TLDR Bitcoin is built on a philosophical foundation as different from the mainstream one as Mars is from Earth. Bitcoin rejects this economic model, declaring loudly: “to hell with discounting!” Bitcoin is insulated from the corrosive forces of inflation, one Bitcoin today is at least as valuable as one Bitcoin tomorrow: or so the theory goes. The ultimate vision of the cypherpunks is immortality. They believe humanity is on the precipice of cheating death. This is one reason why it can be hard for those resigned to mortality to fully embrace Bitcoin.via the TL;DR App
