Well the point of me is, to convert money to Bitcoin and then spend it at a shop that accepts bitcoins. I don't say you should spend bitcoins that you want to keep, I say you should spend money that you spend anyways not in fiat but in crypto to support the adoption.
I wouldn't mind spending my Bitcoin on a couple of my needs if i do get the chance (and i mean 'where) to do so, it is really difficult to do that where i come from, you could of course pay for some goods and services over the internet (online), but a real life payment in a shop/store is difficult to do at the moment. Generally, doing so would depend a whole lot on where the user resides, and how popular shops that accept Bitcoin are in that area.

Of course more Bitcoin users would want to hodl and speculate with their coins in many years to come, but it is of course great to likewise use Bitcoin as a currency when you do have the chance to do so, not that it matters too much how one uses it, cause anyway actually helps with mainstream adoption; whether it is buying to hold or buying to spend, the thing remains that Bitcoin is being bought (meaning there is constant demand).

There's nothing bad about being after making a profit, no one like making a loss but people needs to understand that Bitcoin was not created by Satoshi just to be only an asset.
According to what I read, it was created to make people "financial freedom" and we google that "it means having the financial cushion (savings, investments, and cash) to afford a certain lifestyle"
Automatically Bitcoin should be used as savings, investments, and cash.

Yep, it wasnt intended for money or profit making but rather on that "financial freedom" thing but it cant really be avoided
that people would be minding on how to make money thats why people wont really be tending to make use nor waste it on something
but instead they do save it out because it does have potential in upcoming future although its not assured but chances
is high.
Since Bitcoin was categorized as an asset some people will focus on making a profit through it but using it as the payment method is not a habit of wasting on something because if Bitcoin is not used as a payment method then it failed to achieve the concept and believe of Satoshi.
