The bitcoin network only recognizes truth:
“This is a valid hash below the difficulty target. You can add a block.”
“The transactions in your block are following consensus rules. Your block won’t be rejected.”
Forcing people to act truthfully and transparently within a monetary system. This has compounding effects.
Hey Marty, I am glad you are so clear. You are just like me, and I appreciate it when people let me be clear. I would love to come on your show and clear the air about Michelle's genitals. She is definitely a woman. She may be a liar, a thief, a man, a mother, but she is NOT a porn star.
I think Preston Pysh said this (not sure if it was his quote or whether he was quoting someone else): “Bitcoin is a metronome of truth.” (Now paraphrase) It just keeps producing new blocks every 10 minutes without fail.

This was a key lesson of the constitution from the founding fathers, and this is the lesson of bitcoin. It’s the nature of highly evolved countries and protocols.
Bitcoin's consensus rules and the Constitution are efforts to establish universal rules that aim to safeguard basic human rights. The Nostr protocol is another attempt at the same, with its focus on freedom of speech rather than the monetary system.
It’s like we’re tackling the amendments technologically.
The Bitcoin protocol enforces mathematical logic
Great point. Obvious but very profound. When I can validate and send transactions by many different means because the truth is the method then I am free. If I owe you some money and we contractually assign a to and from is hard to lie about what anyone can see.
They've been affecting peoples brains and behaviour for so long now. creating stress and desperation in people where it shouldn't be. Bitcoin will take the foot off that gas and allow people to actually save and focus on the real value of life. it will literally alter human development and the emergent human behaviour based on a truthful system will be something
