Bitcoin has fundamentally reshaped how I see the world, especially when it comes to time.
Before Bitcoin, I didn’t think much about concepts like time preference. I lived in a world where instant gratification was the norm—spending without thinking long-term, trusting systems without questioning their longevity, and trading my time for money that constantly lost value.
But Bitcoin flipped that script. By understanding hard money and its deflationary nature, I started to value the future more than the fleeting pleasures of today. It taught me patience. It taught me that building wealth—and a meaningful life—requires thinking in decades, not days.
This shift to a low time preference affects everything:
I save more and spend less on things that don’t add lasting value.
I prioritize investments in health, education, and relationships over consumerism.
I’ve become more skeptical of quick fixes, whether in finances or life decisions.
Bitcoin is more than a technology; it’s a mindset. It teaches discipline and rewards those who think long-term. It aligns incentives with responsibility and helps you see the bigger picture.
When you stop chasing short-term gains and start embracing long-term growth, you don’t just change your financial habits—you change how you live.
