So, essentially no human being on Earth is capable to do anything after purchasing bitcoin, but to watch a number. Obviously, watching a number is not as aesthetically pleasing as watching a picture of a beautiful girl or a sunset.
The problem with you is that you do not want to buy bitcoins and therefore find a way to satisfy your mind with lame excuses. After buying bitcoin, you can watch that your wealth will grow as the bitcoin price increases over time. Buying any other commodity or assets will not benefit you as much as bitcoin.
Better you go and watch your girlfriend and stop wasting your time on this forum.
