On average, people who stack sats strategically are better off than the average gambler. I agree that the numbers aren't so impressive at every point in time, but my life has gotten cheaper over time when I zoom out.
It does all seem a bit stunted given everything going on adoption wise, but that is my imagination. Maybe it's just harder to move a larger beast now?
It's at least protecting me, which is the whole point really. It's interesting seeing all the fiat perspectives and how it impacts sentiment. I saw a case for comparing to gold charts that I'm starting to agree with.
