Because I want a $5 beer today, and one next week as well. Why buy bitcoin until you die and never have beer? Are you even living at that point?

So then why feel bad about trading some BTC for it? The regret would be for not buying back.

Who's doing that? People can choose to hold whatever assets they want in whatever proportions they think are best (assuming they are not shut out of the fiat banking system, and live in a stable developed country).
