I try to hold, also trading for more coins I like and for more Bitcoin is my overall goal. I also spend on a potential investment opportunity I find on the forums any way to flip my coins for more with low risk is nice.
I really think that spending Bitcoin gives merchants more incentive to accept Bitcoin. I think the potential lower price is very much worth the acceptance of Bitcoin. It bothers me that people are complaining about the adoption of Bitcoin and see the short term value of the coin go down. We need to be able to see the big picture and to me that is mass adoption.
If anything see it as a buying opportunity for strong hands. The holders and people that understand how to use Bitcoin and realize what it win the end game!
