"How many grossly unhealthy people do you see at Bitcoin conferences? At other conferences I go to—like surgical conferences—the average person is much more unhealthy.
So what is it about Bitcoiners and Bitcoin? I think it's a time preference thing. When you have hope for the future, when you can plan for the future, when you can save for the future, you're incentivized to have a set of behaviors that are advantageous. Whereas if your money is disappearing beneath you and there's no incentive to save, you're more likely to spend the money and perhaps live for the now—maybe eat a bit more fatty food, drink a bit more, gamble a bit more. And all of those unhealthy, consumerist-type, fiat-incentivized behaviors contribute to why we've seen an explosion in obesity in the Western world since the 70s."
