Truth.

But, Devil's Advocate, learning low time preference requires a social environment that is both predictable, and respectful of people's rights. No point planning and working for some future asshole's benefit.

People who didn't grow up like that are a large minority in the West already, and I can only see that going up in the near term...

Agreed, in the short to midterm I see rising time preference for non Bitcoiners too.

Most important control knobs for time preference are money, property rights and a secure future. All three knobs are corrupted or in danger.
