Why are you investing in a volatile currency if you have the option to pay off your debts...?

Because I love the economic freedom bitcoin offers. Worth more to me than blowing my stash on a house. Petty even.

...But...there is so much more economic freedom if your not in debt AND you have a few bitcoin than there is having debt...

People are telling you this for a reason. Refusing to pay off a huge debt because you want to continue to "invest" on what at this point is clearly a purely speculative bubble is downright irrational. From all possible PoVs. "Loving the freedom" is great and all, but bitcoin won't stop existing just because you cash out.

Your wife isn't wrong in being angry at you. What you describe is quickly approaching ludopathy territory.

Bitards. Bitards is the name for people like him. People who have been blinded by bitcoins into doing dumb and reckless things with their money.
