I have a confession to make: I still have to buy anything online using my Bitcoin. Of course, I am not including the coins/tokens I bought during their ICOs. Except for that, I have not used my Bitcoin for anything because I am actually treating Bitcoin as a way for me to save rather than a currency to spend.

In other words, I am also a speculator just like most of us here. We want to hold on to the Bitcoin we have as much as possible because even if there are times when Bitcoin can dip in value the overall trend is going up. Right now, there is a retreat in the value of Bitcoin but it is just gathering some inertia before jumping into a higher wall.

Are you a speculator or a spender?

I am both speculator and spender, you are not using bitcoin to buy because maybe you have not found the marketplace where because is being used you are a filipino and coins.ph which accept bitcoin has a lot of merchant partners where you can use coins.ph so try to explore coins.ph.

Wise opinion, I think the main function of bitcoin is for long term investment so if we use now then we will regret later because of the more expensive price, better keep bitcoin and feel the profit in the future.

I'm a speculator not a spender. And I guess that about everyone here is a speculator. This is why people ask if bitcoin is real money, this is why bitcoin price has not gone up to 10000 in this bubble. Because poeple tend to speculate it for other assests, instead of buying goods with it. If this trend continues the bitcoin price will not go towards 1 million as it was intially intended by its creator (Satoshi Nakamoto). Bitcoin was made to buy goods with it, to make easier transactions, now for poeple to speculate it.

Unfortunately I have to spend all my bitcoin earnings since I started collecting bitcoin wayback 2014 for a living of course paying bills and using as a capital into a small business yes you heard it right instead of holding my hard earned btc before I used it to make a small business and until now its pretty growing I might not holding many btc but I never regret spending it into small family business because Im earning enough money from btc and for now Im slowly earning btc again from bitcoin/altcoin trading and hold some profits if not needed.

I used to spend my bitcoin alot back in the day when bitcoin was still around the $1000-$1500 mark, whereas I would use my bitcoin to pay for proxies/VPNs, and occasionally some Steam games, all those digital stuff as I don't trust other sites enough(besides Steam) to enter my credit card info. As of now it's pretty much just pure speculation and investing, and sometimes trading in and out of other cryptocurrency coins as I'm not willing to pay for $10-$15 stuff online with around $3 fees. I'm not seeing myself using bitcoin for payment again soon, unless this scaling issue gets fixed once and for all.

This has been the trend i am seeing from the last 2 years, People are now becoming speculators, instead of being spenders, For me personally I have just used bitcoin once this year for payment purposes, This used to be quite higher back in 2014, I think this is also one of the major reason why bitcoin price has jumped up, because people are spending less and saving more. I strongly agree with you about the payment fees, We need the lightning network implemented asap or less this trend of saving bitcoins will just continue.

the same as me, i will rather save for now my bitcoin than to spend, im really expecting that bitcoin and its value will go up. but ofcourse if something will show up and i really need to buy it and well bitcoin will be the least priority for my finance, for now i would go trading and make some profit on it and see what's the future have for me.

Same here, I'm more of a speculator and hoarder of bitcoins rather than spending them. Although there are times I would convert my altcoins to bitcoin for my daily needs but I only withdraw them very often. Like in a month I would probably withdraw them around once or twice, if my daughter also need something from school that's the time I withdraw my converted altcoins.

I always tend to hold just use spare for alt trading as I seen a lots of potential that bitcoin value will rise up but sometimes I also needed to sell some of it
just to filled up what I need, bitcoin as of now help me to pay some of bills because our local exchange have this features.

Don't feel bad about it, for starters.

I have bought one thing, about 4 years ago now, online, using Bitcoin. Nowadays I am being more of a speculator and doing the same kinds of things most people are probably doing with their Bitcoin on exchanges, and I am relatively comfortable with that kind of style and performance within the marketplace and community. There isn't really anything that I really want to buy these days, so why not make the most out of what I have available to me?

1xBit.. recovered their reputation

most of us here may withhold the bitcoin and be made as an investment, just like me too, I do not really use my bitcoin for pleasure, because the trend now is the investment trend .. Grin

Ofcourse yes you can buy anything by using this but for me first i will convert it into real money to buy anything like my friend he buys anything that he want becase he have a lot of bitcoin as far as now.

Isn't that how its suppose to be? After earning i tend to spend the profited amount leaving my original money still in a wallet while converting others to fiat cash. I would say i am spender but the money i invested would not be touched until there had been enough earnings. I do agree that most of us here are speculators waiting and hording until its the right time to sell.

I am a holder of coins. I don't earn much of them, but think that the potential of bitcoin is really high, and it will reach definitely high value until it stabilizes. But yes, whenever I need something I might aswell buy it with BTC, or buy a gift card with BTC and then do my shopping online.
