Why do some people save while others spend everything? Why do some go into debt for an iPhone, while others invest in an intangible, hard-to-understand asset? The answer isn’t about morality. It’s about a key concept: time preference. Time preference refers to your ability to delay immediate gratification for a greater future reward. High time preference = "I want it all, now." Low time preference = "I’m willing to wait for better." It’s a quiet but powerful compass. It shapes your financial decisions, but also your health, relationships, and worldview. The fiat society of infinite money encourages instant gratification. When money loses value year after year, When saving is discouraged, When debt is easy, normalized, subsidized… …the system rewards impatience. You’re pushed to consume now, live on credit, and forget tomorrow. Result: a short-termist society, stressed, with no real capital. In other words, the opposite of capitalism, which is now confused with consumerism. Building for the long term, capitalizing, requires something else. Saving, investing, constructing means giving up the present for a stronger future. And for that, you need two things: ✅ A currency that rewards time ✅ A vision beyond next week Healthy personal finance starts with a healthy time preference. Saving for later is declaring that your future deserves more than your present. Investing in solid assets is understanding that time is your greatest leverage. Refusing to chase every new thing is choosing substance over distraction. Bitcoin isn’t just a technological asset. It’s a tool for temporal realignment. It rewards patience, values saving, and restores scarcity. It’s a currency designed for those who think far ahead. Your wealth doesn’t just depend on your income. It depends on your relationship with time. What matters isn’t what you want now, but what you’re willing to give up today to become who you want to be tomorrow. #Bitcoin

I always throw my trash on the ground. Why, you ask? Because there are many unemployed people who cost society a lot. By simply throwing my used McDonald's bag on the ground instead of using a bin, it creates jobs for street cleaners. Less unemployment! Then, they’ll use the money they earn to buy consumer goods, which will create more jobs, increase the level of public services through taxes, and put money in the pockets of shareholders and bosses. The capital thus created will enable the development of new products, taxes will fund research, and with capital and research, we can finance the ecological transition and rockets to reach Saturn’s rings. (That’s Keynesian economics)

“One day, Bitcoin will be replaced by a version 2.0—faster, more modern.” That’s a common idea, and one that seems logical if we apply the usual patterns of technological innovation. But it completely misses the very nature of Bitcoin and the radically different vision it represents. Explanation: Most people who, like me, have been interested in it for a long time and have invested part of their wealth in it, are not looking for a “better” Bitcoin. We don’t want a faster Bitcoin. Nor a Bitcoin that can handle more transactions per second. Nor a Bitcoin with extra features like smart contracts. What we value is precisely its immobility. And this “we” refers to all those who are truly invested in Bitcoin—financially as well as philosophically. Some do dream of a faster network suited for daily payments, but they hold only a marginal stake, making their opinion barely audible. Bitcoin is what people want it to be. And above all, it is a resilient network, whose stability and resistance to change are its core value. It’s often said: “There is no second-best Bitcoin.” And that’s true. Bitcoin serves a unique purpose: 👉 A digital asset resistant to censorship, 👉 With limited and predictable monetary issuance, 👉 That no one can shut down by pressing a button. Bitcoin is the freedom to own. And to preserve that freedom, Bitcoin must remain what it is: a decentralized, immutable, and extremely resilient system. That doesn’t mean it will never evolve. In the face of existential threats—quantum computing, for instance—some adjustments could happen. Bitcoin is not entirely static. But it evolves very slowly, by consensus, and only in ways compatible with its core values. As long as this cultural stability remains, Bitcoin will not change. And that’s what makes it a century-long project, still relevant in 100 years. By contrast, other cryptos—Ethereum, Solana, Cardano…—are, whether they like it or not, caught in a race for innovation, performance, and use cases. They’re competing to become the foundation of future digital infrastructure. It’s an exciting tech race, but it’s also a game of elimination: in 10 years, natural selection will have done its work. We can talk about an Ethereum 3.0. But imagining a Bitcoin 2.0 simply makes no sense. Bitcoin was born in a unique context of widespread indifference and decentralized growth. That alignment can never be replicated. And that’s what makes Bitcoin a truly irreplaceable asset. So if you’ve been waiting for a “new” Bitcoin to finally take it seriously— Don’t wait any longer. It’s already here. #Bitcoin

Together dawgz strong

Someone told me they wanted to start buying Bitcoin every week, but they were concerned about buying above 100,000 as they believe it is too expensive. At 20,000$ , I was told it was too expensive. When it crashed back to 3300$, I was told it was a scam. When it went to 60,000$, I was told it was unsustainable due to emergency monetary policy by the Fed. When it crashed to 16,000$, I was told it was a scam again. The truth is, Bitcoin is not a risk, it is a matter of understanding. I never once looked at Bitcoin and thought to myself “oh wow, that’s expensive, I should try something else.” I was introduced to it and said “wow, this solves everything”. Some understand concepts quicker than others. To me, Bitcoin was instantly understood. If you’re constantly questioning the price of it, then with all due respect, it means you don’t understand enough about it. Seek to understand, and no price will be considered too high.

