it today.
