 why am i scared to hold almost no fiat? 🥲 
 because you still live in a primarily fiat system, and in an emergency you would need fiat. 
 Society has conditioned us that way. Plus, life is complicated, you got bills to pay, emergency fund, etc. Don’t beat yourself up. Be smart and do your beat to save what you can in hard money. But don’t make it a dogma thing otherwise you might cause unnecessary pain for yourself. My thoughts on the matter.

 Because a lot of people live in reality. And IRL people need fiat for day today transactions. 
 i like fantasy 😔 

but for real, that’s why my balance is so low lol 
 you dont need to be scared because youre already brave enough to let go of it. I recommend a small start like only depositing for daily stuff or something🌞 
 i am holding some, very little. i hadn’t paid attention to my fiat balance, it’s just so disposable x,x 
 yeah because fiat is only for paying taxes and not for storing value. nowadays japanese yen getting cheaper and cheaper so i feel what  you mean, “disposable“ 🫠 
 Every investor has a different temperament. You have to listen to yours because it’s a survival mechanism. Fighting it usually leads to more losses than one can appreciate. 
 be true to yourself, absolutely 
 Because you need it to buy everything. It’s an essential. 
 hmm idk james 
 but yeah, for now… 
 IDK some people are big on keeping everything in bitcoin but that just means you’re constantly selling it and re-buying it. Every time you do this you’re likely losing money on fees. I would personally just have what you can afford in it and then have the rest kept as cash for everyday needs but that’s just me. 
 i definitely feel you, fees make me grind my teeth a little. i don’t like constantly switching it up 
 You need fiat bars take fiat and its warm outside 🍺 
 tetsu, what does this mean😭😭😂 
 Bars take no bitcoin, so you do need fiat currency if you like beers 
 oops i see now, i need commas to understand lol 
but its ok, as long as i have a coffee shop that takes bitcoin im good ☕️ 
 I dont do commas girl I do coffee 
 i get a comma without coffee :p 
 It’s natural to fear change because new ideas can be uncertain and disruptive. Bitcoin, for instance. Its success isn’t guaranteed. However, the spread of Bitcoin illustrates a broader cultural phenomenon: as some individuals believe in it, they influence others. Over time, a small group of believers can grow into a community, leading companies to integrate Bitcoin into their operations. Now, states are exploring its use. This cascading effect is transforming Bitcoin from a niche concept to a widely accepted standard, promising broader societal impacts such as increased freedom and peace. ✌️
