Ha ha...that is true.

No shame in selling at all.  It's your money, do whatever you want with it.  If you can purchase what you need directly with your Bitcoin, I think that's the best way.  But if you can't, you can't.

The best thing about spending Bitcoin is that (at this stage) you're generally spending to someone that is trying to hodl just as hard as you are. 

 And if you have to sell for cash, it's less painful to sell your KYC stuff to an anon for a premium.

At least you know they're going to value their KYC free sats.  

 Hodl Hodl? 

 Nah - I know plenty of plebs that are still stacking & I don't need that much to live pretty well.

Trust me, it's much easier to sell Bitcoin peer to peer than it is to buy.
