Well, I point this out, because at the bottom of a lot of AnCap arguments, is this belief that once we hand people tools like bitcoin, they're going to realize the wisdom of low time preference living, and have a spiritual awakening about the importance of self-reliance and responsibly.

I think that's about the most hilariously wrong read of the malleability of human behavioral incentives, I see around these parts.

I think you’re straw-manning a bit there. Really what people are getting at is the changing of time preference broadly distributed across society. Both of our grandfathers likely bought craftsman tools that were meant to last a lifetime and we both likely buy cheap crap that we don’t care for or take care of.

I don't sound money vs fiat argument is very implicated in the "cheap crap" problem, if that's what you're saying.

I can explain it to you in detail but probably not in this form factor. If you ever want to do a nostr nest on the subject though it would be interesting.