Yesterday, 80,000 #BTC (worth roughly $8 billion) were moved on-chain. These coins date back to 2011, before the BIP39 standard existed. Back then, private keys were managed individually per address, with no hardware wallet support (even today). This suggests the keys were stored in a wallet.dat file, and the transaction was likely signed using a software wallet like Electrum. From a security standpoint, this is absolutely insane!

How much #Bitcoin do you need to save today to be able to fully fund your child’s education in 18 years?

Save/buy #Bitcoin daily (NOT the ETF). Move to cold storage every few grand. HODL 10+ years. NEVER miss a day. In the meantime, learn real skills so you can increase your daily buys. Live within your means. Your life will change in 5 years, and be completely beyond your imagination in 10 - dream big!

Ross Ulbricht is not a saint. He enabled crime. He ran a marketplace where real people got hurt. That matters. It always will. But let’s be honest—he also built the first use-case that forced Bitcoin into the real world. He showed the world that code could outmaneuver control. And for that, they didn’t give him a sentence. They gave him a silence. Two life sentences. For code. While bankers launder billions and walk free? The 300 BTC donation isn’t celebrating crime. It’s mourning proportion. It’s a whisper from the network: “We saw what you did. We also see what they’ve done.” Justice must be real. But justice must also be measured. For those caught in the middle: - “What does it say when a drug site founder gets life, but bankers get bailouts?” - “Why the 300 BTC isn’t about approval - it’s about proportion” - “What the network remembers… and what the courts erased” - “The line between punishment and message - is this justice, or warning?” Wrote this with a clenched jaw and conflicted heart. That’s how I know it’s TRUE. #Bitcoin

#AskNostr I've decided to create my own Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Just like the U.S. government and Peter Schiff, I'm developing a budget-neutral strategy for acquiring my bitcoin at no incremental cost. Phase one of my strategy is inviting contributions to my reserve. lnbc2100n1pnucf7app5hvjtum9a0j9h70y5xvatlhwfwgay708lag2av9978ws035kzu25shp5tl4mmqc8aumkc5gj4j8y304l8s8rm75033q6v22yx8cu69z3w02scqzzsxqyz5vqsp5uq38puffv25sz369yvd93unrpx5n9563h64l2qrurcd87sj0yj9s9qxpqysgqplk6w7fplw3lpdg38y7mp3ggjvl38z9euamkpumnqjv306gufh2xujum0w9xh2g92agsk2hrnn7s34qatg0tfycy2lu3pw7h2h2w8usp56sx4h

The best thing about USG acquiring a strategic bitcoin reserve is that it will now learn the concept of opportunity cost. Dollars have an opportunity cost of ~0 since USG can print them on demand, so everyone in USG has for decades learned to never worry about costs, and never have to make trade-offs. That's why USG spends trillions of dollars every year on horrific things. But there are only 21 million bitcoin, nobody can make more, and everything you spend comes at the cost of more bitcoin. Once you start calculating the opportunity cost in terms of bitcoin forgone, and the appreciation of the market value of these bitcoin, the vast majority of USG spending begins to look really stupid. Most bitcoiners can tell you many stories about how finding bitcoin has helped them eliminate all kind of frivolous and wasteful spending. Now apply that to USG, and you could conservatively estimate that 90% of its spending would not pass the bitcoin opportunity cost test. Everything will be weighed against bitcoin and almost all of it will be found wanting. Most bitcoiners imagined that bitcoin would destroy the value of the dollar and bankrupt USG. But if bitcoin merely teaches USG to spend responsibly, that on its own could go a very long way toward eliminating most of its evils. Truly, #Bitcoin fixes everything.

#Bitcoin at $1,000 was too expensive, so I didn’t buy. Bitcoin at $10,000 was too expensive, so I didn’t buy. Bitcoin at $100,000 is too expensive, so I won’t buy. This is the philosophy of those who never get on the train.
