Learning about Bitcoin is not easy. The more I studied Bitcoin, the more I realized it wasn’t about collecting facts. It was about changing how I think. Understanding “what” Bitcoin is wasn’t enough. I had to question “how” I understand anything at all.

I’m always thinking about how highly capable and optimistic people (those who understand tour point about capital allocation, have solved their financial needs, and want to be truly free) must come together to build high-value communities where we can live securely and abundantly. In some cases, these will be small, intentional communities. In others, they may evolve into entirely new countries. We need to escape the noise and focus on what we’re truly capable of creating when we think collectively and tap into our full potential, all while living consciously in the present.

Time allocation is now more important than capital allocation. Capital allocation is a solved problem. Just buy Bitcoin and hold it until you reach escape velocity. The left and right sides of the bell curve understand this. But time allocation? This is an evolving field of study. Personally I'm baking some unique assumptions into my time allocation decisions. Assumptions no one in human history has ever had to navigate. Namely, that AI will completely upend the world as we know it inside of 10 years. There will soon be an abundance of tireless intelligence that exceeds the capacity of the smartest humans on earth. They will be solving humanity's biggest challenges around the clock. That seems entirely reasonable to me. And 10 years is probably a conservative timeline. Even if you completely discount the emergence of a recursively self-improving superintelligence, you should at least consider the possibility that >90% of all paid mental work will disappear. There will be vast societal and economic consequences. Life 10 years from now could be far better or far worse. The optimist in me chooses to believe it will be far better as fewer people will be wasting time on menial work, and the price of things will fall dramatically when priced in BTC. But how should you act if you believe the world will change in an extreme way within the next 10 years? Everyone is in different situations. Personally I'd do everything I could to get as close to 1 Bitcoin as possible within the next 3 years. But if you're already in a solid financial situation, you should probably add a much larger premium to your time than you already do. That's what I'm doing. We are living in a golden age that we will look back on with extreme nostalgia. Similar to how many people look at the time before the Internet as a special time... But x100 - No mass reliance on UBI. - Opportunities for upward mobility still exist with hard work and ingenuity. - No autonomous face-scanning police roaming the streets. - Most places are still safe and pleasant to visit. Are you soaking it in? Are you experiencing this time fully instead of living for the future? As I consider how I want to educate my children, it's obvious that the current system isn't setup for the world that's coming. 20th century jobs as we know them will disappear. Worker drones will be useless. So instead of inculcating the habit of daily mental work and prioritizing the next grade, the next milestone, etc... (as I was trained to do) I will raise kids who know how to enjoy the present. I will encourage their natural ability to live with energy and joy today. I will teach them to value mental, physical, and spiritual discipline. They will dance, laugh, explore, and love. They will do strenuous physical activities, meditate, and spend lots of time in nature with friends and family. They will play sports and make art. And rather than prioritize more financial wealth, I will do these things with them along the way. Because I now view this as the best way to allocate time to prepare for the likely future. And if I'm wrong? The beauty is I'll never regret these things no matter what happens. Study time allocation. Consider the future we're headed towards. And adjust course accordingly 🫡

@AdamBLiv @BTCDadThoughts What a coincidence! I drive a 2020 Corolla too. Fantastic car. Reliable, smooth, and built to last for decades.

@BTCDadThoughts I actually drive a paid off 2020 Corolla 🤣

Wow, imagine how stupid you'd have to be to sell your Bitcoin for $112,000.

Time preference

Bitcoin isn’t just a new asset. It’s much more, and just the start of a new way of thinking. To understand it, we need better mental models. So, this is why I'm starting a new series: Bitcoin Mental Models

This mental model is essential, it truly shifts the pace at which we live and think. Personally, it’s one of my favorites.😄 Delay gratification. Amplify results. See you next week, with another Bitcoin Mental Model. Full article + extra resources: thesignalbtc.com/blog/pure-sign…

A paradigm shift Time preference isn’t just economic. It’s a decision-making compass. "Fix the money, fix the world" begins with fixing your time preference. Choosing to think long-term is the first signal of true sovereignty.

Time for a new mental model! Continuing our series on how Bitcoin rewires how we think. This week: Time Preference. 👇

There we have it. Fiat is hopeless, indeed.

@stackhodler I should be the one thanking you. Your path has been a true reference for me, and I’m sincerely grateful.

@TheSignalBTC Thank you 🙏

The consistent way @stackhodler radiates signal is something to aspire to. It’s not just good content, it’s clarity delivered with purpose.

No one is coming to wake you up. No one will filter the world for you. No one will save you. Wake up. Filter the noise. Save yourself. Have a calm Sunday. Aspire signal.

The riskiest position is having zero Bitcoin. Get off zero. Now. (If you’re not at zero, this is your signal to stack more sats.)

@Shravjhangiani It should feel natural, not a constant fight against accelerated entropy.

Bitcoin is teaching an entire generation that saving isn’t supposed to hurt.

The pond keeps shrinking. The drier it gets, the louder the call to release old reserves. But one day, no old whales will answer.

If Satoshi is still alive (and I doubt it), we’re witnessing the greatest act of self-restraint in human history.
