I’ve been working on an idea for a platform — basically an Amazon-style marketplace where you can buy anything using crypto. Not just NFTs, but actual everyday products.

While building it, I ran into a fundamental question:

💬 Are people even interested in spending their crypto?

Most of us say we believe in the future of decentralized money. But when it comes down to it, we treat Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other tokens like long-term investments — not as actual currencies for day-to-day spending.

So I wanted to ask the community directly:

👉 Do you personally see crypto more as:

A long-term store of value (something to hold)?

A real alternative currency (something to use)?

And if you don’t spend your crypto — what would it take to make you start?

I'm not here to shill a project. Genuinely just curious — this question has shaped how I approach the product I'm building.

Believe it or not many people want to spend their Bitcoin online too, and this shouldn't stop them from holding Bitcoin for the long term as well, I spend part of my Bitcoin as money and I hold the remaining.

It would have been cool to check out your platform but I guess you have your reason why you don't want to drop link to the platform, I am a long term BTC holder and I have also use BTC to make some purchases online too so don't let this be reason why you should halt what you are working on..

Don't forget about other coins too, BTC is more of gold than others and I believe that people feels like spending other coins as means of payment more than using Bitcoin.
