$BTC $BTC If I had 10,000 BTC today – should I spend it?
If I had 10,000 BTC today (yes, ten thousand!), the first thing I would do is... lock the wallet and throw the key into the sea. Just kidding, but actually – to spend or not to spend is a question more painful than choosing pizza or hamburger.
Spend?
A slice of pizza costs 2 BTC? I'd rather starve!
Maybe I would buy a little – a cup of coffee via Lightning Network to feel the "power of spending like an OG Bitcoin holder."
Not spend?
The market goes up and down like a roller coaster, who can be sure that 10,000 BTC today won't become... 50,000 BTC next year?
Let that BTC work: staking, farming, or simply lying there for me to admire every day like a treasure of my life.
But what will I actually do?
Maybe I split it into 3 parts:
HODL long-term like a crypto samurai
Use a little to experiment with spending in the real world – coffee, plane tickets, etc.
Support a few decent blockchain projects, because if we don't spread real applications, Bitcoin will forever just be a number in the wallet.
And finally, if I had 10,000 BTC… I would definitely not tell anyone, but I would start ordering pizza – this time not using BTC, just to remind myself: 200 million dollar pizza is real!
