Is anyone actually spending Bitcoin? Given the ludicrous growth, it seems prudent to just leave it in the bank.

Prudent and Bitcoin are two words that don't belong in the same sentence. You never know when and if you're in a bubble until its too late, but the ludicrous growth isn't a good sign of stability.
Either way, the "correct" way to spend BTC/ETH doesn't seem to be via a series of transactions made via a VISA, does it? Why would go not go directly via an exchange?

How does selling at an exchange, eating a 1.5% fee, waiting 4-5 business days for your ACH transfer to clear, then using that money in the bank to send a payment to pay a normal credit card bill get you want you want faster, easier and cheaper?
With this, you can escape large parts of the banking system and control more of your own money in a more granular way if you choose to.

Only until you have 5x or so gains
1x is 100%, I believe they were telling a very witty joke.
I get it, and it's a good one..
But really, if you are at all worried about losing all your money in crypto, then you should only invest a little, and.. sell 50% once you 2x.. or sell 20% once you 5x... depending on how worried/patient you are.
or any combination you're comfortable with so that losing "1x" will not put you worse than you started.
Can't afford a whole bitcoin? Buy a half, or a quarter, or an eigth and apply the same strategy..
Yeah, of course it could go to zero before you gain, but really, it's not looking like it. There has not been a better investment opportunity in our lifetime as what we're seeing now.
I think it's crazy that so many people who know about it are still hesitant to put even a modest amount in for fun.
