Giving someone bitcoin in exchange for fiat is like taking away their filthy rags and setting a crown upon their head.

And every time you introduce someone to bitcoin, you get another star in your own crown (another person's UTXO linked to your private key). Some people have crowns with few stars, others are heavy with stars (heavy with weight units of on-chain transactions).

But if you haven't spent any bitcoin, you might as well not exist, and everyone else can count your coins as lost.
