I reckon that the more btc gets accepted the less the price will be as will be well recognized

I carry a small amount in my phone and have so far made online purchases. I'm the type that hoard my coins not selling back to fiat but spend at the same time. When price is low i buy to increase my stash size.

I feel like gollum and will not be giving up 'my precious' for quite a few years yet, this is an investment for the long term and i am sure would regret spending my coin on small bits and bobs when a few months later it would work out that i paid $50 a coffee or something lol I have invested in this like you would investing in stocks, you do not go spend stocks on a regular so i will not start with bitcoin thank us hoarders we help the price rise threw lack of availability.
This.My BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TYYY SEAA
I cant give up btc, its like giving up gold.

Paying with Bitcoin has several disadvantages now. If I use my credit card, I get 2% cash back. if I use bitcoin, I have to pay 1% because at some point I need to convert my cash to Bitcoin.
If Bitcoin is better for merchants, then they should be willing to offer users a discount to buy with Bitcoin. If merchants gave me a 5% discount to buy with BTC, I would. Assuming the percentage they lose to chargebacks is at least 2%, this could be profitable for them (2% for chargebacks, + 3% to the credit card companies that they're saving).

To me Bitcoin is not for a coffee purchase or cigarettes or anything small and never will be, maybe litecoin or doge will be good for that.
Bitcoin to me will be for anything you would usually buy online with a creditcard, its safer to not have details all over the place it is quicker and with smartcontracts could even buy a house or car, holidays etc
But i will not be spending the in the local store of coffee shop

I'm ready and willing provided I don't have to wait 6 confirmations for a larger purchase to go through. I know for smaller ones, the payment processors can set it to zero, since there's less risk, but if I'm buying something substantial, I need to know it went through sooner.
Otherwise, I'll have to look into Gyft, Purse.io, and Brawker to act as a middleware of sorts, since direct purchases are still not quite ready for primetime.

The hoarding mentality is still deeply in place, this isn't entirely a bad thing. There are however a steady base that continues to spend their BTC's.

I pay with Bitcoin whenever I can, I wish my usual stores would hurry up and accept it already.
February 17, 2015, 10:06:48 AM
Until now i haven't payed anything with BTC.
I don't have very much as well, but keep it for the long future.
I will see what happens in a few years.
I have a lot of patience.

Of course I am, but that doesn't mean I spend it a lot, I am still trying to hold as much bitcoin as I can get my hands on.

I have already made some payments with bitcoin, the problem is that there is not many place accepting bitcoin available in my country
What did you pay?
What if there is one thing you could pay with Bitcoin and can not what that would be?

I want to vote: I have bitcoins and are not ready and not willing to make payments in Bitcoin, plain simple: i think the current price/value is low now and i rather want more bitcoins 
Why not buy extra intended to be spent now? For your investment, the end result is the same, and you help to further bitcoin acceptance in your community. February 12, 2015, 04:14:56 PM

Thats like storing it as gold, waiting for the price to increase over time.
Perhaps, still accumulating slowly... oh and gambling on alt coins
