Bitcoin: The Counter-Cultural Savings Account
In my adolescents I quickly learned I did not mind talking in public. Speaking on stage to a large audience never gave me the cold sweats or knee knocking that so many people experience. When I started college I thought for sure I would be a Communications or Public Relations major but after taking Psychology 101 I knew I wanted more. I loved hearing about some of the no-longer-PC psyc experiments from yesteryears.
One of my favorite experiments to read about was the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment

The researchers used marshmallows and other treats to see which kids were able to delay their gratification for a larger reward in the long run and which kids chose the immediate smaller pay off.
Dear America,
I think we are being nudged into the immediate, smaller pay off agglomeration.
We are not incentivized to save.
Exhibit A
Banks give us very poor returns on our savings account, three giant banks in the USA that are not even shy about it
Chase -
Bank of America - 
Wells Fargo -
With Nation Inflation rates “cooling down” to 6% it seems pretty deficient that all these massive banks have their standard savings accounts all coming in at well-below 1%.
Inflation means if we hold our money in cash it will lose value over time.
So what do we do? We are left to invest.
We put on our reading glasses, pay for help, and attempt to put our money into stocks, real-estate, and any other non-monetary asset we can to store our value. For far to long our money has been incapable of storing value and we’ve moved on to other methods.
Some don’t invest at all : ( instead they spend it all. Spend it all and get a credit card to spend a little more on top of that.
It’s about time we consider some other methods to store some value, I would like to offer Bitcoin as a possible option.
Bitcoin is a savings account that changes your time-preference.
It pains you to look at it on a daily-frequency and rewards you for expanding your time preferences and checking in on it every 5 years.
From day to day, month to month, and even year to year Bitcoin’s value swings up and down, up and down.
However when you start to look at what happens to people who decide to save in bitcoin for 3, 4, or 5 years they are able to actually store their value in a way that keeps up with and/or exceeds inflation. 
Are you ready to try something different?
Sound money, sound sleep.
