Maybe high time preference tends to focus on immediate issues and fears. I noticed my own feelings about this changed with Bitcoin too, going from short term, high-time-preference fears I had with fiat, to long term planning and not really caring about what some country might go through, since I know that as long as I have hard money like Bitcoin I can plan for a stable future and be okay. And I'm saying that maybe despite thinking that gold is a hard money, the reality of it being inflated with fake stuff is reflected in the time preference of those who use it.
