What are your thoughts about this? Personally, I usually try to buy with stablecoins if I have some, it just feels more natural for me. I don't want to touch my BTC while the market is still bad.
I think Bitcoin is more like a store of value now than a payment system, because fees and time of transactions can't help it to be a fast payment system now, if we ignore government regulations. Indeed, when Bitcoin was invented, there weren't a lot of altcoins that have different advantages which make them a better payment system than Bitcoin. Now, we have altcoins with near to zero transaction fees, and others with very fast transactions that happen in seconds. Personally, I don't prefer spending Bitcoin buying goods or services, except in the case in which the service provider or the seller doesn't offer the option of paying with other crypto currency, so I would be forced to pay with Bitcoin. However, most services offer more than one crypto currency now, and Litecoin is a notable option in this case, as well as USDT on TRON network has low fees.
