I've been trying to think a situation in which I would have zero attention to allocate.
The only situation I can think of is being trapped in a simulation where my attention was occupied entirely by an illusion. Of course once you realise that you're in a simulation, you're no longer trapped by it, you'll eventually find a way out.
Bitcoin is full of paradoxes. I've found paradoxes are abundant as you get closer to Truth.
I needed Bitcoin to realise that I don't need Bitcoin to live a fulfilling life.
I can choose where to focus my attention but it's easily captured by fear. While I never needed Bitcoin to let go my fears, it's much easier to let go fears while holding Bitcoin.
To me, my Bitcoin represents 3 decades of paying attention to other people's problems. 30 years of being unknowingly trapped in an illusion. If I lost my Bitcoin today, I don't think I could allocate enough of my attention to rebuild it. I doubt anybody would pay me that much for my attention.
Value is subjective & relative. I will happily sacrifice some of my attention towards securing my Bitcoin.
Would I ever sacrifice all of my attention? No, but my Bitcoin is more valuable than the sum total of my undivided attention.
