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?
yes, I've often perform transactions to purchase goods with bitcoin. but not to a company. only fellow users of bitcoin, and it's been a lot here. it would be better if we spend for bitcoin bitcoin to use the goods / services at a company great. it will certainly increase the popularity of bitcoin

Im transacting daily in bitcoin, not just "spending without rebuying" but I'm running a small business and paying and receiving almost 80% of all funds in and out in bitcoin - around $50-100 a day approx (0.1+ per day). Really pleased, its really possible to do business in bitcoin , and I'm not just doing it cos I'm a bitcoin fanboy and trying to only do business in bitcoin, its actually just easier, instant (especially to buy and sell advertising) - loving it!

When I first got into things, I thought I'd be spending them left and right.  Didn't happen lol...and still holding most, trading when I can/see fit.

Well no , Not at the moment , I'am not spending anything , and I don't have that much to spend anyways . but I will start spending if I see that bitcoin isn't rising at all  Cry I know it's a long term investement but it's just stuck at ~300-380$.

you ahve to be really dumb to be spending bitcoins at this point.

I second this.
HOLD all coins...unless you buy at current rate and use at current rate. (defeats the purpose though)

Rather than taking an exchange rate hit to 'replace it as you spend it' wouldn't it make more sense to just buy it as you need it, so buy the amount you need and spend it instantly so there is less exchange rate risk and you still support the system?

I use it where ever i can:

- Pay rent through localbitcoins
- Pay for flight if i can
- Change for cash if fiat is not around
- Use it instead of fiat in cases where fiat is not very efficient or as easy (which happens alot)
- gain access to cash when banks are closed or to transfer to friends as cash rather than bank transfers

The more i use it the more the bitcoin ecosystem is turning Cheesy

I still have not spent any bitcoins in a long time.   I have tried to get Restoration Hardware to accept BTC...so far have been unsuccessful.

I am also in the process of trying to get my dentist to start accepting BTC.   I am going to get veneers, so it would be cool if he accepted BTC.

Other than that, I am just staying put with what I have for the time being...riding the waves up and down.   Mainly down lately obviously...
