Oddbean new post about login | logout #Bitcoin allows you to afford luxury items, such as jewellery and cars. But paradoxically, it also makes you desire these things less. Does anyone else find this to be the case? #asknostr
YES
Yes, even for something as small as new headphones. The ones I have are hanging on but could probably last a bit longer lol.
Exactly. It makes you really think about what you want and why.
Yes. And the reason is very simple I think. Bitcoin is a proxy for time. You can easily see how those things are not worth that chunk of your life.
Last night my girlfriend showed me her collection of vintage designer handbags,scarfs, clothes etc Also old Swiss watches. They have increased in value but she is going to sell some of them to buy bitcoin. She bought them with fiat she earned when she worked at Credit Suisse . 😁
Nothing necessarily wrong with buying a nice watch or clothes. We should all just think properly about why we're doing it imo
Yup! That’s how I feel. Should I buy food? Nah, I’ll fast and stack sats. 😆
