#Bitcoin is unapologetically verifiable “No-Thing-Ness”, making it the perfect measuring stick for everything else’s “Thing-Ness”.

#MicroStrategy is moving like $1 trillion company, because it is a $1 trillion company. Markets just don’t realize it yet.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.

The Finite Consciousness in an Infinite Information Age
In the vast expanse of human experience, we each possess a finite amount of consciousness, time, and computational capacity. This was once a manageable limitation, allowing us to allocate our mental resources with some degree of effectiveness. However, the advent of microprocessors has radically transformed this landscape, flooding us with an unprecedented volume of information.
The microprocessor, a marvel of human ingenuity, has detached the generation of information from the traditional constraints of time. What once took hours, days, or even lifetimes to gather, calculate, or communicate can now be processed in milliseconds. This has led to an information deluge, where the sheer volume of data available demands our attention, our consciousness, and our time.
The challenge we face is one of allocation. With every byte of data screaming for our focus, how do we decide where to direct our finite resources? Here, money traditionally plays a pivotal role. It serves not just as a medium of exchange but as a tool for signaling value, directing human effort, and prioritizing tasks across a distributed network of minds. Money, in essence, is meant to be our collective compass, guiding us to allocate our consciousness, time, and compute where they are most needed or valued.
However, in this age where microprocessors amplify information to an extent we've never known, our monetary systems reveal their profound inadequacies. Money, as we know it, has become disconnected from the real value it's supposed to represent. Inflation, manipulation by centralized entities, and the abstraction of currency from tangible assets have all contributed to a system where money no longer efficiently guides our resources.
This misalignment is not just an economic issue; it's a crisis of attention and cognition. If money cannot reliably signal where our collective compute should be directed, we risk squandering our most precious resource: our time. We find ourselves in an era where the noise of information can drown out the signal of what truly matters, leading to misallocated human effort and creativity.
Enter Bitcoin. This digital money, born from the crucible of the 2008 financial crisis, offers a potential beacon in this information storm. Bitcoin introduces a monetary system that is inherently resistant to the distortions of traditional finance. Its fixed supply mimics the scarcity of time and consciousness, providing a monetary base that cannot be inflated away. Its decentralized nature ensures that no single entity can control or manipulate the flow of value, thus preserving the integrity of the signal it sends.
Bitcoin, through its protocol, hardcodes scarcity into the digital realm. This scarcity is not just about financial value but about the allocation of human attention and effort. By necessitating energy and computational power for its mining, Bitcoin ties monetary creation back to real-world resources and time, much like the human mind requires energy and time to process information.
In this new world, where microprocessors have made it abundantly clear that our traditional money is broken, Bitcoin could be the compass we need. It offers a way to navigate through the flood of information by ensuring that the allocation of our collective consciousness is guided by a system that respects the scarcity of time and compute.
Thus, Bitcoin stands as a potential solution to recalibrate our efforts in an age where information is infinite, but our capacity to process it remains finite. It's not just about safeguarding wealth; it's about safeguarding our minds, our time, and ultimately, our potential as a species to focus on what truly advances us. In a world where every microprocessor-generated bit fights for our attention, Bitcoin might just give us the clarity to direct our gaze towards the horizon of human progress, rather than getting lost in the waves of data.

Cryptographers could teach physicists a lot about how reality works.

"No phenomenon is a real phenomenon until it is an observed phenomenon."

Just like any other phenomenon, the observation of #Bitcoin makes it real.
Observe ₿itcoin. 👀
Haha, now do the same pole here on #Nostr. 😏

Green screens are to film directors, what #fiat money is to governments and central banks.
They’re both tools used to project a narrative of the creator’s choosing; They work best when the audience is ignorant to how the underlying technology works.
#Bitcoin fixes this.
TLDR: #Bitcoin fixes this…
The Green Dollar: An Economic Green Screen for Deception
In a world where illusions are currency, the green dollar reigns supreme, much like the green screen in Hollywood. Just as directors manipulate scenes to tell their tales, governments and central banks use the dollar to orchestrate a grand deception.
On the global screen of our monetary system, the dollar's true nature is hidden behind a facade of stability and value. The financially illiterate, akin to moviegoers unaware of CGI's power, see only the surface - not the intricate manipulations beneath.
This green screen of money allows those in power to project a narrative of prosperity and control where none exists. Inflation, debt, and economic bubbles are the special effects used to dazzle and confuse, to keep the populace in a state of subservient economic hypnosis.
While Hollywood's green screen entertains, the dollar's green screen enslaves, shaping our perception of wealth, security, and reality. We are the captive audience, watching the performance of our lives unfold, unaware of the strings being pulled behind the scenes.
In this theater of monetary deceit, every dollar printed adds another layer to the illusion and deception, every policy another cut in the film. The narrative is not one of choice but of manipulation, where the end credits are never in sight, and the reality is far darker than any blockbuster could portray.
#Bitcoin fixes this.
What if time is the product of #consciousness realizing value, making time a reliable measure of value realized, implying the realization of value is fundamental to time and #money is simply how we realize value most efficiently at scale? #BTC

Entropy is less about the state of reality and more about the state of consciousness in the observer.
Entropy is what we call it when we can’t “re-cognize” the inherent order in reality from our particular frame of reference within reality (our current state of consciousness).
