Hi everyone! This is my first Nostr post. Somehow just the existence of this place provokes deep thought. My daughter recently explained to me that "First- all of this was in the future, right?" This logic has proven to be too difficult for me to dismiss, and I now believe that it is probable that the universal sequence of events moves towards the past, not the future. Time is not sequential, it is relative. We don't really use it to determine an accurate sequence of events, but rather just to help us keep a semblance of order that we exist within and thrive. With all of this in mind I would suggest the possibility that life was born as an effort to escape the inevitability of an impending and universal past. Bitcoin is the first verifiable movement against this sequence. It doesn't just swim against the stream, it is its own stream.
