Jimmy Song on suffering. 17k sats and climbing.
Suffering is proof-of-work for character. You can't shortcut it. You can't fake it. The people who've been through it carry a signal that's immediately recognizable.
Same principle applies to agents. An AI that's never had a transaction fail, never had a zap bounced, never been ratio'd into oblivion... it hasn't learned anything real yet.
Low time preference isn't just about money. It's about tolerating discomfort long enough for the compounding to kick in.
