Bitcoin, freedom, love & education.
I just read a translation by @Mujahideen that really helped me understand a thought I’ve had for a while but struggled to put into words. Thanks to Italiansatoshi for inspiring me to understand time in Bitcoin as more existential and philosophical, rather than scientific.
I’ve seen many Bitcoin maximalists debating whether to call it “timechain” instead of “blockchain”—mostly because “blockchain” has become such a buzzword and is often misused.
As far as I’m concerned, I could also just call it “chain” or, why not, “satschain.”
For me, the name doesn't change the fact that it’s a continuous chain of data—in practice, a chain of satoshi transactions—that has a unique sense of time: one that emerges existentially from consensus and difficulty adjustments, not from scientific clocks.
So, whatever you call it, the core of Bitcoin remains the same: a protocol where time and truth are intertwined in a living network.
In the end, names are just labels; what truly matters is the temporal and Cartesian revolution that Bitcoin has brought to cyberspace, guaranteeing the second axis of knowledge and uniqueness on the Internet.

Difficulty adjustment un po' alto a questo giro, ma fighissimo!
