i used BTC as currency and investment in my daily routine in life.That is the good things about Bitcoins very flexible. We can use it as mode of payment online shopping and transfer money and etc.
These days I use bitcoin as a mode of payment for buying goods online as I am renovating my home.
Same as with you.
I'm not really using it for investments and only using it as a currency but I can't spend it directly so I had to convert them to cash to spend them. However I got nothing to spend it on right now so I'm just holding it in temporarily but if I ever I get interested in anything, I may cash it out anytime.
