The problem Bitcoin is facing right now is that too many people have the opposite mindset of the OP - they treat it as an investment rather than a currency in its own right. For BTC to flourish, everyone needs to go out and spend it!
If I were an early investor with a lot of BTC to spare, I'd be ordering 0.002 BTC pizzas all day every day!
What if 0.002 BTC will buy you ten pizzas a day in a few years' time? Or instead of wasting money getting fat on pizzas save it or invest it in something else?
I haven't spent any of my BTC yet and it's flourished nicely. What's great about any investment or currency is people can do what they want with it; buy, trade, sell, save, gamble etc.
i just want to save up!
