Indeed. This is the first time in my life I’ve kept two units of account. It’s wild! Makes me have compassion for those that have been forced to in order to eat. In many places holding USD means stability even if for me I know my savings belong in sats not the credit union.

What I don’t grasp yet is what the failure mode is for stable sats for example.

The whole derivatives market even after trying and reading feels like a casino game I don’t really grok. But I’m a saver at heart not a gambler. If Bitcoin returns to me 4 years after putting it in the vault equivalent buying power to what I put in, that would be Baseline Success for me. Beyond that is what serves us all who want to build and not just HODL. Stewards of a better future, gambling no longer Required.
