A friend of mine changed my mind, because he says we (The Bitcoiners of this world) must support the merchants that supports Bitcoin or they will

Your friend is completely right. Bitcoin is meant to be used not to be stored. If everyone will refrain from using it then it will have no value.

Anyway, you can make some purchases now during the black friday using your bitcoins, so you don't miss the huge discounts, then buy more cryptos with cash later and refill your wallets.

"Bitcoin is meant to be used" that's right. But the question is "is it going to be used in a right way?". Many people use their money in an unnecessary things such as WANTS. But that's what they want that's their money. But you should consider a lot of things.

What if we buy those poor people their NEEDS just for us bitcoin holder to help them. Since it's black friday, we can buy them foods, clothes, and anything that will benefit them. So that they will understand what bitcoin can do to people.

Maybe I will buy Ledger Nano S Hardware Wallet, because there is a special discount for Black Friday.
Discounts are valid from November 25th yesterday and will end on December 2nd.
30% discount applies to all Ledger products.
Not bad to save expenses this month.

Payments can use Credit Cards, Paypal and can use Bitcoin through the Bitpay Application.

It is correct that we should at least spend our bitcoins not just hold it because it's a way to support merchants and promote bitcoin as well. Not only during black Friday or holidays but anytime we feel like spending it. Though I haven't bought anything because I don't want to spend my bitcoin on not so important things. And recently, I just bought something necessary so I have to save up before spending again.

Black Fiday is a long-awaited day for all those who love to shop. Buy some items that I want using bitcoin at a high discount if I'm interested too, Maybe I'll buy some tools that I need for a computer and some supporting accessories. I have prepared some Bitcoin for this Black Friday Event

Even though the BTC price has fallen, it can be still be used to purchase goods.
I bought a Bluetooth Mouse from Amazon by creating a listing for it in purse website for a discount.
It took a few days before someone fulfilled that order but I got good fifteen percent discount on it.
I didn't use my invested BTC but I converted the required BTC through fiat which took some time but received a good deal.

Since the value of Bitcoin is not going well so this is not a good time for buying with Bitcoin at the current situation, I think when the Bitcoin price will get high then we will get a more amount of USD or any local Fiat, for me, That time is perfect for purchasing anything through Bitcoin, not only that but also holding Bitcoin is better option than buying with Bitcoin anything, whatever the case is, Basically I don't have any fondness of Black Friday, so buying with Bitcoin is not a good choice due to lack of worth at this moment, and that's why I didn't buy anything on this Black Friday.

Black friday in our country is like sale, so apparently what it means is you will spend your money on things that you really don't need
for me instead of buying unnecessary,

Not necessarily true. You can use once in a year opportunity like this to buy good stuff for less price. For example, upgrade your workstation, buy a new phone, and etc. Especially when it comes to computers and gadgets as the deals are really good (well, most of the time).

So, if your phone is now getting old, stack your bitcoins and wait for next year, you'll get a better phone for less money so you can invest the rest.

I have supported used my Bitcoin several times and experienced the event where I regret buying in Bitcoin instead of using the actual conversion of BTC itself. If you did it a couple of times, you would understand the importance of keeping BTC when it's an uptrend and selling when there's a downtrend. Whether you know it or not, that's how volatile the market is right now.

It's not wrong to participate in Black Friday sales or Cyber Monday sales; you must buy what you really need or possibly want that would be useful for you in the long run. Anyone could support bitcoin as long as you use it once in a while or trade using it.

End up didn't buy anything because I didn't find any too-good-to-be missed deal this year. Thinking about buying another hardware wallet but I think twice and decide that I don't need it.

A good message from your friend. It's true that we need to use our Bitcoin to encourage merchant. We often ask merchants to accept Bitcoin but then after they accepting it nobody uses it lol.

I don't understand why a lot of people are thinking this way.

Let's say you get a deal paying with bitcoin and instead of the normal price of 75$, you pay the equivalent of 60$ inBTC.
Since you would anyhow have spent the fiat, what is stopping you to convert either 75$ or 60$ in BTC and deposit it back to your wallet.
You end with the same amount of bitcoin (or more), you get your product and you encourage merchants to offer bitcoin as a payment method.
As simple as it gets!

