Agreed. Bitcoin exposes truth whereas fiat has a tendency to distort it. Once people realize that Bitcoin is an economic system that tries to account for truth, they then question 1) where else in my life have I not been seeking truth or didn’t know about the truth; 2) how can I do better in my life. That’s why there are many anecdotes from Bitcoiners that report changing their health habits after holding bitcoin because they realize they were following diets or advice that was not conducive to the truth of their bodies. Also, they take more personal responsibility over their lives then they did before rather than exporting to others. I find this is fascinating. There is something about fiat money that is indeed unhealthy that warrants more examination and discussion.
You're still missing my point. Bitcoin only has an association with this in the sense that its stated on a community focused on Bitcoin with strong associations between Fiat money and fiat. Again, there's a higher form of fiat that's different from Fiat Money, just as there's a higher form of non-fiat that's different from Bitcoin, the non-fiat money. I also said Bitcoin "points" to a non-fiat life, which is just about as loose an association that you can get.
Even still, whatever the association there is, its enough to attract the interest of nostr:nprofile1qqspxw8hwq2356rcjcwe5vt3rmlpsdveq49ptkfncfu8vgu7sznlqxcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcwxqmwj, a professor in working in public health to both look into this association for research create and build towards an institution focused around how individuals who go down the Bitcoin path tend to also change their health habits.
And that last point, if you like Bitcoin beyond a pure technological curiosity, you recognize that it does something that other systems don't or are less effective at. Going back to the point again, it doesn't necessitate that Bitcoin /fixes/ anything, but rather that it is an alternative incentive structure. Changing incentives does not guarantee any change in behavior, but it biases it.
From Charlie Munger, "Show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcome." If you change an individual's incentives, you have no need to pursuade anyone to act some specific way.
