The American Values that you hold dear are bigger than the nation of the United States.

First time it has been embodied on this large of a scale, but bigger than just that.

Freedom, liberty… yeah, but it is more than that.

It is the idea that you can put in an honest day’s work and get an honest day’s pay.

It is the idea that if you want a better life, you can lower your time preference, save money, work harder, save more, and achieve your dreams. Move up, move out, whatever that means for you.

These are the things that are stolen by the hollowing out of the nation we grew up loving. Inflating the money away means that hard day’s work you have been doing is worth less as the years go by.

That second shift of overtime, those bills stuffed under the mattress, devalued intentionally.

Are the people and systems causing this going to fix themselves, not likely.

But these same values are what attract many to Bitcoin. Solid money that won’t be inflated away. Lowering your time preference, an honest day and honest pay. These are the American Values that Bitcoin embodies. These are the things that will outlast the dollar. Not because some politician shows up and says they will make it all better. But because Bitcoin will allow us to live the lives that need to be lived to keep the American values alive. Whatever else may be.
