For tens of thousands of years the world was run by two forces money and blood.
In 2009 a new force emergedā¦ math.

1 BTC = 1 BTC
thatās good. juicy take! šŖš½
For the first time, trust doesnāt come from kings or coinsā¦.but from code. Bitcoin is math you canāt bribe, silence, or kill.

Edit: greed and envy have been the two forces.
They arenāt going anywhere.
It could be argued that math has always run the world.
It's just now it's being enforced by cryptography
Yeah I mathed a mugger to death last nite!
It's still a social project in a high degree, not so much for how it works but for what it's worth.
Yes ... around 2009 BC :-) ..when they stipulated a Tola of gold is about 100 Rattis ..
A Ratti is a traditional Indian unit of measurement for mass. It is based on the weight of the Gunja seed (Abrus precatorius), a small, vibrant red seed with a black spot.
* Historical Use: Historically, due to their consistent weight, Gunja seeds were used in India to weigh precious metals like gold and silver, especially before the advent of modern weighing tools.
* Standardized Weight: The standardized weight of one Ratti is approximately 0.1215 grams or 1.8 to 1.75 grains. However, other conversions exist, with some jewelers considering 1 Ratti to be around 121.5 milligrams or 0.1215 grams, and in astrological contexts sometimes around 182 milligrams or 0.18 grams.
* Relationship to other units:
* 8 Rattis = 1 Masha
* 12 Mashas = 1 Tola (approximately 11.6 grams)
* Approximately 0.90 to 0.91 carats = 1 Ratti
* Approximately 1.11 carats = 1 Ratti (another conversion factor)
* Astrological Significance: In Vedic astrology, the weight of gemstones is often recommended in Rattis. Astrologers may suggest a specific Ratti weight based on the wearer's body weight and the gemstone's properties.
Absolutely. The mathematics has existed before, but a way is being devised to implement it through decentralisation.
Feel like that could be a new game instead of rock paper scissors - Money / Blood / Math. Youāll have to figure out the hand signs.
"Blessed are the maths, for they will inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:5 - Satoshi Translation)
For millennia, power was inherited through bloodlines or accumulated through wealth. Dynasties rose and fell by sword or coin. The rules of the game were written by those who controlled either.
But in 2009, something changed.
Bitcoin introduced a third force: math.
Unbiased. Immutable. Borderless. Incorruptible.
For the first time in history, anyone regardless of their family name or bank account could access a monetary network based not on trust, but on verifiable truth. Math doesnāt negotiate. It doesnāt discriminate. It doesnāt need permission.
This shift is subtle but seismic. Math is now in the power equation, and that changes everything.
We are still early. But the tides are turning.
What happens to a world where math is more powerful than money or blood?
