When you hold your own keys, you can fuck it up. Fucking it up starts to feel a little heavier when the price goes up. Does it make you nervous knowing that you are responsible for your wealth?
Why you should feel "a little heavier when the price goes up" since you hold your own keys? If one is wise enough to secure very well the keys, why should one be worried or nervous about this?
P.S. These are friendly questions. Just asking myself aloud here! 😊😊

Fair point. If I had been lucky enough to mine bitcoin in 2010, I could see spending 10k bitcoin on pizza and thinking nothing of it. Same for keeping several thousand on a thumb drive. But when more people use it and the network itself becomes more valuable, it starts to mean a little more. You think more seriously about what you are doing with it. I'm curious when that point happens for different people.
