Don't feel too bad. I bet every single BTC holder has at one time spent BTC for a foolish thing like mining gear.

Just spent some on couple of S3's other than that holding at most.

i think there should be a choice for both.
as i am always spending most of my btc as soon as i get them and only hodl very little.

See my signature, as long as you spend 10% of your holding per year, the daily coin supply will continuously shrink thus guarantee a constant price appreciation year over year even if the adoption rate does not increase

I spent some on a new Trezor, and I think I am going to buy another Trezor (as a backup) in case this one breaks.   I replaced the BTC that I spent with more BTC. 

So I guess I am only spending on what can help me hold more...

holding and accumulating!

Why would you not spend/sell them the last time bitcoin got to the 1k/1.2k level last fall? I personally think the best thing to do with your coins is to spend them when you can, especially when you can get a discount for using bitcoin, then purchase the retail/non-discount amount of bitcoin via an exchange. Over time the amount of total bitcoin you have will grow and you will reward companies for accepting bitcoin.

I think he is trying to say when the panic sellers join in the Sell frenzy then it drives the bitcoin price further down as the momentum rises.

vs

People who hold, which are reducing the number of bitcoins in accumulation which you may ONLY and I mean ONLY see benefits in VERY long term IF bitcoins succeeds full mainstream. But I believe that ONLY holding at the beginning when this is trying to take off is not good for the eco system

Im holding. How am I supossed to spend when I don't even own 0.5 yet :S
Once I have legit worth-holding-long-term stack I will start spending. Spending BTC and using it as a currency is basic if we want this to work, so if you have a lot of BTC, spend it.
