It’s Bitcoin or Quantum.
You cannot “double-spend” the ontology of time.
One system demands time to be quantized, discrete and indivisible at a certain threshold. The other demands time to be continuous and infinitely divisible. One says time is just a coordinate and the other says time is a coordinate, a process and an object. One is proof, empirically and openly verifiable; the other is an assumed and unproven axiom that requires your trust.
You must choose one. The time is coming to pick a side. Stop double spending, both cannot logically be true.

Bitcoin = Quantum Computer
Here’s a very awesome discussion of Stephen Wolfram and Brian Greene talking about Bitcoin for over 2 hours, without either of them realizing they are talking about Bitcoin.
So what happens when we get hash rate to1.855094832 x 10^{43} hashes per second?
Unless you’re computing the work of each block then Bitcoin selects orphaned blocks by the longest chain of time, not the longest chain of work.
We should not assume the longest chain of time is the longest chain of work. Once you integrate the second law into Bitcoin, the contents of the blocks are more important than block height of you are specifically talking in the domain of work.
GM, the quantum gravity paradox only exists under the false axiom that time is continuous.
Bitcoin is the answer.
GM, the satoshi is actually the bit-coin, or value-bit.
A satoshi is 1 singular bit of value.
My brain is melting thinking about Bitcoin’s key space. A quantized and bounded unit of space instantiated over every block height. Satoshi created the space by using Secp256k1.
The vast majority of this space will never see a single utxo or bit of value. A single dimension is actually a volume in regards to bitcoins thermodynamics as memory-time-value is placed in this bounded key space, sequentially in the timechain.
Lol Bitcoin is a 4 dimensional object.
Is a private key quantized identity or quantized authority?
Or is it both? Does English have a word for this?
A new year block has been mined. Happy New Year! Onward

If Bitcoin is proof that time is quantized and discrete as Wolfram is also suggesting, then we have our answer.
But then what is Bitcoin?
Tick tock, next block.
At this point it just feels like every single market is waiting for “the headline” to make the big move.
All metals are pointing towards some hyperinflation event.
Is 2026 going to be the year of Linux?
I’m going to buy a new desktop this year and drop Linux Mint on it Day 1. I refuse to use Windows 11.
