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.

If anyone’s interested, you can check out the beta version here:

I’d really appreciate any feedback — even a quick thought helps a lot as we shape the platform around what real crypto users actually want.

I personally think crypto mostly as a store of value especially during uncertain markets but I think the shift toward spending will come once we have more stability better UX and incentives. If your platform can make it seamless and offer real value compared to fiat options I think a lot of people would be open to spending their crypto more often
