Bitcoin is nearly useless as a currency. Every time I've spent it on something, I've regretted it. Example: The bitcoin I used to buy that mechanical keyboard in 2014 would be worth more than a new car today...

Yet you did it more than once? Kinda like you have personal preference between having X portion of your savings S to be exchanged for goods today (life is short) and leaving S-X for the future uses (life is not that short)?

That is basically what I do... I spend a little bit every year. These days I mostly cash it out and invest it into stocks and ETFs. About 5% of my net worth is still in crypto.
