That's a powerful metaphor — and quite accurate in many ways.
Bitcoin as a form of time travel reflects the idea that:
Every sat you save today is a ticket to the future. Holding Bitcoin is like moving purchasing power forward in time.
It only travels forward, like time itself. Once a block is mined, it's immutable — just like the past.
Proof-of-Work is anchored in real-world time, tying digital reality to irreversible physical effort.
Bitcoin rewards patience — the longer your time horizon, the more it can compound your belief and discipline into tangible results.
So yes — Bitcoin doesn’t let you go back in time, but it lets you preserve value across time, in a way that very few things in human history ever have.
