I spend a fair bit of BTC. I tend to use it to buy items that'll improve my life. That way I won't be sad if the price ever reaches squillions of dollars as I got plenty of good use from whatever I bought.
Unless I had no alternative, and I do, I wouldn't spend it on consumables like food, coffee, fuel. That stuff eventually comes out of my arse, urethra or exhaust pipe never to be seen again, though it was certainly useful at the time.
The key to spending is earning in BTC. And those who bought for a lot less have earned more buying power in a sense too. If you've got it coming in then you'll be more inclined to spend it. If you've laid out your dollars in the hope of doing well, and are yet to, and underwent all that hassle to obtain it then you'll be far less willing to spend. You'll want to hoard.
A lot of attitudes and circumstances will need to change for it to see regular use as a currency. We're nowhere near it now. We may never be.
I agree with you and also do they same. I spend some of my earnings when btc is doing well so that I know no matter how bitcoin does I rode some of the high waves and bought some nice things. Without it I would not have the things I have. I would not be able to take my family out as much and all the rest.
I use it regularly though. As I do any other currency. In fact I make more crypto transactions then banking transactions. I only ever use the bank if the people I buy from don't use crypto and even then I still ask them.
