Knowing a thing and being told a thing are different and most people can’t tell which. Reformed Christian, Nostr class of 23, I think

Proverbs 13:22 says a good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children. Try that on a currency that loses 86% of its purchasing power in one working lifetime. You cannot. Inheritance on fiat is a cruel joke. The math does not support generational stewardship. The math barely supports a down payment.
On sound money, the math works again. The Proverbs work again. The household works again. Stack Sats for your children, children.

If high time preference produces addiction, then low time preference produces sobriety. If debased money produces a present biased culture, then sound money produces a future oriented one.
Bitcoin is not a promise to fix you. It is the removal of the thing that was breaking you.
What does a worker who cannot save do? He borrows. What does a worker who borrows do? He loses control of his time. What does a man who loses control of his time do? He loses control of his future.
What happens to a man who loses control of his future?
He gets anxious. He gets depressed.
He gets medicated.
Stack accordingly. Your mental health depends on it.
Your Anxiety Has a Monetary Policy
The mental health crisis is a money crisis. Debased money built a debased people. Fix the money, fix the time preference, fix the household, fix the culture. In that order.

Money is not a neutral technology. Money is stored time. Stored labor. Stored life. When the unit of account rots under your feet, your time rots with it. Your planning horizon shrinks. Your capacity to delay gratification shrinks. Your trust in institutions shrinks. Your marriage, your kids, your church, your work, your body, your sleep, your prayer life, every single one of them runs on a time horizon. And the length of that horizon is downstream of the money.
You cannot meditate your way out of a monetary system that punishes patience.

Gm Nostr!
Fun fact:
The government that’s killed the most journalists in the past decade isn’t Russia, China, or Iran.
It’s the one we fund, arm, and allow to run our govt.
200 + dead reporters since October 2023. Two thirds of 2025’s record 129 from the same hand.
America’s greatest ally. Paid in full.
Think about that!
