Agreed, well worth the wait!

Beautiful drawings. Glad to see another architect who’s a fan of scarpa on here. Brion cemetery is one of my favorite places I’ve visited.

And so it begins…

I don’t agree that all of the things on the list would be negatively affected. In fact I think it would make the effectiveness even more pronounced. Certainly true you could be in a workplace structure that doesn’t allow for some of these to take place during your workday but outside of that they are unaffected. You also have the optionally to leave a workplace that is not conducive to things on this list. Yes there is risk involved but greatly rewarded by the things that actually matter

Order emerges when energy is allowed to flow freely through a system

Bitcoin keys are pure entropy. They are random, vast, and unknowable.

Yet they unlock absolute truth

Sound familiar?

Relative: Entropy protects against prediction/control. Ownership becomes OBJECTIVE

Absolute: Massive randomness - no local cause - points to undivided wholeness

NGU is important. It lowers time preference, attracts capital which builds a stronger network effect, rewards early risk takers. Don’t let others discount whatever your goals are. But at the same time it is also not important. The value is sovereignty, truth, and freedom. Obsessing over NGU just feeds ego/fear/greed. The utility exists regardless of price. NGU is necessary and thinking beyond NGU is also necessary. It’s not black and white and you can’t have one without the other

Money is flow of energy in motion, never a place to rest.

“When I have X I’ll be safe/free/happy”

Everyone’s X is vastly different. It also can change unpredictability like the weather.

The ego believes it can control the flow and to an extent in the relative game it “can” via discipline, heuristics, and optimization.

But forecasting is partial at best. Changing conditions make precision impossible.

Certainly valid points. Bitcoin in the first world tends to gravitate towards those with high conviction and a long time horizon. Everyone will get bitcoin exactly when they need it. And for some in the situations you laid out maybe they never will need it.

Curious which ones?

16 years is a drop in the bucket compared to gold.

More people are ready to wake up than you think. Live the way you know how and the direction your heart and intuition take you. The form will remember

Couple of reasons why more people don’t understand bitcoin:

- it’s complex, new and abstract

- most lack monetary/economic background

- media focuses on price/speculation

- cognitive bias favors fiat because it’s familiar

- volatility scares casual users

- education gap persists despite adoption

You are early. Don’t worry

You think Andreas abandoned bitcoin? In what way?

These are beautiful times.

Always remember that this is necessary.

Participate in creation, save in #bitcoin

The Generational Wealth Cascade

Your 1 Bitcoin Today:

• 2031: Supports comfortable lifestyle

• 2041: Your kids can each inherit 0.2-0.3 Bitcoin and be financially secure

• 2051: Your grandkids inherit generational wealth

The Magic:

Your single Bitcoin, saved during the transition, becomes the foundation for generations of family prosperity.

The most beautiful part? Your kids won’t stress about money the way we did. They’ll focus on relationships, creativity, contribution, and experiences - because the money just… works.

They’ll look back on our era of financial complexity the way we look back on washing clothes by hand.

They’ll never know the anxiety of watching their savings lose value. That alone is the greatest gift we could give them.

A Day in 2041: Your Daughter’s Life

Your daughter (age 18) in 2041:

Morning: Uses a device that cost 800 sats (would be 15,000 sats in today’s purchasing power) for her personalized AI education

Afternoon: Works part-time earning 200,000 sats/year, saving 150,000 (75% savings rate is normal now)

Evening: Lives in shared housing that costs 15,000 sats/month, planning to buy her first home at age 25

Future Planning:

• On track to own 0.8 Bitcoin by age 25

• Can afford a 1.8 Bitcoin house with 10 years of savings

• No student debt, no financial stress

• Considering starting a family in her late 20s (economically feasible)

How Your Kids Think Differently

Time Preference:

• They naturally delay gratification (money appreciates)

• Plan decades ahead confidently

• Don’t feel pressure to “beat inflation”

Work Attitudes:

• Focus on value creation, not financial gimmicks

• Can afford to pursue passions

• Less stress about retirement (saving actually works)

Social Relations:

• Less keeping up with the Joneses (deflation benefits everyone)

• More cooperation, less zero-sum thinking

• Genuine community building

Now we wonder:

“Why did we put up with that broken system for so long?”

The transition felt inevitable once it started because #bitcoin simply worked better as money. All the academic theories and political resistance couldn’t overcome basic monetary physics.

It’s like asking why people eventually chose cars over horses.

The superior technology just… wins.

Looking back, the only mystery is why it took as long as it did.

The Irony of the Transition

What Critics Said Would Happen:

• Economic stagnation

• Deflation death spiral

• Innovation collapse

• Social chaos

What Actually Happened:

• Productivity boom (businesses had to actually improve to survive)

• Wealth inequality decreased (Cantillon effect eliminated)

• Innovation accelerated (capital went to real value creation)

• Social stability increased (people could save for the future)

“We Need Monetary Policy for Crises!”

The Fear: Without central banks printing money, we couldn’t respond to emergencies.

What Actually Happened:

• Crises became smaller and less frequent without moral hazard

• When problems arose, real solutions emerged instead of monetary band-aids

• Markets cleared faster without intervention

• Genuine charity and mutual aid replaced government money printing

“The Transition Will Be Chaos!”

The Fear: Mass unemployment, economic collapse, social unrest during the changeover.

What Actually Happened:

• It was remarkably smooth - like switching from horses to cars

• Prices found their natural levels within 18 months

• The most disruptive part was watching bloated financial sectors shrink

• People adapted to thinking in sats faster than anyone expected

“People Won’t Spend If Money Appreciates!”

The Fear: Economists screamed about “deflationary spirals” - that if money gained value, people would hoard it and the economy would collapse.

What Actually Happened:

• People still need food, shelter, entertainment, and experiences

• We just became more thoughtful consumers

• The economy didn’t collapse - it became more efficient

• Businesses had to genuinely compete on value instead of relying on monetary inflation to mask poor performance

Turns out: People don’t stop living their lives just because their money appreciates 3-5% annually. They just stop buying junk they don’t need.

#bitcoin is created at the exact point in the evolution of consciousness that it is necessary.

But it is only the beginning. Eventually it will no longer be needed but only when that is deemed necessary as well.

Always hold in your mind:

1. All things are necessary

2. You are part of creation and your thoughts influence that which is created

3. The future is going to be so much better than it is today.

It has always been that way and it will always be that way because we are not the end goal but the necessary step in the evolution of life

I’m now going to take you to a world where #bitcoin has already won. Enjoy
