"this guy buys UBID, which promptly loses more than 1/3 of its value after he bought it, says that his loss is only a "paper loss","

This is why they are referred to as 'unrealized' losses. It's because those who have them don't realize it's a real loss. Hey, believe it or not there are still some IRID longs who expect to make a profit.
