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 feel very similar to you about paying online with BTC. Due to the high volatility in the Bitcoin market I try to avoid using my precious coins as much as possible. When I first started out with Bitcoins I used them for all my purchases. That was probably my biggest investing mistake, I wish I would have held all my coins and paid in Fiat or stablecoins instead. The problem with paying in Bitcoins when the price is at 10 or 20,000 USD is that you will feel bad once the price rises. The same goes for using my bitcoins for gambling, I don't really deposit money anymore with BTC. In the past I also used crypto coins to deposit money quickly at the casino, but now I prefer to stick to using Fiat money to deposit and withdraw in crypto currencies.
