Are You Spending Bitcoin?

[TheNewAnon135246]

I've bought loads of things with bitcoin:

- PS4
- Nintendo Wii U
- Casascius Coins
- Sony Cybershot DSC-HX300
- Silver coins and bars

And more smaller purchases.

Every chance I get. I used expedia to get my hotel reservations. purchased a few items from the net. If you are worried about spending your coin and your a hodler, just use coinbase to replenish the coins you spend, it only costs you 1 percent and then you make sure that you dont go down in your holdings. I believe they have new feature that does this automatically. but itss not hard to do it manually..

if we dont use bitcoin, then merchants wont take it and that wont help bitcoin one bit.. we all need to spend it when we can. Just rebuy it if you want. or don't...

I just read this:
http://www.finance-guy.net/finblog/how-will-you-spend-your-bitcoin/10/8/2014

It raises an interesting point that if we spend Bitcoin to buy stuff, the companies will most likely sell the BTC pretty quickly.

What do you think?

Will shopping with Bitcoin be good or bad for the price of BTC?

They also have the option to hold certain % of btc with services like coinbase, at some point they will be able to purchase from suppliers etc in BTC. 

I spend little bits nothing major.

I spend it 2 times. Once for cpu mining and another time I bought a fiverr gig.

I spend bitcoins only during currency exchange , other than that I keep it stored and safe. Not an issue for me.

[bitcoinstarter]

I buy everything in Bitcoin

[Ron~Popeil]

I have used it with expedia and am switching to dish network. I am working on getting my wholesalers to take it but my volume isn't enough to get their interest just yet.

I try to hold, also trading for more coins I like and for more Bitcoin is my overall goal.  I also spend on a potential investment opportunity I find on the forums any way to flip my coins for more with low risk is nice. 

I really think that spending Bitcoin gives merchants more incentive to accept Bitcoin.  I think the potential lower price is very much worth the acceptance of Bitcoin.  It bothers me that people are complaining about the adoption of Bitcoin and see the short term value of the coin go down.  We need to be able to see the big picture and to me that is mass adoption.

If anything see it as a buying opportunity for strong hands.  The holders and people that understand how to use Bitcoin and realize what it win the end game!
