If you are holding your bitcoins with the expectation of bitcoin will be hitting main stream adoption one day so that you will easily buy groceries for direct BTC payments and pay your gas bill with BTC, your dream will get fulfilled one day but after that you may regret for spending bitcoins for lesser value or for silly things.
I mean we are holding something technically advanced one but with old-fashioned expectations.
I agree.
I think it's better to use your bitcoin mostly for buying very valuable/useful things that "increase or create values", or things that won't lose their value in the future without creating sufficient value for you.
So, it's better to use your bitcoin for very useful things so you don't regret spending it in the future
i think what he means is that we shouldnt spend our btc because btc value can grow more in value and we can regret it someday but i also like your point that we will only spend useful things that can help us but this also works on almost any currency and payment system we have .
money is earned in hardwork so we should spend it wisely .
groceries and gas is i can say something that is valueable because we need food to live and we need gas to run the car for buying groceries or for other transporting purposes .
