"Our computers never stopped being general-purpose state machines which produce artificial symbols and sounds and complex emergent behaviors via state changes. Without proof-of-real protocols like Bitcoin, these state changes are materially inconsequential, trivial to reproduce, thermodynamically unsound, and carefully designed by software engineers to present the illusion of something real, but isnāt actually real."
- Jason Lowery, #SOFTWAR
Well as soon as we connect computers to external actuators they turn into a highly configurable timers. That is not bad
That's some 21st century Descartes shit right there. But how pragmatic is it?
Is it, and I'm just asking, akin to saying "we live in a simulation."
I mean, if we do, I still like pizza...
idk if I'm making a point.
The point is that Bitcoin can provide a cross-referenceable proof-of-real signal within cyberspace, making it more closely bound to physical reality.
That makes sense to me. I went straight to. " What is real?" I can't help it. I always do it...