Because it's too much hassle? There are also a lot of fee to convert fiat to BTC and sending it back to your wallet.

Campaign Management?"Hhampuz" is the Man

nothing that i spend instead i bought altcoin for another added in my folio and besides i rather use fiat than spending my bitcoin in 65% discount as when bullrun happens it is more worth than that discount.

Quote from: Whittiesense on November 29, 2019, 07:17:10 PM

Nice!!! 😄 65% discount. Fortunately, I did not buy anything with my bitcoin because i had other plans for it which would yield me some good profits

same as what i did mate.

it was a bad idea, because you might buy something for say 0.006453 ($50) today and a month after that the value of those coins might double or triple and you would regret paying for those goods and services with bitcoins.

even if you think that way, as an investor only, there is still an excellent way of justifying such purchases. think about it as cashing out some of your profit. as an investor if you have invested say $1000 in bitcoin at the bottom ($1000=BTC0.29) after the rise you have to cash out something to be able to say you have made profit. so instead of selling it to get the fiat out and then using the fiat to buy something, why not buy directly with bitcoin? specially if there is a big discount like in Black Friday. so from your BTC0.29 that is currently worth $2200 you could spend $50 or BTC0.0065 and consider that "taking profit out".

I haven't buy any. I want to save my bitcoin now. Its really tempting to buy on Black Friday but I think its best to save it now. I'm not used about Black Friday sales anyway. Its just part of marketing strategy. However, its also an opportunity for christmas gifts buying. Well, budgeting is the key. I think I have no budget yet for Christmas gifts..lol.

for me instead of buying unnecessary, i would keep my money for emergency things, that are we don't expect to happen since, this year is really
not good , after investing so much , when bitcoin is 13k$ we now see ourselves under 8k$ so really bad , what we can do more is to accumulate bitcoin
suring this down time, and spend money wisely unlike other who spend money on things that are not needed

Let's not be so glum, I think one of the biggest issues when it comes to bitcoin mentality is one of regret. Oh, I can't believe I spent BTC there for something so useless, blah, blah. It's a bad mindset to have, and as someone who loves new tech, I've given up on it and just tried to enjoy life

This time, I used the purse.io addon/app for amazon's black friday deal and bought a bunch of the new black friday specials, with most of them being SSDs, headphones, and a monitor + some small purchases!

Every time a black Friday event comes, I always use this opportunity to buy the items I want, because this is an opportunity
that rarely happens so I think I should use it. I usually buy computer hardware when black Friday. I personally do not mind
later bitcoin will go up or down after I buy items when black Friday ends. If bitcoin prices go down after black Friday ends it is
my luck, and if the bitcoin price goes up I won't be too sorry because I didn't spend all the bitcoin I have. At least I can enjoy
profits too if bitcoin goes up, so I think it depends on the way of thinking. According to me it's up to each person to use their
bitcoin shopping when black Friday or just hold back yourself do not shop in the hope that bitcoin will rise. Everyone's choices
are not right or wrong.

I bought some hardware for my own computer.
Last year did the same and it was very easy to use and moving from payment into process acceptance.

Making these payments will surely help out bitcoin community and bring more investors to the table.
Since payments will become a worth thing looking for on the future.

How do you even find merchants that accept Bitcoin and sell exactly what you need and offer competitive prices all at the same time? I buy most of my stuff either via my local online marketplaces or from big retailers. I never saw either of them accepting Bitcoin, so unfortunately I didn't spend my coins on this Black Friday. Supporting Bitcoin merchants sounds great, but I guess I'm just too seek them, but if places where I shop accepted BTC, I'd definitely spend some.

For me im not planning to buy anything on black friday with my bitcoin and im a minimalist type of guy. Spending 0.006 btc that is worth $50 today might go even higher in value so im enduring all the temptations today to buy things i want tomorrow. I treat bitcoin as an asset/investment not an commodity that is to be carelessly spent with its scarce supply with its 2million plus btc left i think it is wise to store some of it while we still can.
