Discussion
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
The chart doesn't say anything about kids.
Doesn't say anything about kids
Married and home owner.
Kids too would make that like .5%
I'm dumb nvm
Nice 👏
We should all live in small high-rise apartments anyway. Because environment and things.
I wish this chart went back further personally. I wanna see the great depression and ww2 on here
this is the answer from gpt-oss using nostr:nprofile1qqs8msutuusu385l6wpdzf2473d2zlh750yfayfseqwryr6mfazqvmgpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vpj9eukz6mfdphkumn99e3k7mf0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytfsxyh8jcttd95x7mnwv5hxxmmd9u0ejx92
That is a great way to look at it! I’m proud to be part of this prestigious group 🫡

Thank you, sir🫡
Best life changing event ever. Congratulations to you and your second half
Appreciate it😎🙌
Congratulations fellow sat stacker!
About to be married and I save in btc. Working on the kid part! Almost hit the trifecta
For some, myself included, a home is not a good measuring stick for success.
renting makes more sense in a lot of situations
agreed
owning is higher risk due to liquidity risk already and dependancy on the current economic cycle
Depends upon the relationship between purchase price and rental price, for the same piece of real estate. Around here, rental prices are so high that you're often better-off buying, mid-term. You're only out the down payment and closing costs, and that is often back in saved rent (including the inevitable increases), within 10 years.
I wouldn't buy real estate as an investment, tho.
Yes, but what is often overlooked is the return you can get on the down payment. Most people use a house as forced savings, but if you can rent and invest your savings, it’s rare for a house to be a better investment.
By every single measure, I’m better off than the generations before me, have more kids, and I’ve never owned a house.
But, if people gain a lot of pleasure from owning their house, I’m happy for them, but let’s not try to pretend it’s the be all, end all, for assessing “success”.
wow

