This post continues my review of the Saylor Series. For Part 2, follow the link at the bottom of this post.
Yesterday, I listed insights that were based on nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5mโs exploration with nostr:npub15vzuezfxscdamew8rwakl5u5hdxw5mh47huxgq4jf879e6cvugsqjck4um of both accidents and careful iterations that led to humanityโs greatest achievements and worst regressions.
In this review, I will cover technological evolution throughout history, as innovations became "harder, smarter, faster, and stronger", and led us to the hardest, smartest, fastest, and strongest one of all: #Bitcoin.

Throughout history, entities optimizing for defensive attributes like ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ช๐ญ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ and ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ง๐ณ๐ข๐จ๐ช๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐บ have prevailed by being able to withstand or โabsorbโ attacks from rivals. Focusing on survivability allows one to outlast opponents, eventually leading to complete domination. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป.

Controlling low-friction domains like oceans and skies confers asymmetric strategic advantage over those who only control high-friction regions of land.

Large-scale conflict tends to open minds to rapid change. The imperative to survive drives accelerated technological adoption forward.

Thatโs a wrap on Part 3!
Tomorrow in Part 4, weโll discuss why Bitcoin is the first true digital monetary system in history, and also the highest form of energy that humans can channel.
