Big thanks to our friends in El Salvador for creating BitcoinTravel, a service that allows us in Serbia to buy plane tickets anywhere in the world using Bitcoin. This makes Bitcoin spending practical and real – not just holding.
Many people think spending Bitcoin is irrational, but it’s not. The real question is not whether to spend Bitcoin, but how to spend it wisely. Holding Bitcoin is smart, but so is using it when it makes sense. By spending Bitcoin thoughtfully, we support the ecosystem, keep services alive, and strengthen the community. Spending Bitcoin doesn’t prevent growth – it encourages adoption, builds tools, and ensures that when fiat fails, Bitcoin is usable everywhere. Every transaction contributes to the network and helps businesses that accept Bitcoin thrive.
If you want to see a real example, I just bought a plane ticket with Bitcoin, budgeting carefully and keeping the experience educational. Spending Bitcoin is part of living on the Bitcoin standard – it’s about practicality, freedom, and supporting the network.
