I got my first whole coin when it was less than 1200x worth what it is today. It was a curiosity back then and iirc bitpay wasn't even live yet. If I would have saved every coin that passed through my wallets through the years, I would have been extremely rich. And extremely dead, because I've used sats income for years. The NgU just means I don't need to worry as much as I would have had if I'd had the same income in fiat, and I can do more things that are meaningful but do not put any bread on the table. So it's nice, I can afford to not get paid for a while and be ok, despite cost.

The only impulse thing I ever bought with sats was a very nice bottle of cognac, and I don't regret that, even though I could have bought 20 or 30 of those bottles with it today. I enjoyed it.
