I get that you hold btc for long term investment value and that's fine. I get that you expect the value of btc to skyrocket and so do I. The problem is we need to promote and help with building the Bitcoin economy or massive growth will never happen. Businesses won't keep accepting bitcoins if no one uses them. You're a Bitcoin investor, not a user of bitcoins. There's nothing saying you can't do both. If you make purchases for anything make sure to use btc to do it. Your investment quantity of coins won't diminish if you spend the fiat you were going to use for your purchase to replace the btc you used.
