My favorite opinion is the one that doesn't matter to me at all.

I just can't, for the life of me understand their position. Just spend the Bitcoin, and instantly buy some more with the fiat you were going to use anyway. What am I missing? Is it the 1%-2% slippage?

Buying and storing is using plus its easier to do taxes.

It reveals that they think of Bitcoin just as one of the potential investments out there. They don't get that Money isn't an investment.

The network does not ask for their permission to validate your transactions. HODL or spend? You decide, not them.

I’m not one of those people! I say don’t sell ALL of your Bitcoin. If you buy it on something that you absolutely NEED, why the heck not? I will never feel bad about buying shelter or knowledge.

And I can't understand that. They compare bitcoin to gold and think they will only use it to store value. They will take loan and spend fiat. That may work in the short term, but if we all do it that way, then fiat wins. The ultimate goal is for fiat to disappear, so we need to use Bitcoin constantl...

if only there were an escrow account that collected 1% of 1% of each transaction and allocated an even annual split back to all its members!

This is a scarcity mindset, which shouldn't be conflated with Bitcoin's scarcity. I know I produce more than I consume, so spending Bitcoin isn't a concern for me. I have savings and it increases over time, whether I spend or not. I figure the bulk of these people are leveraged to the hilt, have a s...

It's just a matter of being in a bitcoin standard or not 🤷‍♂️ who for need still has Fiat obviously spends Fiat and keeps ₿. Who is lucky enough to be in a standard ₿ obvious who spends ₿ 👌😉
