Bitcoin is ideal money.
Eth is an affinity scam.
If you don’t what an affinity scam is, I recommend you do the research.
The conversation about smart contracts and coalitions… in contrast to ideal money… goes all the way back to 1950. And remember, survival is the exception.

Bitcoin is Ideal Money.
Better than sound money.
Everything else is spam.

Bitcoin’s original intent:
AIM
Asymptotic Ideal Money
Not a blockchain bulletin board (v30)
The future of money is fundamentally Nash’s Bitcoin versus von Neumann’s Ethereum.
Bitcoin reflects Nash’s non-cooperative equilibrium.
Nash’s dissertation became one of the most cited works in economic theory because it proved the Adam Smith idea: a system can reach a stable outcome even when each participant acts entirely on individual incentives. No committees, no coalitions, and no central authority are required. The rules remain stable because no single actor benefits from trying to change them. This insight earned Nash the Nobel Prize in Economics and is the intellectual backbone of Bitcoin’s governance. Stability emerges because coordination is unnecessary.
Ethereum reflects von Neumann’s cooperative and coalition governance.
Von Neumann founded modern game theory on the idea that coalitions can negotiate outcomes. Ethereum follows this model. Rule changes depend on coordinated groups such as the Foundation, core developers, large validators, and social consensus. Governance is active, political, and negotiated.
Analysts often treat Bitcoin and Ethereum as if each system relies on the same economic and governance structure. This misunderstanding could result in catastrophic losses for savers, investors, and governments.

Bitcoin is Nash’s Whisper. The emergent infinite-equilibrium doesn’t need a war. It is an unbeatable strategy.
The chaos? Noise.
The end? Silence.
Bitcoin wins by being the only move left.
@LawrenceLepard and the gold-bugs share a 54-year-old "revolutionary" narrative. That revolutionary narrative might continue to be a delusion.
Nash rejected "politically oriented thinking as essentially a hopeless waste of intellectual effort" His recovery from mental illness involved rejecting grand thinking in favor of rational-evolutionary analysis. Why "Whimper" Makes More Game-Theoretic Sense.
Nash’s equilibrium thinking: No player can improve their position by unilaterally changing strategy. Central banks facing Bitcoin don't need to collapse - they need to adapt strategy to remain competitive.
Nash’s later writings (“Ideal Money”), Nash proposed the idea of:
“A non-political money, invariant in its measure of value, resistant to manipulation.”
A prophecy of Bitcoin?
He believed that economic cooperation required a stable invariant standard of value, not subject to political inflation or arbitrary scaling, exactly the invariance Bitcoin enforces through:
•Fixed supply (21M BTC cap),
•Algorithmic issuance,
•Open consensus validation.
Bitcoin, in that sense, realizes Nash’s invariant cooperative ideal in digital form, a “Nash Equilibrium for Money.”
Todd and Lopp are bad actors. An Affinity scam is a type of fraud where scammers exploit a sense of trust or shared identity between themselves and their target.
Asymptotically Ideal Money (AIM) or arbitrary blockchain?
Lopp and Todd are bad actors.

A programmer.
Not a master of value nor economics.
Coretard.
It is obvious:
Satoshi Nakamoto was John Nash,
Bitcoin is Nash’s Asymptotic Ideal Money (AIM), and
Coretards v30 departs from bitcoin original intent.

The #DebasementTrade began 2009 JAN 3. Gold is sound money. Bitcoin is ideal money: 21M cap, asymptotically no inflation due to halvings. Asymptotically Ideal Money is Nash’s #AIM. #Gold will give way to #IdealMoney. The Nash Equilibrium will replace Adam Smith’s invisible hand.
Bonds be damned…
chains of debt and fading value;
empires never last forever;
Gold is a step toward honesty.
Asymptotically Ideal Money, a digital transformation, must do better.
Genius, Madness, and AIM helped Nash recover.
Decentralized value and DECENTRALIZED GOVERNANCE.
An emerging standard measurement of value.
Bitcoin fails the Howey test; therefore BTC-AIM, a commodity forever.
Bitcoin Core Must Defend Bitcoin's AIM
OP_RETURN expansion from 80 bytes to 4MB attacks Bitcoin's function as Asymptotically Ideal Money (AIM). Core exists to protect Bitcoin's AIM, not enable data storage corrupting monetary integrity.
Despite community opposition, Core v30 (Oct 2025) transforms Bitcoin from AIM into a data platform via network bloat & UTXO degradation.
Those Responsible Undermining Bitcoin's AIM:
Antoine Poinsot (Chaincode) - Initiated anti-AIM proposal
Peter Todd - Submitted PR #32359 against AIM at corporate request
Gloria Zhao (Chaincode) - Merged attack on AIM (June 10, 2025)
Greg Sanders (Blockstream) - Championed AIM degradation
These individuals chose corporate interests over Bitcoin's AIM. Their coordinated removal of spam protections directly sabotages Bitcoin's AIM.
Those compromising Bitcoin's AIM must be removed from Core development. Bitcoin's future as Asymptotically Ideal Money (AIM) depends on it.

Bitcoiners shun John Nash for his schizophrenia, just as the public shuns those with mental illness. Some Bitcoiners distance themselves from Nash, worried his mental illness undermines Bitcoin’s credibility. Regardless of some weak-minded bitcoiners, Nash was blessed with a beautiful paranoia. And his recovery had everything to do with rejecting politics and other centralized solutions.
