The point is if I own any Bitcoins I'm not going to spend it on a Pizza which once I eat it those Bitcoins are gone forever and I can never get them back? No I'm instead going to invest my Bitcoins to either help me make more Bitcoins in the future or to protect whatever Bitcoins I already have. I would seek to increase my income in Bitcoins and decrease costs. I would seek to maximize my profits. Once I have enough income and profits that I know I'll always have some Bitcoins to play with that is when I'll start to spend.

Is that how you spend dollars already?
