I think it was
@HODL who argued that bitcoiners and grandmothers basically give the same advice:
-Save money, go for walks, plant a garden, eat real food, don't trust the banks, focus on your community, get some sun, etc.
I think that comparison is under-marketed. We need some memes about it or something.

my pre-boomer grandma is exactly that. doesn't trust anyone. knows how bad shit can get
Like this? π
ππ» All that plus my Grandma used to say:
- tv is lying
- go to church
- don't do onto others what you wouldn't like done to you
- you haven't been really hungry in your life (after I refused to eat something and claimed "I'm hungry")
Yes, we need more memes. Your insght is always pleasant to my neurons.
Yep. With that in mind is how we build alephcitadel.com
This is the community we foster in the #Meshtadel

View quoted note βBecause we are also aware of what it "could" be
This is sound advice. My grandfather once told me that his father told him if you save your pennies, the dollars will take care of themselves. This essentially the 1920s or 1930s version of "stack sats".
View quoted note βI was close with my great grandmother. I was at her side back in the early nineties when she died, she was 92. She would go for several mile walks every day, plant gardens, make homemade meals, have weekly card games with friends, sat on the front porch in the sun, and she always stacked sats.
Remember, grandmas were young and sexy once. You know thay hairdew they have? That used to be hot.

Grandmothers also told girls to find decent husbands and have plenty of kids, and boys to dress and act like gentlemen and to treat people with respect.
View quoted note βI love this.
My grandmother always said that, too. To this day, I still roll coins LOL. It IS the modern version of βstack Satsβ.
Taleb makes that point in his writing too, e.g. _Skin in the Game_. Long-standing morals, time-tested advice etc.
(Not that he's esp loved by Bitcoiners these days.)

Grandmas lived long time and know things that stand the test of time. They know it is ridiculous to have a short term mind.
Bitcoiners have low time preference and it looks like bitcoin will live a long time. It is about "time preference".
"Virtue" might be just a definition of having low time preference and low space preference. Thinking about the future of humanity is being virtuous. Just like wishing well for others.
It all comes down to whether we think short term or long term.
I was just thinking the other day:
Bitcoin is becoming part of political platforms. We are now a political target demographic.
Grey power has always been the leaden anchor that holds a lot of political progressivism back.
Maybe we now have a reason and a common interest and status as political footballs to be a big fat heavy one.
Orange pill the 50+ brigade and watch how fast saving comes back into fashion.
it's a desperately-needed bit of historical perspective. most people in the developed world just really have no idea how bad things can get.
Found this one online
Great thing is that with bitcoin the saving advice is now again valid.
My grandma's been hip since the 60s for real. Lol. She's always brought her own bags to the grocery store, always had a garden and always encouraged outdoor time.
and get some sun βοΈ while you are at it
I'll never be able to unsee this now.
I know where 2 find them for dayzzzz. Last one cuz dont wanna bug. Felt relevant.
It all sort of goes back to what Adam Meister said: "Personal responsibility is the new counter culture"
New NOSTR channel- βOnlyNansβ where you can see grandmothers teaching us to cook, garden, preserve food, fix things, practice sound economics, give life advice, stack sats, etc and zap the hell out of it.
Orange Grandma will be the best grandma.
On a dark note, mine killed herself when my own mother was 13 years old. I guess that is where the parallel to Bitcoiners ends. Would have liked to hear her advice...
Heck yeah, let's make this real
This is one of the most interesting ideas I have seen on NOSTR. Could social media be used to promote "saving" and basically give people good economic advice? I think all the Bitcoiners on NOSTR could be the beginnings of such a community focused on helping people take control of their financial future by both "saving" and not spending their precious money. #grownostr #homeeconomics #saving

What Taleb wrote before Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome is still great advice.

Not mine. Was saved a few months back or maybe further... time flies.
