I put myself in the camp of those not really willing to use Bitcoin to purchase goods and services, and I agree with nostr:npub1m0sxqk5uwvtjhtt4yw3j0v3k6402fd35aq8832gp8kmer78atvkq9vgcru that this is a problem. He recently wrote:

I believe that the "spend-replace" practice needs to be a no-brainer.

I used this approach a couple of times for fairly large purchaes I made. However, it meant that each time I had to complete the BTC payment with my wallet, then move the fiat equivalent of the bitcoin I spent to an exchange, then use that money to purchase BTC at a rate different from the one applied for the initial BTC payment to the merchant, then move the new BTC out of the exchange and back to my wallet.

Of course, this is very annoying and not sensible for small purchases. In those cases, it makes more sense to replace multiple BTC spendings with a single BTC purchase. However, doing this manually and on a regular basis, is going to be complex and time-consuming.

A more convenient solution would be to have your wallet automatically manage the "spend-replace" process in collaboration with services like nostr:npub1sqzr42dj8vx32yd5jcvvl3ytux45kl0etgf6y2ymjvmd7lqmuwmqk9vk7v, nostr:npub1yadzn065lkghcg7puhp2kn96tp79fzysq4j0vku9kntaa9j2cr2s3n98zt, nostr:npub19mf4jm44umnup4he4cdqrjk3us966qhdnc3zrlpjx93y4x95e3uq9qkfu2, etc.

I could simply receive an alert saying:

"Threshold reached! It's time to replace your Bitcoins!

Transfer xxx EUR/USD to Relai/Bittr/Well/... bank account to purchase approx. YYY BTC that will be received right in this wallet.".

I would immediately switch to a wallet offering this feature!

I’m still amazed by all different topics that we’re covered, but I loved nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s and nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk talking about #nostr , that was a reminder that we gotta be grateful for all of this! looking forward to what the future will bring!
