save money to reduce future uncertainty
to further reduce uncertainty, save in hard money & keep it in your possession
finally, seek out & encourage others to become savers of hard money, so that you'll have more people you can rely on in the future

Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890) was a notorious swordsman of the Victorian era. While at Trinity, the half-Irish Burton killed another student in a duel for mocking his moustache. Burton learned 29 languages and became proficient in fencing. During an expedition to Africa, he was impaled with a native spear, the point entering one cheek and exiting the other, and leaving a scar that can be seen in this photo. Burton authored a number of important texts on the sword (including Sword & Bayonet Exercises, a classic book on the history of the Sword, and his "Sentiment of the Sword" about fencing) and translated a number of important Eastern cultural and mythological texts. A scholar, spy, and world explorer, he also had an interest in the occult, native sexual practices, drugs, runes, snake charming, was initiated into an esoteric Sufi brotherhood, as well as into a Hindu sect, all of which made him a subject of controversy and fascination in his time.

Most diehard bitcoin USERS have 10s to 100s of UTXOs.
Most bitcoin speculators have few to none. If none, then what they have is merely an IOU instead of a UTXO*.
*A UTXO is an "I Owe Me".

Gold has beaten the total return (including dividends) of the S&P500 ETF, SPY, by a significant margin since the turn of the century.
9.3% vs 6.8% CAGR, respectively.
Meanwhile, M2 has risen by 6.9% annually over the same period of time.
Meaning that SPY has more or less protected your wealth, while gold has allowed it to grow by 2.4% each year *in real terms*.

I'm generally of the opinion that bitcoiners should just do their own thing and not try to proselytize too much.
I certainly pushed people away doing the latter in the past.
