I prefer to sell them rather then spending them, and I don't have many choices to spend it so I convert it to my local currency and then spend.
I hold it for a long term but in the end I will sell it. I think the same thing as you, we don't have many choices to spend bitcoin as it is instead of exchange it into fiat money and spend, but it's just a same thing right? Whether you hold bitcoin for sell or spend as bitcoin, depend on option offered.
Its same for most of us here all,we cannot spend our bitcoins is most places,infact in no places offline.So i also rather sell them and use them in fiat to buy things in real life.
