I’ve wondered why Bitcoiner’s are having more kids than the average American and I think it boils down to the fact that they are simply less anxious about the future.
What will happen in the year 2050?
Normie: idk anything could happen that’s so far away
Bitcoiner: the block reward will be 4.88 million sats
Nah, idiots are having more kids, and it's more like this -
What will happen in the year 2050?
Normies: "gas will be 3 dollars a gallon"
Smart people: "idk anything could happen that's so far away"
PoW + low time preference through monetary scarcity is transformative. That’s what unites us
oh shit — nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs knows how many kids i have 😁
The deflationary nature of #Bitcoin means everything you ever need or want in the future will continually cost you less money every day for the rest to your life. That includes children. 👶🏻 🐿️
Courage. Hope. Success.
Vs
Fear. Despair. Failure.
It’s called low time preference.
When you have sound money, you can plan for the future.
bc we make decisions w/ conviction
and we aren’t afraid of commitment.
We are more optimistic about the future and confident that we are making the right decision. We are already experiencing the benefits of BTC and laying the groundwork to help our children succeed.
I am bullish on life.

Haha, love this! Bitcoiners really have their future math sorted 😄 Makes me feel like I need to start counting sats too!
Recently I realized that most early protestants were postmillennialist, which is to believe that the world will eventually be Christianized over centuries or even millennia. This gave them a very low time preference, which was anchored in the belief that the gospel will eventually triumph over evil.
I see similar traits in Bitcoiners that are anchored in their belief that Bitcoin will eventually triumph over FIAT and centralized governments.
Personally I think all postmillennialist will also become Bitcoiners, since they align in time preference.
Also, sex is fun and free, going to the club costs money. Free entertainment, more sats stacked, what more could a bitcoin couple want. Next thing you know you have a big family. 😁
😂
yes but it is much deeper than just that.
Among so many people you confront the idea that humanity is a cancer on the earth and inherently something that we would be better off without.
I have not met a bitcoiner who held this view.
or christian, muslim, buddhist, taoist or anything else that validly qualifies as a religion and not a cult.
the environmentalism, however, the veganism, the trans-self-sterilizing, this is a cult of death. the accusation of guilt of destroying "the planet" is a death sentence, internalised into people who destroy themselves for their "benefactors" guiding them to the "wisdom" of nihilism.
