For me, spending bitcoin is more about the decision it makes me face:
> Am I willing to ignore tax law in my jurisdiction? <
If not, I then have to treat my every Bitcoin transaction as a taxable event, requiring me to know and document the cost basis for every sat, and self-reporting this on a complex and obscure tax form that is likely to raise red-flags and the attention of the tax authorities who demand and enforce capial gains regulation.
