Bitcoin is experiential. You learn it by using it. I crafted this video from my article "Bitcoin is Experiential."

GM. ☕️ A positive side effect of the Core/Knots drama is it seems to be getting more people to run nodes. Everything is good for Bitcoin?

New Article: Low Time Preference, Building for the Future bit.ly/41i3UKd

A key theme of my book Future Proof is low time preference. Low time preference can feel confusing at first. It’s not intuitive, but once you get it, it changes how you see money, health, and even time itself. Here’s how I explain it 🧵 High time preference = short term focus Low time preference = long term focus Eat the donut now? That’s high time preference. Go for a run instead? That’s low time preference. Simple. But powerful. Here’s the catch: choosing low time preference usually feels worse in the moment. Running sucks when you start. Saving feels boring. Choosing to buy sats instead of a latte feels small… but over time those choices compound into freedom. Low time preference in money = saving, investing, stacking sats Low time preference in health = sleep, nutrition, training Low time preference in relationships = showing up consistently It’s the same mindset, applied everywhere. But here’s the paradox: deliberately delaying gratification and consistently investing in your health actually gives you MORE time. Every early bedtime, every workout, every intentional choice compounds over years. Each one helps you reclaim time that would otherwise be lost to fatigue, inflammation, or illness. You’re not just delaying decline. You’re actively creating order from chaos and expanding the time you get to live with strength, freedom, and energy. Bitcoin is what taught me this lesson. HODLing reshaped my relationship with time. Consistency, patience, and discipline create lasting value, not quick hits. It gave me my time back. I have the freedom to step off the hamster wheel and do something I want, something I am passionate about. I can build for the future, not just survive the day. Here’s how I apply it daily: 👉 When I want to snack, I pause: “Am I hungry or just bored?” 👉 When I want to skip a workout, I ask: “Will future Erin thank me?” 👉 When I stack sats, I remind myself: “I’m buying freedom, not stuff.” Low time preference doesn’t mean cutting out fun or spontaneity. Some moments are worth it. But my baseline choices now have intention. They’re built to create vitality and freedom instead of eroding them. Bitcoin rewards those who delay gratification. So does your body. Stack sats. Stack habits. Play the long game. Thanks for reading. If you want more, my book Future Proof: The Intersection of Bitcoin and Longevity expands on all of this.

Future Proof is now in Barnes & Noble Santa Rosa, CA. My grandma would be proud. We spent countless hours together browsing B&N shelves. Our favorite place. ❤️ #bookstr

3 local bookstores now carrying Future Proof (and two carrying Intro to Bitcoin). In all 3 stores, these are their only Bitcoin books. 💪📚

Gm. The Bitcoin black hole will suck in everyone and everything. 🌀 There’s no escape.

Really seeing my strength increase with climbing. More than any other form of workout. 2 months ago I wouldn’t have been able to climb this. 🧗‍♀️

I’ve watched it happen dozens of times at my Bitcoin meetup: Someone downloads a Lightning wallet. I send them a few sats. Their eyes light up. In that moment, Bitcoin stops being an idea and becomes real. Here’s why experience is the only way to truly understand Bitcoin: http://bit.ly/4oqxneR

Quick update: I've moved my Substack to my new website, which is now my official digital home. I'll post new articles here, migrate older favorites (like Hot Tub Mine Machine), and occasionally share nerdy deep dives into Bitcoin, longevity hacks, and AI explorations. I'll also sprinkle in some behind-the-scenes from my filmmaking and adventure photography work. Subscribe for free to stay in the loop. I promise to try to keep it interesting. 👉 erinemalone.com

Future Proof is live! Get it while it’s hot! amzn.to/40uIl8Q Part memoir, part blueprint, this book sits at the intersection of Bitcoin, longevity, and AI to help you reclaim your most valuable assets: your time, health, and wealth. Resilience, adaptability, and curiosity are key themes explored throughout this book, alongside entropy, proof of work, low time preference, and self-custody. I self-published, so every share, like, zap, and review means a lot. Thanks for your support! Watch the trailer below 👇

Remember to touch grass today.

I brought my book to life. This is the official trailer for my new book, FUTURE PROOF: The Intersection of Bitcoin and Longevity. The book and my brand new website are launching at the end of this month. I created it using a hybrid of: · My own footage from my travels · AI-generated video clips · My still images, brought to life with AI · Pro-level editing in After Effects & Premiere Pro (I do this for a living) Creation is now unlimited. Watch the full trailer.

I have a new book coming out next month. This is a rough mock-up of the cover designed using my own images. Would love some feedback.
