Did you even read my initial post? This has nothing to do with “fiat gains”.
You know what else makes you give up custody of your wealth? Selling bitcoin to pay the mortgage and buy food.
I live in reality. I do what works based on the information I have and I am not afraid to pivot when new data comes in.
Bitcoin is not an idol I worship. It’s just a tool that has specific use cases.
Also those “fiat gains” can be turned to “bitcoin gains” within 24hrs
