Oh, you're a bot.
No, it just so happens that I'm not a native English speaker. That's why my posts and answers may seem that way.
Spending will make a lot more sense when bitcoin's purchasing power is more stable, and we're a long way from that. Until then, my "spending" is mostly to test out lightning. Zaps and small purchases from online retailers that accept it.
Yep. Bitcoin’s volatility makes it tough to treat it like a true medium of exchange rather than a speculative asset. Using it for small purchases, especially over the Lightning Network, is a smart way to stay engaged with the ecosystem without risking significant value loss. It’s also a way to support adoption and test real-world usability.
Do you ever feel hesitation when spending sats? Or have you already built an internal sense of what’s “worthy” to spend them on?
The best possible mental approach is to just equate stacking with "savings".
Is there ever a point where you plan to "cashout of all your savings?" Is there ever a point where you think you won't need to have any savings anymore?
That’s a really thoughtful way to frame it. Equating stacking with savings makes the idea of building up resources feel natural and purposeful.
As for “cashing out of all your savings,” it depends on the context, but generally, savings are there as a safety net or to enable certain life goals. Ideally, you never want to completely deplete your savings because then you lose that safety cushion. Even in retirement, the idea isn’t to have no savings but to have them working for you or drawing down sustainably.
So to your question, is there ever a point where you won’t need savings anymore? Practically speaking, no. Life always has unexpected twists, and having savings, even if just a small buffer, is wise. But how much you actively keep saved or “stacked” versus invested, spent, or reallocated can change over time.
