If you’re gambling regularly while also investing, it’s probably smarter to use stablecoins for gambling. That way, when the bull run hits, you won’t be regretting all the Bitcoin you lost. I’ve personally lost a decent amount of Bitcoin, so yeah, it hurts a bit. Even if you set aside Bitcoin specifically for investment and gambling, it’s still Bitcoin, and its value could hit $100k soon.

Can you guys relate?

It doesn't really matter what form of payment you use when buying something.

What really matters is in what form of money you save.

So, if you save in fiat, that will be devalued over time, but if you save in Bitcoin it will be worth more in the future.

It doesn't matter if you pay in fiat, stablecoin, or Bitcoin, as the price at the time of the transaction will be the same for every form of currency you have.

As we can see, bitcoin’s fees are significantly higher compared to other currencies, which is why the OP pointed out that it feels like a wrong move. If you think about it, saving even a small difference in sats by using other currencies can add up over time, especially during a bull market. It makes a big difference, especially if you value your money. But if you are a wealthy person, then sure, it doesn’t matter.

We should not get this twisted, if you want to invest then invest, and if you want to gamble, then gamble.

People will not raise this grievance if they are doing it with fiat currencies, I wonder why raising it when they are doing it with Bitcoin. By the time you made the transaction, your Bitcoin has a value in fiat, that is what you should stick to and let it be buried that way. This is because you've already made the transaction and it is gone. Going back to trace them on how many transactions in Bitcoin you've parted ways with simply because Bitcoin has now appreciated is like living in your past. If gambling doesn't favour you, invest in Bitcoin, after all, you will not complain about the fee by then.
