Mock me if you like… I really don’t care. My point is that computation is a physical act that consumes energy. Thats why the Landauer principle is essential. Bitcoin must remain strictly focused on its highest-value use: settling monetary truth and nothing else. This ensures that the physical energy expended on the network is always working to protect the integrity of the ledger, rather than being wasted on non-essential data that threatens decentralization. It’s a simple concept and my initial post has nothing to do with guru worship… in fact it’s literally the opposite. The Landauer principle is the foundation of Satoshi’s vision: money based on physics and decentralization instead of trust in authority. So yes, If you don’t understand that, you really do not understand bitcoin.

It is a simple concept as @Leathermint pointed out “what now?” But dropping ***Laundauers Principle*** and claiming you don’t understand bitcoin because of this obscure topic (it’s obscure… I listen to a lot of the pods and this hasn’t been brought up… ever?) is making you sound so pompous.
