Your portfolio is up 8%. In what?
The dollar lost about a fifth of its purchasing power in five years. That is the unit you measure with. The yardstick shrinks while you congratulate yourself on the inches.
Bitcoin's pitch is not "buy this and get rich." It is "use this as the yardstick and find out what you actually own."
A fixed-supply unit of account is a different category of asset than the one your statement is denominated in.
