My first BTC only bought a PS3, now it can buy a Mercedes

That's pretty volatile no?

Sounds like it's working as intended lol. Money is becoming more valuable. It's just been shit for so long it's becoming valuable at a breakneck pace.

Yes, it's very volatile and that much money that quickly can maybe impact mental health in a negative way

That's a trade off I'm willing to accept to fix our broken money. Even if I wasn't willing to accept it, I wouldn't be able to stop it

You are witnessing hyperinflation. But instead of sitting on the sinking boat like most of your everyday friends and colleagues you are witnessing it from the coastline.

Nothing changed for you. You probably still hold the same amount of BTC and XMR.

And yes. Hyperinflation is probably not healthy. But it's one method of overcoming cognitive dissonance that plagues human society for quite some time and is not healthy either. Sometimes the cure is the illness and sometimes the illness is the cure.

Maybe we know nothing about how life unfolds in front of our (inner) eyes. What is mental health even in times of collective insanity?

Exactly. If you stop thinking about BTC in terms of the price of fiat and start thinking about how much purchasing power of your BTC it becomes a lot less mentally taxing. You need to stop thinking that the BTC I spent is worth so much more now and think instead I can now live a much better life because the BTC I do hold actually buy a lot more now. Instead of having the worry of thinking about how I'm going be able to afford the ever increasing costs of goods in my fiat denominated money, you have the worry of determining how little you need to spend now so you can keep more and buy more later.

Bitcoin is deflationary money. It's exactly the expected outcome.
