Hold most, but I buy using bitcoin whenever possible to help it gain traction.

Bought one of these with bitcoin recently..

yeah i don't really spend my coins either.. i'm just not really a big spender, and i'm hoping bitcoin can reach the level where i no longer have to worry about money, but instead can pursue the things i really wanna do: mainly to travel.

I've bought some small stuff only to try how it works, I think that with the exponential increasing value
buying something with bitcoins is only a waste of money.

You could also look at it as the complete opposite as well.   During a price rally, you will get more bang for your BTC, if the prices correct back downwards right after you spend your btc.


If you can time the top of the market (which is always a guess), just as you would when you are trying to sell BTC, you will be able to buy more with your money.

I have to admit that I rarely use it to spend.   I am using it more as a storage of value.   I do buy a few things here and there, and make little bets with people here and there, but have never gone online shopping with BTC

I'm bullish BTC so when I use it (I favour stores that accept BTC, regardless of any discount) I immediatey back some back.  I very recently opted for scan (a UK tech retailer that accepts bitcoins) rather than going with my default, which is Amazon.

There is one thing though that is stunting bitcoin's growth in online shopping (where it's most likely to make an impact first): credit card rebates. Virtually all credit cards people use nowadays offer some sort of point/cashback system, which is, of course, paid from the retailer's pocket in terms of outrageous fees. It should be in every retailer's best interest to offer significant incentives to use bitcoin, in terms of fee savings: even something crazy as 5% cash back on all purchases, forever when paid in BTC would probably result in net savings for most retailers. Other creative things: free giftcards (instead of cashback) for even more retailer margin, drawing for cool and awesome items when bill is paid with BTC, etc etc.

Yes I do. I pay my mobile bill with Bitcoin each month. Works great as I pay with phone wallet so I just have to scan in a QR code. It's faster then paying with creditcard. It only takes a few seconds.
