The Cubicle Sentence Reality Check

Ok so basically literally everyone on crypto twitter acts like losing five thousand dollars on a stupid trade doesn't matter because it's just fake numbers on a screen right? Like bro you're literally just staring at a spreadsheet and acting like it's a video game. But tbh it's actual money. Like, real life money that you had to sit in a cubicle for. That's what fiat mining is. It's when you have a normal job and you just mine fiat currency all day by staring at your boss's stupid emails and drinking bad coffee.

So ngl I made this fiat mining calculator because I was tired of my friends acting like they didn't just lose two entire months of their life when they bought the top of some random dog coin. Like bro, do you even know how taxes work? If you make twenty bucks an hour, you're not actually making twenty bucks. You're making like fifteen after taxes if you're lucky. So when you lose five hundred dollars on options expiring in literally zero days, you didn't just lose five hundred dollars. You lost like thirty three hours of your actual life. You basically just volunteered at Wendy's for an entire week for literally zero dollars. It is so cringe tbh.

And like, the worst part is the opportunity cost, which we have another calculator for, but literally just the time you spent wage slaving is gone forever. You can't get those hours back. You literally worked for free because you thought some CEO was gonna tweet about your stock. So I built this to force you to look at how many hours of your life you just deleted. It's called a cubicle sentence because you literally sentenced yourself to more time in the cubicle.

How the math works tbh

The math is super simple but it still hurts. We take your hourly wage, take out the taxes because the government always takes their cut, and then divide your massive trading loss by your actual net pay.
