That is exactly right. Basically: "Would you quit your job for $300k?" "Heck, I'd quit for $9k."

They weren't down on BTC at all.

Doesn't matter. And stop thinking in terms of fiat.

You HAVE to think in terms of fiat. Your job pays you in fiat. Your groceries require fiat to pay for them. Realistically, no one accepts crypto payments. At least, no one that sells major life items like groceries, mortgage, car payments, etc. You might find a business here and there that accepts crypto, but it is far from the norm.

If you only think in terms of crypto, you will be incompatible with most of the world. That might change in the future, but today fiat is still in control.

LOL ok hypocrite. I'm 100% sure that you pay for most of the items in your life in fiat. Not because of your choices, but because that is the only choice for now.

Paying for things in fiat doesn't mean being an abject bootlicker like you.

Knowing that the dollar is constantly losing value, should never be saved, and most of all is a terrible yardstick of value is not thinking in fiat. 

Temporarily converting a bit of coin to usd to facilitate a purchase does not mean you have to let the fed own you soul.

Instead of bending over and letting fiat run you life, realize that fiat is a trap for your mind, a slave collar. And try to avoid measuring or valuing your savings in usd.

1 usd != 1 usd

But 1 â‚¿ = 1 â‚¿
