Just download a new copy of Bitcoin Core, send your BTC to your new address, then close the application before it can download the blockchain.
Then, next time you get the urge to spend that BTC, you'll have to wait about 2 days.

You can always dump the private keys and import them somewhere else if you really want to spend the bitcoins without downloading the blockchain.

See, you're already thinking of ways to circumvent your own savings plan. For the compulsive gambler or addict, of course no risk will seem too great if it will get them their fix. Sure, just email your private keys from your work computer to your home computer. That's the kind of thinking that got Gilligan stuck on the island, and that's how the terrorists win. |

Well, you have a lot of time to think about stuff while you're watching the block index number grow. A watched blockchain never syncs. I always thought that was just a meaningless ancient saying, until I realized that synchronization is a fleeting thing. Much like perfection, sync can only be tasted for a brief moment before inevitably being lost again. |

Send the BTCs to a paper wallet, and try to don't use them.

Or you could just store your coins offline and then become too paranoid to even put them back on your computer like I do hehe. Personally I don't like bitcoincore because of the age waiting for the blockchain to download all the time. |

A good way to prevent yourself from spending your bitcoins when you are drunk is to send them to a paper wallet with no QR code. If you can type in all 52 characters, you must be sober.

Uhh... Wasn't the point of Bitcoin that people will use it to buy stuff with it? Advising people to not use their coins is just nonsense. |

Another thing is to work on postponed gratification, even if you do manage to save the coins other times you will have money and spend it needlessly. |

Paper wallet, with the private keys stored in a bank wallet, is just as effective.  |

Beyond cold wallets, paper wallets, multisig wallets, split keys and other methods, you can also simple ask someone to hold them for you, or request an escrow for this... And most importantly, learning how to behave Some people have real issues about that and don't change because they're afraid to admit their flaw! |

Uhm, can't you just transfer your Bitcoin to a paper wallet or hardware wallet, then throw in a safe?
I'd think that would deter even the most impulsive spenders, since they'll have to jump through hoops just to access it.

It's funny because this is true It takes a while for the up to date node to reload all transactions again it can spend the balances you have till the point you closed it though so it's best for new inputs hehe |
Believing in Bitcoins and it's ability to change the world
