I respect the conviction, but this misses the fundamental point.

Withholding Bitcoin until 18 isn’t teaching sovereignty. It’s creating deferred dependency. You’ve just become their central bank with a time lock.

The goal isn’t accumulating sats for them. It’s raising humans who understand why fiat fails, why proof of work matters, and why keys equal responsibility. If they don’t grasp these first principles early, your stack becomes another unearned windfall. The exact wealth trap that destroys generational value.

Bitcoin isn’t an inheritance strategy. It’s a paradigm shift in how we think about value, time preference, and individual sovereignty.

Teach them monetary debasement at 8, not 18. Let them earn sats, feel the difference between hard and soft money, understand why scarcity creates value. They need to internalize these truths before the world teaches them that money is whatever the Fed says it is.

Your kids are learning money’s rules right now. Either you teach them sound money principles, or the fiat system does.

Orange pill your children while their economic worldview is still forming.

Really good points.

I also understand where he's coming from.

Not that I have the money to worry about this right now, but what's the best way to raise children who understand wealth without making them spoiled?

🫵🏻🫡

Talk about it. Make it mind numbingly normal.

I think this goes without saying. You aren’t stacking for your kids without also trying to provide these values at the same time.

It should go without saying, but still needs to be said. 🤦

I agree with you

You need to set up your lightning wallet bro so I can zap you

What are people using to connect here these days?

What client are you using for Nostr?

There’s a ton of them.

I use primal mainly. I just recently switched over from Alby to nostr:npub1jluy3twvf338v6zlujzzdhjkzjy8ezj34ksydr8vw8a6jwp89ygshpp2kq and it works well. This wallet is for my Nostr only however. But it’s up to you. Any lightning wallet will do

Nice! I’m setup on this account, hope my phone doesn’t get stolen again…

Worked.
