Cryptocurrency isn´t meant to be only hodled at all times. Most tokens are meant to be used as a currency, a medium of payment. Yeah we aren´t quite there yet today but that doesn´t mean that you can´t spend some of your coins e.g.on a daytrip or even a holiday.
There are so many crypto credit cards available already, which will make it so easy for you to spend your coins in any shop, hotel or restaurant that accepts card payments. It´s not the direct way and you bet that I´d love to rather be able to pay with a steem transaction directly but we simply aren´t there YET.
One important thing on the way to mass adoption though is to actually use a product. Everyone who invests into cryptocurrency might eventually want to spend some of his holdings and that´s a good thing, because it will lead to a healthy flow of fiat in and out of the cryptosphere allowing a healthy longterm growth.
That all being said, do it like I just did it today, use your coins on a daytrip. Get yourself some delicious food and pay it with your crypto credit card. Maybe you are even among the lucky ones who got some shops close that accept cryptocurrency as a payment. Unfortunately I haven´t found one yet and could only enjoy to spend my coins directly on online purchases. Whenever I should finally be able to do my first real world purchase with crypto you can be sure I´ll tell you about it 😉
