Sometimes the scale of what our ancestors built for us to remember are hard for us to comprehend. Not only should we strive to be the next generation of caretakers but also remember that this is what we are building for a generation far beyond our own children.
My fiat life revolves around real estate consulting and working with developer's looking to build things (apartments, industrial buildings, shopping centers, etc.).
Even when they get returns that are great by conventional measures, I'm constantly thinking "Why don't they just buy 600BTC, stick it in cold storage for the same 10yr hold and get like 9x the return with no risk or effort instead of a dramatically lower return from this highly speculative over-leveraged financialized real estate product that only works because I can get them a financial incentive."
I really don't think people are ready for how BTC is going to break real estate.
Strong towns are resilient. They don’t bet everything on federal money and fragile systems. They grow from the bottom up, incrementally, with a feedback loop between public investment and community value. They don’t build for prestige. They build for people.

"When cities build their future around the hopes of distant aid, they make decisions that prioritize outside approval over local needs. That’s not strength. That’s dependency."
"A strong city doesn’t mean a wealthy city, or a growing city, or even a city with all the answers. It’s a place with options."
While the focus of the article is on cities, the same could be applied to individuals.
"A strong individual doesn't mean wealthy or ripped, or brilliant. It's a person with options."
Stack sats to have options.
