Nash’s later writings (“Ideal Money”), Nash proposed the idea of:
“A non-political money, invariant in its measure of value, resistant to manipulation.”
A prophecy of Bitcoin?
He believed that economic cooperation required a stable invariant standard of value, not subject to political inflation or arbitrary scaling, exactly the invariance Bitcoin enforces through:
•Fixed supply (21M BTC cap),
•Algorithmic issuance,
•Open consensus validation.
Bitcoin, in that sense, realizes Nash’s invariant cooperative ideal in digital form, a “Nash Equilibrium for Money.”
