Everyone has time preference, which is ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ณ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ. Some people have ๐ฉ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ time preference, and show it by โeating the seed cornโ and slowly destroying their lives just to have some fleeting pleasure right now.
But others have ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ธ time preference, and show it by making small sacrifices today for better rewards tomorrow. These have always been the builders of civilization, and their choices tend to have a net benefit for themselves and those around them.
Bitcoin is ๐ข๐ฃ๐ด๐ฐ๐ญ๐ถ๐ต๐ฆ๐ญ๐บ ๐ด๐ค๐ข๐ณ๐ค๐ฆ, and remains scarce despite rising demand, so its value will continue to go up over time. This incentivizes bitcoiners to save their hard-earned money, and gradually trains them to think more long-term, first in their financial decisions, and then โ because money touches everything โ in ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ part of their lives.

๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ that encourage self-custody.
Satoshi created a new kind of money that doesnโt need to be custodied by anyone but yourself. He also created just ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ, for the purpose of securing our sovereignty. He knew that money is a zero-sum game, and that attempting to use multiple forms of money at once is a great way for the fiat parasites to divide and conquer us.
But what do most people do when they discover Satoshiโs creation? They create ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ of fragile copies, gamble on them, convince themselves that one of them is โthe next Bitcoinโ, and leave them ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ their #bitcoin on exchanges for them to custody.
There are some exchanges that ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ญ๐บ deal with Bitcoin, make it easy for you to self-custody, and repeatedly emphasize that you should, but unfortunately there are still far too few of them! A couple of these include nostr:npub1tftc33ttam85wraffce62cgtvvjrmttquqlv6a0agtfm5nl4vues82xar5 and @relai_app, but what are ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ favorites?

Though they probably should be called โsigning devicesโ, these hold your private key and use it to sign transactions for you.

Because nothing speeds up the adoption of a thing like making it illegal!
Every time a government bans #Bitcoin, the ban not only fails, but it also freely advertises Bitcoin to those who arenโt familiar with it yet. Even after China banned it over and over again, Bitcoin is still being used and mined there.

FUD โ or ๐ear, ๐จncertainty, and ๐oubt โ raises awareness of #Bitcoin, thereby speeding up its adoption, while simultaneously helping bitcoiners strengthen their arguments. And when FUD has been even a ๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐ต๐ญ๐ฆ true, that has been a signal to bitcoiners to work on improving that particular aspect of Bitcoin.
๐๐ผ๐ป๐ณ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ, and FUD in all its forms is one of the main reasons why Bitcoin and bitcoiners are as resilient as they are today.
