It's not all about expecting profit. It's also normal to expect profit and hold for a long time, but spending some of it when the need arises is not a bad thing. Having a mindset of holding for a long time is good, but let's not forget that bitcoin is money, and since we can't live life without spending money, we should be able to spend our bitcoins, too.
In some things like a BTC gambling, to profit is still possible if we are lucky actually. It doesn't make sense to hold and hold continuously till eternity, so yeah that it is a must to spend our BTC too if that need arises or sell even on any market conditions.
I think there are still people that are way too stingy that won't spend even just a dime of their savings. They can rather rely onto someone else for their resources but some can also find alternatives like plant or grow their own food. It is only funny that when they got sick, their savings will still be touch and most especially, we can't bring our money by the time we leave this world.
