Corollary: You will be able to estimate the amount of sats you must earn in order to retire & leave a certain standard of living to your children. This calculation is difficult on a USD standard because you must invest wealth rather than save it.

Defense:

Until fiat, human energy consumption per capita increased about 2% per year: the Henry Adams Curve. On a Bitcoin standard, this growth will resume.

On a Bitcoin standard, the amount of sats mined per block will decrease according to the supply schedule. The schedule decreases 1/2 each 4 yrs.

Therefore, the rate of new sats minted will decrease faster than the rate of energy consumption per capita will increase.

So for a given balance of sats, there is a safe withdrawal rate.

Not exactly right, but: imagine withdrawing half of a balance of sats this halving, then half the remaining balance next halving, and so on forever, Laura, forever.
