    Mostly I exchange crypto to fiat currency and spend it on physical goods. In crypto I make donations to FLOSS projects and pay for digital services like VPN-providers.

      In addition, I often make bad trade decision between different cryptos, sometimes my choice of cryptocurrency is not based on possible profit but on technological ethical preferences and curiosity. It can be considered as spends too. In other words I spend crypto on crypto. Someone says it’s useless application of cryptocurrencies but I’m interested in a whole crypto and blockchain ecosystem. It’s a driver of many tech innovations even they is not very useful right now.

        I have started to use OpenBazaar. You can get a 5 pack of socks for $4. Also computer cables. Every purchase has been successful.
