problem is i dont find a good usecase to use for short term.
not belittling monero but at least i can still use LN for zaps

Do you zap with a non custodial lightning wallet? Is it private?
If you don't care about that stuff, then yes, you don't need Monero.
Otherwise, check out these links if interested. Particularly the Spend link:

Saving Bitcoin is one thing. Spending is another. You seem like you are doing the saving part well.
Using custodial and non-private wallets to spend is not my thing, and runs counter to the bitcoin ethos imo, but it is your money to use however you wish.
