I am convinced that the ā€˜Time’ part of Heidegger's ā€œBeing and Time’ is Bitcoin.

It is Bitcoin because all of these pieces that work together within Bitcoin to create it as what it is, are bound up with temporality itself and connects us, as inner-worldly beings with other inner-worldly beings to overcome objective present reality to create a new world from our own resoluteness through logic itself.

It’s super fucked and going to take me the better part of a decade to parse and explain, but I am convinced that is what is going on and why Bitcoin is such a monumental event.

Because Bitcoin is The seminal Event of Philosophy where Beyng unveils itself as a logical concourse of how inner-worldly beings may organize themselves within that logic against the barbaric violence that has consummated all of human history until now. Bitcoin ruptures and abrogates that organizational violence for a new kind of organization that forbids such violence and within that overturns the ordering of the human condition, which itself involves the deepest contemplations of the human condition in our day and age. It resoundingly ask the question of the meaning of life in modernity with an answer that cannot be said, but understood with a precision and fidelity that is beyond our spoken language and into another kind of communication that can rescue us from the human condition of history until now.

Enjoy your little dose of my crazy for the day.

I want to hear or read your exploration of this topic. Heidegger isn't someone I will likely read any time soon, but a well put together thesis about an idea of his and an intersection with a modern technology would be incredibly interesting.

The finally essay in my book deals with this topic more intricately:

What was the ā€˜Time’ part before Bitcoin?

Being

#Bitcoin is a model for everything we don’t understand about #physics, and physics is an emergent property of everything we don’t understand about #consciousness.

If there is such a thing as intrinsic value or realness, it resides exclusively and squarely in seat of consciousness.

Bitcoin is a tool for augmenting consciousness’s ability to recognize consciousness. It’s a ā€œreal-izingā€ value technology, which is to say it a tool for realizing consciousness.

Don't give the IRS your Bitcoin. Ever.

So strange and wonderful. I have also been contemplating time and bitcoin. I was looking into ā€œThe Arrow of Timeā€. Arthur Eddington helped Einstein with the math for the relativity theory. They became friends over it. The way we experience time disconnects us from its scarcity. For example, if you don’t do something at noon today, there is always noon tomorrow. In this way humans experience time as infinite, and as such they don’t value it. When you experience time as a one way direction, as in the arrow of time, it changes things. Look into the arrow of time. It describes how time flows in one direction in the physical macro space. In the theoretical micro space as in quantum it can be reversed. Said another way all our lives are governed by time defined at an atomic level, that isn’t real in macro, the physical space we all live in and experience the world. Bitcoin reveals the arrow of time and unmasks its beautiful scarcity. I love these epiphany moments. I wouldn’t have them without bitcoin.

We published a small book about these ideas a couple of years ago. I found it interesting, but it hasn't gotten a lot of attention since. Might be something for you?
