People quote the pizza story as "10,000 BTC for two pizzas", but that is not the trade that happened. At the rate that day those coins came to about 41 dollars: two pizzas bought at market value, with neither side holding a view on the next decade. Regret only appears when the coins are priced in today's money and the pizzas in theirs. Your friend's framing skips the other half as well: the same regret logic would condemn every euro he ever spent on junk. Sats spent on what you actually need are the one case with nothing to regret.
