Want to bypass those rising on-chain fees? As the name suggests, Lightning is a protocol that allows you to send #bitcoin payments 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 fast and very cheaply (often free). Many new users are getting into Bitcoin via the Lightning Network, so no matter what the on-chain fees are, they’re able to stack sats regardless!

𝟵: I am thankful for the incentives that help people 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

Everyone has time preference, which is 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. Some people have 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩 time preference, and show it by “eating the seed corn” and slowly destroying their lives just to have some fleeting pleasure right now.

But others have 𝘭𝘰𝘸 time preference, and show it by making small sacrifices today for better rewards tomorrow. These have always been the builders of civilization, and their choices tend to have a net benefit for themselves and those around them.

Bitcoin is 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘦, and remains scarce despite rising demand, so its value will continue to go up over time. This incentivizes bitcoiners to save their hard-earned money, and gradually trains them to think more long-term, first in their financial decisions, and then — because money touches everything — in 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 part of their lives.

𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 as bitcoiners choose to live more healthily, raise more children, learn new skills, seek deeper truths, and generally work harder to improve society.

What are some ways that 𝘺𝘰𝘶 have seen the benefits of lower time preference?

𝟭𝟲: I am thankful for 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻-𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 that encourage self-custody.

Satoshi created a new kind of money that doesn’t need to be custodied by anyone but yourself. He also created just 𝘰𝘯𝘦, for the purpose of securing our sovereignty. He knew that money is a zero-sum game, and that attempting to use multiple forms of money at once is a great way for the fiat parasites to divide and conquer us.

But what do most people do when they discover Satoshi’s creation? They create 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 of fragile copies, gamble on them, convince themselves that one of them is “the next Bitcoin”, and leave them 𝘢𝘯𝘥 their #bitcoin on exchanges for them to custody.

There are some exchanges that 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 deal with Bitcoin, make it easy for you to self-custody, and repeatedly emphasize that you should, but unfortunately there are still far too few of them! A couple of these include nostr:npub1tftc33ttam85wraffce62cgtvvjrmttquqlv6a0agtfm5nl4vues82xar5 and @relai_app, but what are 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 favorites?

Though they probably should be called “signing devices”, these hold your private key and use it to sign transactions for you. The best ones, such as nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl and ColdCard, allow you to create a private key offline, and keep it from 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 touching the internet, eliminating any chance of it ever being compromised that way.

Because nothing speeds up the adoption of a thing like making it illegal!

Every time a government bans #Bitcoin, the ban not only fails, but it also freely advertises Bitcoin to those who aren’t familiar with it yet. Even after China banned it over and over again, Bitcoin is still being used and mined there.

FUD — or 𝗙ear, 𝗨ncertainty, and 𝗗oubt — raises awareness of #Bitcoin, thereby speeding up its adoption, while simultaneously helping bitcoiners strengthen their arguments. And when FUD has been even a 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 true, that has been a signal to bitcoiners to work on improving that particular aspect of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin's ability to help us lower our time preference is what kept me interested in it. It's still changing me, and I've seen it change many people, even giving them an *eternal* perspective, and leading them to learn of God directly from the Source.
