there are only a few stores who are accepting it as payment.
nah, I don't think so. there're enough stores who are accepting btc, eth or their own cryptocurrencies as a payment. openbazaar, modultrade, bitify and so on. there's nothing new in buying things using crypto actually, so if you want to spend something it won't be a problem.
It's very easy to spend what you have with just a few times and it is very true for now many markets have been able to buy goods using Bitcoin.
