Exactly my thoughts.

I think the opposite. If that guy (and noone else) had ever spent a single bitcoin, its value would still be in the cents range. Currency needs to be used to have value.

How about, spend a little, keep a lot. By spending you are increasing the utility (and hence value) of the portion you hold).

There is much to be said for holding although it can backfire as well.

Thank you so much for the follow up post!

Have a great vaca and cheers to your Steem funded purchases
I bid you a fun, safe and relaxing vaca with the bird!

Yeah seriously!! That has to really hurt that guy... But who would have known how much that would be worth today.
