Why? Using the paper money to store the harder money for when its needed in the future? 

I don't see anything wrong with that.

I've spent sats to buy a few btc related things but the vast majority is stored for long term savings.

Isn't that really the best use case for now? 

 Without the P2P transfer then what good is Bitcoin to hodl? I think first principle is building an uncensorable value transfer system 

 I agree and I think as lightning and ecash solutions evolve more users will actively participate. 

I just mostly want to hold onto most of it and see where this unstoppable train is headed.
