Have you even helped anyone with bitcoin?

And why did you transfer Bitcoin to him instead of transferring fiat? In my case almost nobody in my environment knows that I have Bitcoin and if I have to help someone, for example by making donations, I do it using fiat, not Bitcoin.

That story OP wrote might seem far fetched, or even a merit-fishing tactic (and maybe it is)  but I did similar thing more than once, I sent BTC to people in need (orphanage and some humanitarian organizations). The only difference is that I was sending BTC and they were receiving fiat as it was done via Paycek, which is popular crypto payment processor in my country. I could have sent fiat instead, but I simply wanted to do my part when it comes to Bitcoin adoption.

It doesn't make much sense to me to spend the good currency, the one that appreciates, and keep the bad one, the one that depreciates.

I think that there is nothing wrong with using Bitcoin for what it was initially intended for. After all, use of early adopters brought us to where we are now. I don't advocate spending absolutely all your BTC  if you have loads of fiat lying around, but there is nothing wrong with spending some of your BTC every once in a while as that way we do our part (no matter how insignificant it may seem) in helping with Bitcoin adoption.

Can relate although here in my country, it is a little bit different where I use Coins PH mainly as an app to send BTC to other people as well. It won't hurt to use it instead of fiat if it brings that much convenience for you. When it was the first few days of pandemic, it is the most used app for me instead of the other traditional digital payments that were widely used in here. There were people using other apps like GCash, but it's a meh for me.

I feel like I help people by telling them about Bitcoin and the opportunities ahead. I don't give people Bitcoin but I tell them how they can earn it and profit. There's a saying that if you want to help a hungry person don't give him a fish, but a fishing rod. I'm always ready to explain bitcoin to people and help them set up their own wallets, exchange accounts and anything else. If someone comes and asks for money the answer will be no, unless they can help me with something and get paid for it.

His story could be true, but telling everyone about it is like begging for attention.

With due respect
maybe you haven't notice another comment of mine and him

It sounds more realistic to me now.

Its fair to blame and negative speech for me cause No way to verify. but does it mean, all upcoming stories are false including mine? Actually Sometimes we share our story with others So that some good works give us satisfaction. But i think its better to lock the thread. Thanks and respect to all who helped people and keep donations