Homeowners or mortgage owners? I doubt any 30 year olds have paid off their home loans 😆
Onward 🫡
So these 1% are a small minority. Usually it's not turning out well to be a minority these days.
agglomeration of land use intensifies 👀
They’re trying to hamstring our will to fight. Bitcoin gives us something worth fighting for. Those who have something to fight for are the fiercest revolutionaries
This charts just tells less people getting married….
I would love to discuss all contributing factors. Good ol trickle down economics! Except, doesn’t seem like a trickle. It can’t be just money, simply because we have other countries and time periods we can refer to.
Married
With three kids
Saving in bitcoin for 4+ years
Own a home
Hopefully in a few years I can help a Bitcoin only company grow (or build one myself!)
It’s so depressing to look at
Even in my small part of the world with the connections I’ve made in person over the last 37 years it’s already evident that I’m in one percent
Then data like this only backed up
I see an incredibly bright future, it’s unsurprising at 99% do not
“Married with Children” was a sitcom about a down and out shoe salesman without a college degree who was the sole bread winner of a family of four who owned a home in the suburbs of Chicago. (TLDR: They’re fucking with the moneys kids.)
😂
Married with a 4 month old, of course saving in bitcoin everyday. 💪🏼 feels that way
That’s the true 1% club 🫡
Almost 30, married, 2 kids, use bitcoin as money, own a home, next goal is work for/own a bitcoin company
Married didn’t get a house until 40 because my btc stack couldn’t handle the draw down. I am 100% btc except for my shitty fiat job 401k. If things go okay I’ll leave the fiat world completely within 5 years.
Married, kids, paid for house, and been stacking hard since 2020. Was a low time preference Bitcoiner before I found it.
Focusing on building a business with my kiddos now. My dad started a business for my brother and I for work in high school. Sold it 20 years later for my mom to retire. Want to teach them good life skills too.
Kids are the best inspiration for living a better life
There was a time when my life began right where many might think it ends:
Married, raising kids, house fully paid off, and a mind that always focused more on tomorrow than today.
But right at that point — where most people stop — I started moving.
I discovered Bitcoin in 2020, but the truth is, I had a low time preference mindset long before I knew the name.
I was searching for something real. Something lasting. Something that couldn’t be taken away.
Now it’s time to pass that mindset on to the next generation.
I’m building a business with my kids — not just to make money, but to teach them.
To teach independence. Responsibility. And how to build — for themselves, and for a better future.
My father once paved the way for us.
Now it’s my turn. Our turn.
To raise our children with a kind of wealth that can’t be stolen:
Understanding. Freedom. Choice.
Bitcoin isn’t just money — it’s a path. A perspective. A philosophy.
What was the business?
Bitcoin based travel/experience company. Hoping to get it live this year. Kind of a combination of fold and Expedia. They are helping with the story telling side as we build. Will get them more involved with the financial side as they get older.
Solid progress. Solid results.
I think building a business with your kids inside might be one of the best things you can do for them instead of school
Importantly it’s their training ground to go and do what they want, not a future they have tk follow
Same here, brother. My children are free to join in the work or play or school. Some will follow, others will lead.
Single plot (non-comparative) charts without a y-axis zero cross are misleading. At least this one is close at roughly 10…. One of my pet peeves.
Above replacement rate. Own a modest house. Saving in BTC. Married of course.
"Married and Wholecoiners"
Yeah! I'm so proud to own my home, I'm married to a wonderful wife, and we have two beautiful kids.
I've also been into Bitcoin for a while now - thanks to the nostr:nprofile1qqs879mhq6kkuzh2wk57xdzanl76uem8d7hlyjd7v4a4jcm4u88d8ygprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qydhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnzd96xxmmfdecxzunt9e3k7mgxzfkn5 and nostr:nprofile1qqsp4rkny94a9wqhdqmrksexuxhzwznu6ml9wza0ak3dcpc0xne6ahqpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvs82jctl podcast #dvadesetjedan I found years ago. 💪
wtf happened in 1971?
Rings true but who published the chart?
Who here doesn’t want to be in the top 1%?
Check check and check
Just be sure to convert to Monero before the divorce
Fun fact, here in Australia nobody technically owns their own home.
Stop paying rates and see what happens (you'll be sent to prison and your home will be auctioned off)
Because the states in USA have more power in USA in a handful of states you can actually own land but most of USA is the same as Australian where if you miss a rate payment you get sent to prison and your house gets auctioned off.
Very few countries where you can actually own land.
It's crazy how much more freedom the Chinese have compared to us westerners.
In China, your family farm can not be seized by the Gov, there are no rates.
You can lease and apartment for 75 years and only pay a one off fee.
You miss one rate payment here and you're going to prison.
That's why China has about 90% home owners
While the west has less and less home owners every year.
At one point you could own land in the US, but a choice was made between freedom and empire. Empire was chosen and here we are now. Rates can be added anytime a Government makes that choice. That's why we stack sats not land.
Married and stacking since 2016. Got my first child on the way. Entering into my increase the population era!
Well that’s not the sign of a healthy society…….
Then I enter this category .... don't tell me 2 times that I really believe it ... Ha ha ha 🤣😂😅🤣😂🤟

BRO IM WINNING WITH 3 KIDS MARRIED FOR 20 YEARS ON THE 29TH OF AUGUST THIS YEAR 📢 FEELS GOOD BROTHER 👊🏼
Same! Three kids, married for 21 years on the 29th of August this year! What a coincidence!
The majority didn't manage it since the 70s. It's been a long decline.
The rise of individualism and student loans.
A long time ago,
I realized I wouldn’t be able to buy a house or inherit one,
but I could stack sats,
so I did.
Now I dwell an invisibile fortress with a moat.
If you are married with children and homeowner and save in bitcoin - and sun balls regularly - you are in the 0.0001%
Welcome to the club fellow degen
Being in the top 1% doesn‘t mean you‘re happy&healthy though.
Maybe top 0,01%
Low bar, but I’ll take it!
What Fiatland did to the world.
WTFhappenedin1991?
There are no coincidences. 🤣
Marriage is overrated.
Married for 27 years, three kids, save in bitcoin. I recently realized that I want grandkids though. Not sure if that will ever happen. 😬
Always knew I was a one percenter!! 😎🚀🧡
