We’re still so early in Bitcoin that even when you group together all the companies building around it, it still looks like a hyper niche market to most people.

The products being developed might seem odd or ahead of their time, but this could very well be a build it and they will come moment.

At this stage, many of the companies that appear to be operating on a Bitcoin standard are still seen through a fiat lens, as if they’re just traditional businesses with a Bitcoin twist, but over time, that perception may flip.

Some things, like multi century projects or long term alignment with incorruptible money; might only be possible on a true Bitcoin standard.

Eventually, it may make far more sense to invest your Bitcoin into Bitcoin native companies rather than sell it to buy some leveraged fiat proxy.

Right now, that idea still feels ahead of its time, but it won’t stay that way forever.

Our vision of Bitcoin’s future is still tethered to ideas of the past; rooted in hard money nostalgia.

It’s like imagining a flying car that looks like a DeLorean with a flux capacitor; cool, but still confined by retro expectations.

The real future of Bitcoin will likely be far more imaginative, and far more practical, than what we can currently dream up.

Critics may get bitter about Bitcoin’s rising prominence, but that raises the question: compared to what? The existing system, where a select few benefit at everyone else’s expense? They’re welcome to keep playing that rigged game…but we finally have options.

Why wouldn’t we explore the one designed to be fair and accessible?

Bitcoin isn’t exclusive…it’s an open invitation to anyone ready to step into the future and understand what’s possible.

Great insights! #HornsUpForSatoshi

hahahaha sure is

Here are my 2 sats:

The idea of an afterlife—whether comforting or intimidating—remains, at best, a possibility, not a certainty.

Since we have no means of verifying what lies beyond death other than dying to see, allowing such a hypothetical to dominate our decisions in the present risks anchoring our lives to speculation rather than to reality.

Regarding the belief in it, someone might be tempted to do the bare minimum—secure the “ticket” to some imagined paradise, then maximize present-day gratification with a high time preference.

Alternatively, the promise of eternal joy could encourage extreme patience, a kind of stoic or religious endurance, lowering one’s time preference to near-zero, as all current discomfort is minimized in light of the coming reward.

But both paths rely on a level of certainty that we don’t—and likely can’t—possess about the matter.

A more grounded approach is to let such beliefs inform us, but not completely govern us.

Beliefs about the afterlife may carry emotional or philosophical value, but they shouldn’t eclipse the imperative to live well now.

Meaning, growth, and peace in this life are worthy ends in themselves—not just strategies for possible future pleasures or insurance against possible future pains.

Whether or not something awaits us after death, the only responsible position is to orient our lives around what we know to be real: the present.

That doesn’t mean ignoring that there is an unknown before us.

This helps us to give it its proper weight in our present life, perhaps, but not the ultimate power over our decisions.

In that light, time preference should be shaped by what is more plausible real, not by unprovable promises, wishes and fears.

Choosing wisely in the now is the clearest path to integrity, regardless of what may—or may not—come next.
