I don't see TX fees this high as an advantage or a positive, BTC is a 'free' currency that should be used anyhow the owner wants it. You can hold it for the long term even if TX fees are normal, you don't need high TX fees to do that, but when TX fees are this high you hinder and restrict people who want to spend BTC like a currency that it is, and restricting people from using BTC as a currency is a very big problem. BTC is not only an investment option, and your post makes it feel as if it is only good for that.
Maybe OP is being discourage to make a transaction to spend his Bitcoin on something he needs or wants because of high transaction fee. I don't see any problem with that since it's his decision whether to spend his Bitcoin hodlings or not in any kind of situation. Maybe he is just being practical about his money, especially if his Bitcoin holding is his only funds where he use in buying foods, paying bills, paying rents, etc.
