If you try to use bitcoin, you can use it same as that you use the regular currency. It's upon us to find the right usage and spend, because I too find it difficult to spend but recently in an article found a couple who has been traveling all around only spending bitcoin for all their needs. Then believed ones interest helps in the spending.
Definitely yes , you could spend your bitcoin depending on your choice and needs. But I suggest to make and choose a wallet that can allow you to do transaction at the same time hold your bitcoin. Because the best way to spend is to save in the sense that you have a partial savings and spending. It is also a better thing to spend bitcoin and monitor the current price of the bitcoin so you can know if you can save more in other way transaction.
