That’s why you stack sats mostly during bear markets and sell during bull markets.

Humanity has always operated like that under a sound money standard because it only makes sense to spend when you have the money and save when you don’t. Under fiat, it’s all spend and no save, because your money constantly leaks value. That’s why the business cycles are so messed up, especially since 2000, but even before that.
