Here's something almost no one understands about #bitcoin.

In a fiat world the young are encouraged to take risks, be bold, swing for the fences, fight for their beliefs.

This is invariably disastrous advice due to their lack of experience, developing brains, lack of resources, underdeveloped temperaments and critical thinking.

In a #bitcoin world the young hold the greatest asset - time. The most prudent thing a young person can do is settle, master a craft, save in bitcoin, have a family and enjoy the process of the world collapsing into their store of value.

In a fiat world older people are scared of losing their wealth as they have no capacity to chase down inflation other than through asset inflation - their earning years are over. They have wisdom but the fear of material loss is overpowering leading them to inertia.

In a Bitcoin world older people are not fearful of losing purchasing power, have security, buying power and a lifetime of experience to give them wisdom on where and when to take risk. They also have finite time to exert their influence on the global adoption of Bitcoin hence they move outward on the risk curve.

In this new paradigm the imperative and yearn to take risks shifts from the young to the older generations aligning with the natural acquisition of wisdom over time.

It becomes much harder to manipulate the young into wars. It becomes much easier for the older generations to combine wisdom with risk. All this trends society towards peace and a wiser approach to capital allocation.

Hmmm. I probably need to flesh these ideas out a little better or find the person who already said this before me in a more articulate manner πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

I think understand what you are saying.

It’s a great train of thought! If we stop the water from boiling we stop the panicking and people can enjoy each other and their lives
