I recently got to catch up with a friend of 20 years. Back in 2013 I gave him some bitcoin, and out of all the people who I gave Bitcoin to back then, he was the only one who managed to not lose it.

He never sold. That gift seeded his interest and he has been buying regularly since 2017. He told me, “my horizon is 20 years, it’s a growing part of my portfolio, but most of the time I don’t even think about it.”

He also was a lifelong agnostic, but recently converted to Catholicism and it renewed his love for life and is now having another kid when he thought he was past that stage of his life.

We chatted for 2 hours mostly about theology and family, and a little about bitcoin.

At one point a woman who overheard us walked over, to tell us she was so happy to hear these kind of conversations were happening for our generation. She was recently married, and is finishing her medical degree, strategizing when she should start having kids. She told me that her overhearing me say one of my biggest regrets in life was putting off having kids, that she may start her family sooner.

This is the revolution. Not day to day price swings, but low time preference investment in not just our portfolios, but our families.
