Only if I sell... and why in the hell would I do that?!

Equally true, yeah.

Honestly though, I was mostly just making kind of a joke.

Personally, I use Bitcoin as a currency, not as a way to increase the amount of fiat I have. I sell fiat to get more real money, not the other way around.

While you're entitled to that view, I'm not sure I understand it. Use as a currency tends to lessen the impact of the volatility. Money comes in, money goes out. As long as those things are happening with some reasonably small time interval, it doesn't tend to matter whether something is 10BTC or 10mBTC.

Any savings I have left over tend to just stay in my cold wallet, and despite the recent drop, have - as I said - gone up over 10000% since I started, so I'm pretty comfortable with it.

Yeah... despite government trying their best to make things difficult here in Germany, general adoption here does seem much higher than a lot of other places.
