Does Bitcoin Make People Happy?

People that understand Bitcoin will tell you much better they feel as a result of it. They are more motivated to do constructive things with their lives and they feel generally happier.

Some would explain the improvement in ones life that comes from understanding Bitcoin as being the result of being part a community that co-operates to build interesting stuff. The general sense of camaraderie and the distinct lack of competition vs other areas of systems development is very noticeable.

Others might explain improvement wellness that comes from being down the bitcoin rabbit hole as being the result of a change in ones time preference. The structure of money pricing into the future implies something to an individual about whether the value of their time is greater now or in future. If you perceive that investing your time now with the expectation of greater payout in the future, then you are more likely to engage in activities that build long term value.

I personally think that one has to consider the concept of hope in the framing of ones view of the world. If you believe that central bank activities are very likely to one day lead to inflation and a bankruptcy of the currency, then it is almost impossible to feel a sense of dread about the future. With Bitcoin on the scene, it is possible to consider that a busting of the everything bubble might the dawn of a new era of financial inclusion and respect for private property.

In reality it is probably all three of the these things that Bitcoiners are happy about. If you haven't learned a great deal about #Bitcoin, then I recommend that you give it a try and see how it makes you feel.
