Re: Bitcoin & Lightning - Would you pay for coffee instantly if it was possible?
I spend a fair bit of BTC. I tend to use it to buy items that'll improve my life. That way I won't be sad if the price ever reaches squillions of dollars as I got plenty of good use from whatever I bought.
nice thought, but it'll still hurt lol. i try not to think too much about all the stupid stuff i spent my bitcoins on back in 2014-15. if i'd only known i was spending my coins at the bottom! that's why i never spend coins deep into a downtrend anymore.
it's still a painful subject.
This appears to be what a lot of bitcoin holders think. In this kind of situation, would you be comfortable spending it if the amount of BTC you spent is replenished by an immediate BTC purchase, such that your net holdings remains the same?
How can one incentivize a new, average person to begin using BTC if the only reason that people buy it is with the hope that the fiat value will go up?
