21 sats \ 7 replies \ @DesertDave 21 Jul \ on: My wife doesn't want to spend any bitcoin! bitcoin
That's awesome..i have not worked in a couple years now and I sometimes sell Bitcoin to pay for things. I have learned to find peace with it. As much as I want to stack, I am just grateful to know about Bitcoin and to have a plan. Abundance mindset > wealth.
I support this.
Not totally unrelated story, in the street I grew up in, there was an old lady living alone in a decrepit house who was known to be seen begging in the streets at times. When she died, they found the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash in her house, where nobody would have expedted as much as a solid plate.
Some bitcoiners strike me this way, the "if you have a frame for your mattress, you're short bitcoin!" types. While you're starting out stacking, fine. but later.. what the hell is wrong with these people? What good is it to hold on to everything and die with a stack worth a million in fiat while living off of crumbs? I would agree that's it a bad idea to spend ALL your bitcoin, but there's a line you should be comfortable to draw down to.
You can view it as thanking yourself for making some really good decisions a few yeras back, and also a way to fight the anxiety that "you might need it ALL tomorrow!"

Totally. We want to live better lives. Not be obsessed with saving for later. Bitcoin has helped me live more simply but there is a balance. One that isn't greedy but abundant. And isn't impoverished but sustainable.

Yes. Once we get on a Bitcoin standard, we will learn to treasure quality of quick, and easy. And we will make and trade directly. I'm excited for this future. This is what we are working on building here at moto mountain.

💯 We have never had a true free market before. When the money is nonsense, there is no clear signal of value.

It's all about long term time preference.
