Opportunity cost of not holding the maximum amount of sats possible is worse than selling a few now and then when you need to.

I keep like a thousand paper cuck bucks for the few things I need to buy at swap meets, WinCo, etc, but I don't own those either since they have a backdoor called inflation.

My wife still gets paid in fiat. We don't own that either.

I put my whole paycheck in bitcoin. Some of it is in Strike and I understand what you mean, but it just makes life easier in a world where many places force you to use credit cards. I'm not happy about the erosion of anonymous cash utility, but this is the world we live in.

Paying in fiat does not fix this, but I keep as little fiat as possible as my personal protest. This is not an investment for me. It's sweet revenge for the bailouts.

I never made a lot of fiat. If it weren't for bitcoin, I would be fucked up shit's creek. For me, there really is no alternative.
