 How dare you?! Well I never!

28 sats incoming. nostr:note1vhlfve4tn36mpyxxk5nlt0wxqruezq2wq5d5qwqdd7py7zejwstsfenurq 
 We coulda been frens, but you had to outzap my zap, bro. It coulda been beautiful, bro. Why can't we just get along, bro. 
 Don’t bro me bro. 
 Any time I see a zap between10 and 20 sats I think, "Well, there's a nice fat future Delmonico, medium-rare with a slight toasting of the fatty bits, sprinkled with sea salt, resting on a cutting board... juices still flowing... for my great grandson/daughter in like 50 years."

Because that's where we are, imho.

The ability to visualize likely results of extreme low time preference and hard money pushes one towards mental and emotional castle-building to the benefit of future generations. (Pardon me just a moment while I commission a portrait of self to be displayed in the gallery of my family's future palatial estate.) 
 Most of the people I know who think like this don't actually have kids and many probably never will. 
 Allow me to be your sample size of one, @Laeserin. 

I think like this. 
I am a parent. 

But taking your point as a potential indicator of a significant archetype hodler, and thinking optimistically, maybe future bequests to non-family beneficiaries will be championed by childless hodlers.

Can you imagine prominent buildings in future civilizations like "Laeserin Free Library" or "Laeserin Center for Nutritional Research" for instance?
