I view this as a personal contribution to the broader acceptance and utilization of Bitcoin. On the other hand, it means that it will disrupt my plan of holding 100%. How do I find a balance between supporting this business that just started accepting Bitcoin and adhering to my investment strategy of long-term hodling?
Like you said, its your way to foster acceptance by patronage through the use of Bitcoin. It aint a prerequisite and as such, you could always choose between that which gives you the most comfort.
Dont fuel your desire or want to do by disrupting your need to do.
As far as payment media goes, its often about that which gives you much convince. You cant go about patronizing just any and every Bitcoin accepting business out there. You would as well get to liquidate your entire hodling in the name of patronage to foster adoption.
Adoption will come when it will and it has been creeping to the stage still. While your little efforts might help, dont allow it to make you lose out on hodling in the process. The balance between hodling and spending Bitcoin for a currency should be when the need applies. Thats your best move in these days where Bitcoin still serves for an asset and a little for a currency.
