Really interesting case. Just I'm not sure it's a 100% central banking approach. On one hand, money represents time and energy—you perform an action, you get a reaction. On the other hand, you've become the source, the gatekeeper, the master of the rules. The most fascinating part here is actually seeing how smartly kids try to trade with you. Maybe this reflects human mentality more than a banking structure—their almost intuitive approach versus your feelings of "having the power." Maybe switch chips/tokens to bitcoin—you're not issuing anything new, just paying for PoW, you and your wife too, actually kids can pat each other as well im some cases (example: I'll give you 2100 extra SATs if you today for the laundry for me ; entrepreneur approach). Maybe an option to show them how savings work could help too, something like a family dashboard with SATs saved each week/month and even reward badges to show how great each member is doing. Not sure, but maybe worth trying. All in all, it's definitely a good topic—a real-life case—to have a broader conversation at home. AND: You're not a monster 🙃
