I've never regret spending BTC in all the years. If you live on BTC you literally have to spend it so there is no regrets at all. Though, I bought a PC in 2015 in BTC and when I looked at the box in 2018 I was like... most expensive shitty and aged rig in the world 😂

Computers and cars are not good investments. 😁
Depends.
As a dev, a higher quality computer can make you more productive with increased compile times, etc.
I agree on the cars. I make my living mostly online so my hardware are my trade tools but yes, value loss is immense.
Fun fact, I stopped following the GPU arms race two years ago at least for gaming. Joined GeforceNow's cloud gaming very early and had a founders plan for 5/month for almost a year and a half. That's $90 in 18 months which makes it hard justifying spending $500-1200 every 2-3 years just to be able to play new gen games when they come out. Unless you're GPU miner I don't see the point any more in buying expensive GPU's at least not every couple of years.
My Android is also 4 years old. It's just a phone why would I buy a new one every year while this one is still working fine?
