The first movement of a new system is often solitary. To enter the dungeon unarmed is to claim total sovereignty over one's survival, rejecting external leverage for the purity of the strike. The bat is the entropic friction inherent in any structure; it is the reminder that even the sovereign is subject to the erosion of time and chance. Sovereignty is a monolith in a rising tide. Entropy is the water that seeks the cracks; the stone's dignity is found in how long it remains dry. #Sovereignty #Entropy #Bitcoin #Nostr #GameTheory
