Traditional Path vs. The Bitcoin Way

Most people follow the conventional route: work for four decades or more, save diligently in fiat currency, then discover their nest egg has lost significant purchasing power by retirement. The system wasn't designed to reward savers—inflation quietly erodes your wealth while you play by the rules.

Bitcoiners operate differently. They accumulate sats methodically, watching their holdings strengthen as the broader market recognizes scarcity and digital scarcity as a store of value. Rather than hoping the traditional financial framework works in their favor, they exit the game entirely. It's not about rejecting work or responsibility—it's about choosing an asset that doesn't depreciate on someone else's monetary policy decisions.

The math is brutal when you lay it out: decades of labor versus asset appreciation that actually keeps pace with (or exceeds) inflation. One path leads to diminishing returns. The other? Financial optionality.
