I think the reason is that Bitcoin is transcending physics and math, is obviously bigger than oneself, and in a similar "realness" space as some of the entities religion talks about, while at the same time being "easy" to understand for the rational/scientific mind.

It is a doorway to the transcendental.

“Wait, bitcoin is what??”

Bitcoin helps clarify the signals within the noise. Bitcoin is making signals great again.

Shitcoins lead people further into nihilism.

HAHAHAHA

Hmmm. Yes. Thinking about it gives me the same feeling, as astronomy. A certain vastness.

Bitcoin managed to introduce the “arrow of time” into the cyberspace realm, something which we need as conscious beings of action, - the notion of the future - to plan, predict and ascribe anything of value within this space. It’s this ‘future’ along with its incontrovertible past that now makes this space ‘real’.

Absolutely. This essay was a mindbender for me.

An iconic piece of writing I’ll be talking to my grandkids about.
