When you enter the land and plant any kind of fruit tree, regard its fruit as forbidden. For 3 years you are to consider it forbidden; it must not be eaten. In the 4th year all its fruit will be holy, an offering of praise to the Lord. But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit. In this way your harvest will be increased. I am the LORD your God. -Leviticus 19:23-25 on Bitcoin and delayed gratification
