There are no High Time Preference Farmers

They have to think years out, planting in the face of a storm or a late freeze that could ruin a whole season because over a long enough it will work out enough.

Managing nature's volatility is their job.

The small farms that make it root deep into their community. They sell direct to people who'll pay more for local food they trust and who will stick around during the down years.

That's the same thing I've seen in the Bitcoin circular economy. People voting with their money to build the world they want.

Want to orange-pill your farmer? Become their best customer first. Then offer to pay in bitcoin.

Why pay in bitcoin?

Some people are worth orange-pilling for selfish reasons. A farmer who thrives through the debasement is one less source of volatility in your life.

If you want your food producers to keep feeding you, be the reason they get on the life raft.

You don't need to orange pill the world, just a circle of people you interact with on a regular basis. Orange pill the ones who you have direct commerce with. Circular economies organically grow this way.
