🔥 Midday Rant Alert! 🔥
The fiat Ponzi (broken money 💵) is shifting people's time preference from longer-term to short-term. As our purchasing power deteriorates, we're no longer incentivized to save, resulting in a consumption-based economy.
We can clearly see this just by looking at our goal-setting. Take a second to think about your top three favourite memories.
Now, take a step back and look at your goals. For the most part, society is teaching us to base our goals around the 3 P's:
1. Prestige 👑: Respect and admiration from others around you
2. Power ⚔️: A position in which you have power and control
3. Possessions 🚗: Purchase of stuff
What do you notice? I am willing to bet that your most cherished memories have nothing to do with the 3 P's. Instead, the majority of your favourite memories are under the 3 C's:
1. Challenges 🏔️: Hard times that raised awareness and increased resiliency
2. Contributions ⌛️: Times in which you gave back for the greater good
3. Connections 👪: Times in which you were in the company of people you care about and who inspire you
The takeaway: If we want a happier and healthier society, we should focus on redefining our goals around the three Cs and stop listening to the media's advice to focus on power, prestige, and possessions.
To conclude, challenge yourself, give back, stack sats, and spend time with the people you care about!
@JosiasCarbon@saylor@BitcoinerJobs Love this, and couldn’t agree more. I also love how as Bitcoin shifts our time preference to longer term security and prosperity, we start spending more time looking inwards and deepening our understanding of how we want to show up in this world.
Money is simply stored time and energy. Every dollar you spend is a reflection of how you’ve chosen to trade your finite hours on this planet. So here is a question for you...
Are you spending your time—or your money—on what truly matters to you?

In part 4 of the Fiat Chronicles, we look the societal consequences of endless war, corruption, and de-dollarization as the fiat world collapses.
"Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space" Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (I was there with my son in 2018 and it was incredibly mystical, magical, and transcendent and I will never forget it). There is an element of the Divine in the craftsmanship of our humanity attempting to encapsulate the majesty and grandeur of the Divine in physical and structural manifestations.
