I like this framing a lot. I think it ties into the biological tendency to feel the loss of something more keenly than a similar sized gain. We have an asymmetric emotional valence wrt losses vs gains.
It's easier to rationalize missing out on an investment gain (especially if it seems risky or volatile) as opposed to taking a hit to one's net worth (everything priced in Bitcoin).
