I agree with everything you said there. I also wrote an article using Titanic as a metaphor. Personally, I put as much of my time and energy in the new system as possible. My whole life revolves around Bitcoin in most ways, which is great.

However I think telling people not to measure bitcoin in dollars is ignoring the current reality we are living in.

For example, if Bitcoin consistently lost fiat value year over year nobody would want to own it. It would have minor advantages over dollars (self custody/ censorship resistance ect), but I think NGU is fundamentally essential to bitcoin's success.

Claiming otherwise ignores economic reality. Maybe that's not Jeff's point or yours, but that's what I'm hearing when I hear someone way to stop measuring bitcoin in dollars.
