I get all that, it’s a fun philosophical widget to ponder over. But out here in the real world it has value to me because I can sell it for more than I paid. I’ve taken profits and converted it into real goods for myself. I am aware it could go to zero and I’ve hedged my risk appropriately.

Genuinely, best of luck! It sounds like you've managed your risk appropriately, and of course, I want everyone to make a ton of money :)
