This is one perspective. Let's discuss another one! 🧐

Point 1 Macro-politically, the world's socioeconomic structure is changing. It is moving from one form of economics into another, and as it does so, awareness of bitcoin grows. The price, relative to bitcoin's scarcity, reflects their levels of that awareness and valuation. More of them are willing to trade in exchange for your bitcoin, and that reflects your buying power.

Point 2 That's all well and good 😌, but the point of this meme (proverb?) really is that it's regressive. The person thinking this way is still thinking and living in terms of the old standard and hasn't moved into bitcoin mentally. His bitcoin is truly static and unchanging in quantity, and it's only the human environment's recognition of what he already has, that's changing.

Both these guys exist in the current bitcoin "community" (this word is used firmly tongue-in-cheek), but the latter guy fully realizes the scarcity of his stored energy and is more inclined to work to increase it, which is a better use of his time than getting drunk thinking about how "rich" he's getting.

(This is also the "stay humble and stack sats" meme in a nutshell.)
