 Your Life > Butcoin

I agree with you if you have a good fiat mining job so you can have great quality time moments with your family/friends with your salary.

But if not, I totally can understand someone who sells Bitcoin at a certain price. So he can have these moments in life with a certain amount of his bitcoin.

Sure, selling Bitcoin to invest in other stuff or to buy consumables other than food is not worth it. 
 Interesting. I don’t think about it that way. I have those moments you describe for free, every week. And I also don’t need material wealth. I would rather forgo any potentially gained benefits (not even sure what they would be since it’s all free anyway), than sell. Not even sure what you’d sell for … a scam currency? A home? A vacation? 

To me, bitcoin is a game. And there’s no fun in beating it. Just enjoy the gameplay. 
 Nothing in this world is for free.

I don't know your situation and I don't want to assume things that are not true.

It is a too big topic to discuss in form of writing, I think.

What I would sell Bitcoin for?

A scam currency for sure not. 

A home? Depends. Does you current living situation harm your health and could a home improve this? If yes and I never could buy it with my fiat job money, why not? There are million other consideration one could make here.

Vacation? Maybe. No simple beach vacation but to show my parents and kids some places around the world I visited and had a great impact in my live, definitely yes. If we could not afford this with our fiat job.

To make it clear, I don't sell it for material things per se. But to improve life quality, health, safety.

Could you explain what do you mean that Bitcoin is a game for you?
Because for me, in this clown world everything got a game because of money printing.

Bitcoin for me is pure reality. In this reality I can save my energy in form of purchasing power to use it for whatever I think is worth trading my saved energy for. 
 I’d need to write an essay to explain because it ties into my identity I guess. Too lengthy to get into here. Not worth so much self talk. 

Fair enough. 🤝
