I just found out about the steam point system, I have 150K.

Is 150K a lot? And what can I do with them, I have purchased some account decorations like a banner and background, but is that it?

Buy stuff from the points shop like seasonal badges, emots, backgrounds (need to own games), chat stickers, avatars, avatar frames, showcases and upgrades, give people awards (takes Steam points), etc

Other than that they are pretty worthless, they are just a small little bonus for purchasing games (if you didn't get them for FREE when someone gives you an award for something).

Hi mate, yeah, it's pretty a lot of points. You can use them to level-up your Steam profile by buying seasonal badges in Steam Points Shop, or to give awards to some content you like {profiles, comments on forum, reviews, artworks, etc}. Or let's say to buy emoticons/stickers for chat in Steam Points Shop {from the games you have in your Library, and if this game actually has some emoticons in Steam Points Shop }.

What the point in level-upping your Steam profile level or in decorations of your profile - that's more a philosophical question, i suppose... :) Some people like that or even find it addictive, some others think that Steam is for playing games and some profile cosmetics and/or the profile level are pointless thingies :)

BTW, I wanted to chime simply to let you know that you're not alone I've been "here" for a number of years and have only just recently made any attempt towards learning more/better understanding this very same topic. Hang in there!
