so now your only argument is that we should all be active stock market traders to accumulate more sats?
please stop trying to throw curveballs. you have no point to get to.

This just sounds like a religion or morality argument. Look the fact is that somebody who sold their bitcoin bought Ethereum and then sold back for bitcoin has way way way more bitcoin than you now.
okay. yup. you're going with "everyone should start trading"
cool story.
Don't pretend like if you could go back in time 10 years with $1,000 you'd buy Bitcoin and not Ethereum (butterfly effect disabled). Of course you'd buy Ethereum, and then you'd jump back forward in time and sell it for Bitcoin.
And if you had a crystal ball and knew 100% for sure that say, whatever, I dunno, titanium, was going to rise in value versus bitcoin over the next 5 years, you'd sell all your bitcoin and buy titanium.
If not then what are you thinking? That it makes you somehow moral to end up with less bitcoin but to have held it all along?
I'm thinking that you only think in impossibilities and outlandish scenarios that only work in SciFi, and I'm living in the real world saving my wealth in the strongest currency ever to exist.
you're being a fool and investing your hard-earned money all in one place based on some weird combination of ideology, friendship and magic-show hypnosis.
this isn't 2009. bitcoin's puberty is over. its teenager height now. lots of things will grow faster than bitcoin in 2026. as happened in 2025. (heck even the S&P 500 grew 20% faster in 2025.) keep some of your money in bitcoin but spread the rest around. trade a little. and cash out back to bitcoin when it makes sense.
humans have been trading since the beginning of time for a reason.
do you wish you had bought Palantir?
