Low time preference is about patience.

Take your time. Let her figure it out for herself, but make sure she gets some helpful hints from you from time to time.

Don't act like you know it all. Learn together.

Take a look at the average historical value of a house in your suburb and compare that investment to what would have happened in bitcoin.

Take a look at interest rates for savings accounts at your favourite bank, do some calculations moving forward and backwards.

Start her off with a small stash, and do it all together so she can understand it slowly. My wife can listen for about five minutes a day, and after that it is too much.

Get her on nostr and follow a few of the inspiring ladies we have in our company. She'll end up seeing bitcoin posts occasionally.

Gradual exposure. It will eventually sink in, and one day it will click.

Low time preference is absolutely agreed about patience. Only if you learn and wanna learn about it..

It’s difficult as she doesn’t wanna learn - she wants to live in a bubble and be a mother which is fine but I want to open her eyes.. balancing act..

She has made it clear that she will not wanna know figures and understand them - categorically 🤦🏻‍♂️

Speak to her wants and needs.

There's a conversation or two there about how bitcoin is the best way to to be autonomous and sovereign, and therefore exist in any bubble she wants.

She has to be able to justify it to her friends. That's more than reasonable.

Here is another curve ball… she doesn’t have any buddies.. very much a home body and someone whom does what she does as a career and then comes home..

The people whom we associate with maybe think our way is all weird..

Welcome to the club.

Justifying is not convincing or making excuses. It's explaining in a way you believe in.

Yeah, that’s what is needed in this case and most cases in BTC!

She has a stash bigger than most people on planet earth because she trusted me.. but to her she thinks she can never use it - I’m telling her wait..
