There are a limited set of conditions under which you should treat bitcoin as real. Like when you want to self-costody and secure it.

But, under no circumstances, should you look at your bitcoin as real when you are working a bullshit job; when you have 3 managers trying to convert their responsibility into your time; when you know that clearly identifying the problems is a one-way ticket to getting pilloried in an endless Hell of meetings designed to keep you quiet in the future.

When you are in Fiat World, it's best to see your bitcoin as fake. Not even worth selling. Not an escape from. The. Ceaseless. Soul-depleting. Stupidity of it all.

DONT FUCKING TOUCH IT RICH. DONT DO IT.
