That's simply not gonna work as new members (who are usually creating those kind of merit fishing topics) don't usually check already existing threads before creating new ones. Another factor is that youre thread will eventually drop from page 1, meaning people will most likley not find it.

My advice to you is not to waste your time and just lock it.

Merry Christmas guys 🎇

I have been investing in bitcoins for a long time and I even had thousands of dollars worth of bitcoins invested but I spent a lot of it. First of all I spent all the wedding expenses and friends party celebration during my wedding. Secondly I spent my invested bitcoins to help my family business and fulfill my dreams.

I've seen people with bitcoin investments that theyre holding onto long-term, but then some little thing happens and they crack and withdraw what they've saved up.  To me, that's not good - investment is investment and should be treated as such and  don't chip away at what youve set aside just 'cause life throws you a curveball.  I know things happen sometimes that make you desperate for cash but cashing out too early can cost you down the line.  It's a balancing act for sure.  But the whole point is to leave it alone and let it grow over time.  Easier said than done when money's tight, I realize.  Still, folks oughta try having some discipline and stick to the long view.  Just my two satoshis.

Except that it actually is much of a bad idea.

Bitcoin is pseudoanonymous for a reason, while the public can access the blockchain which contains a record of every already complete transaction, they cannot fix a personality to the different transactions to know who is spending what. To further blur that trail users can utilize coinjoining and mixing options. It is counter productive to publicly discuss what you are spending on with Bitcoin.

That's what I'm thinking too, if I recall, there's a public ledger that's recording my purchases so I don't think I'm going to flaunt what I'm spending when that can make someone pinpoint me in that ledger and with the degree of privacy I've already given up being on that public ledger, I think that I deserve to keep that inability for someone to pinpoint me exactly and who I'm dealing with. Only problem with all of this is that I haven't had a lot of transactions lately so it's hard for me to still share.

Always have been spending some of my holdings not because of the festive season but I do spend them on when needed so it doesn't show any difference whether we are in festive season or not, the key important aspect of it is that do not spend all your holdings maybe as an investor or trader there are some certain amount that should be carved out for spending and holding, whenever that method is applied then you wouldn't over spend you holdings.

As trader or investor there is always a need for cushion and or a reserved fund maybe even spare cash to serve you for awhile even at this point of festive season we don't have to alter much of our holdings if we still have the reserved funds because i see no reason for selling our accumulated bitcoin so cheap at expense of festive season some people got them through DCA.

Actually, this is a nice idea to share your experience with others on how you spent your bitcoins, but it is also a chance for others to spam, because many will bring different stories, some of which might be true, and from hearing some, you will know that there are friction stories, and when other newbies or members see them, they will think or even believe the story, for instance. I said that for the past year that I have been in bitcoin investment, I have achieved a lot to the extent that I have already bought a house, a luxurious car, and I got married. With the profit I got from my bitcoin investment, we know it can be possible, but it is just a friction story because it hasn’t happened to me yet. Since I see other people writing some nice stories, I might create mine. This is just an example I gave, not my story on how I spent my bitcoin. I will use this medium to encourage you to stop such low-quality posts for just the purpose of fun or discussion. It might discourage others.

I was contemplating on this too, but thank goodness it isn’t just me. I also think that your Bitcoin spending should be private (or maybe I just love privacy?). Even if we are all anonymous on this platform, people (not just me) have a sense of privacy that they don’t want to attach anything like a worth-tag to their name. It isn’t bad if anyone wants to share it (as long as they do it anonymously). Everyone is different after all and my opinion may differ from that of others.

Alternatively, stories like Bitcoin spendings can be shared in my topic too.

I see three topics recently.
