The easiest way to create the future you desire is to do things today your future self will be grateful you did. Holding bitcoin is among the simplest examples of this.

We need new ways to describe Bitcoin and its value to the masses. If you follow my work Block Rewards is focused on getting Bitcoin compensation mainstream. The problem from a comp standpoint that all Bitcoiners understand is that money doesn’t work like it used to and that problem is going to get worse. My mission is to help companies understand why they need to help their staff save in sats. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=7187998

The error code produced by independently functioning notions of time & value produces a logic system that rests on relentless optimization. The clock spins in circles while money becomes less valuable each rotation. It produces a form of mania that is visible in the built environment. The endless proliferation of rectilinear spaces is a form of monothink that self reinforces that logic & makes the system itself invisible. The matrix is a learned way of thinking.

Why did the attacker completely disregard privacy by consolidating stolen coins into a single address? How did the attacker, who clearly planed this for a long time, fail to plan to cover their own tracks? Why did the attacker use KYC'd service providers? Why did Coldcard make these "wink-wink easter egg" posts about this exact bug around the same time the bug first appeared in the code base? If it was merely a "retirement attack," why not exercise discretion so you could actually retire? Why did the timing line up with major politically relevant developments like CLARITY and a Bitcoin Security Coalition?

A good false flag event requires real victims that generate a deep fear in the heart of the observer. One that resonates because it’s relatable. From there the feeling is amplified by sleeper agents and the media machine into an orchestrated mechanism to corral the masses. When the panic has really taken hold, questioning the event itself is social suicide. The dialogue instead zeroes in on what went wrong and what could be done to prevent it from happening again. Problem. Reaction. Solution.

I’m the guest this week on the Kelly Brogan podcast. This was an exciting step out of the Bitcoin podcast circuit for me. It was great to have an intellectually honest conversation with someone who didn’t have a strong opinion and just asked great questions.

From today’s Nordic Node 😁

It’s about time.

Bitcoin Ireland Conference is two weeks away and I have 2 tickets up for grabs. Comment or share to be entered to win. Winner also gets a signed copy of The Age of Time. Going to be a high signal event in a beautiful part of the world ☘️

Number 1 release in Physics of Time. There is a massive pile of orange pills waiting for the audience with a general interest in time. 🕰️💊😁

The Age of Time is a book about civilization.
 How humans coordinate, create meaning, and carry it forward across generations. It explores consciousness and identity as consensus processes.
 How the mind assembles continuity, and how societies do the same at scale. It traces the rise of mechanical time as a solution to coordination.
 A system that allowed humanity to agree on sequence when we could no longer share place. It looks to architecture as memory. What past civilizations built, and what their creations reveal about how they thought in time. And it asks a deeper question:
What happens when our model of time changes? For centuries, time has shaped our perception of reality.
 We inherit it without question.
 But the system we use compresses experience into an ever-narrowing present. The signs are everywhere: we build for disposal, optimize for return, and treat time as an input cost.   Bitcoin introduces something different.
 A process that transforms perception through participation.
 A clock that does not accelerate.
 A system where order and value converge. It points toward a new civilizational relationship with time. www.theageoftime.com

Got my proof copy today. Been a long journey. AoT is a bitcoin book but the ideas that inspired it started 25 years ago reading Gödel Escher Bach in grad school. I’m thrilled to share them now, launch day is tomorrow. theageoftime.com
