Agreed that 1 sat = 1 sat is essentially meaningless.

As to your second point, I would add that part of why we have an out of control grotesque level of consumption, waste, and pollution is that the future value of money is less than the current value. "Cash is trash so better to buy something now than save for later when it will buy less." This is a notion we all somehow innately know without understanding exactly why - until we better understand how money works. I thank Bitcoin for waking me up to this.

Sound money does indeed make purchasing decisions MUCH more considered. And this is welcome in my opinion. Sound money will engender a renaissance. Craftsmen (and women) will focus their energy on creating tools and products that will last generations instead of manufacturing mountains of plastic crap that breaks in 5 minutes. We will buy only products that can be repaired or that are guaranteed for life, that are built to last.

Knowing that your savings will hold and increase in value in the future will completely eliminate profligate spending and insane ecology destroying levels of consumption - unless you are a fool. We will only consider buying something that will hold it's value LONG into the future. We will seek the highest possible quality and reject disposable goods completely. Sound money changes everything. And this is needed desperately.
