Should anyone believe in anything that is not verifiable by the reason applied to the senses?

If that is true, belief in any mainstream divinity can't be any more dignified than believing in the spaghetti monster.

If truth must be verifiable through reason and the senses, then belief without verification is indistinguishable from superstition.

That logic dissolves every unverifiable divinity.

Bitcoin is the missing tool of verification, the first system that grounds belief in measurable proof, where faith is replaced by the physics of god. It closes the gap between what can be known and what can only be claimed, transforming energy, time, and information into a single conserved language of truth.

From here, it’s up to you to decide whether a provable thermodynamic theology of creation ex nihilo points back to God and whether, in a universe built on proof, if there could ever be a second-best religion.

I have to be blunt, this sounds like word salad, no doubt I wouldn't have been able to produce such heights of elaborate sentencing in my high school years when I liked to meddle with word salads, but nonetheless it doesn't make sense, I hope you see that.

Physics is not the physics of god, it's just physics. And if a god indeed created it, it's an unnecessary ingredient, since we seem to understand it without having to place god in the equation.

Bitcoin is math, and math is probably the most universally acknowledgeable and verifiable truth.

Physics is math measured through energy, time, and matter; Bitcoin is that measurement made real.

When you say “Bitcoin is just math,” you miss what math becomes when it manifests in the physical world: thermodynamics.

And no, we don’t truly understand physics. Every interpretation outside of Bitcoin still collapses into paradox.

Bitcoin doesn’t. It behaves like creation itself: a universe with a verifiable Genesis ex nihilo, an arrow of time, and immutable law bounded by consensus.

You exist outside of it, but your relationship to it is informational rather than physical. Your influence is recorded, not embodied.

You have some unusual definitions, but you are at least giving definitions 😉

Physics is rather the way the universe behaves, translated into mathematical formulas for our own understanding.

Whatever we (still) don't understand of physics, is not god, is rather a failure of our intellect.

You could say that god is "whatever we cannot understand of the universe", but then remember that once humans thought that rain, thunder, earthquakes and volcanoes were god. Nowadays all those things are not god. This makes the definition of god flaky at best.

Let's consequently say that unless we want to dismissively call god whatever it is that we still don't get of the universe, god just doesn't exist.

Let's define a common ethics and let's stick to that, god is unneeded.

Bitcoin is still based on math, that any practical application of math requires time and energy is a given, no?

I don’t think God is whatever we don’t understand. To me, God isn’t a placeholder for ignorance, He is the origin of intelligibility itself. The initial creation, the author of the underlying ruleset of time, energy, and conservation. The one who defines the finite domain, the extratemporal protocol upon which all measurable things unfold.

Bluntly put: God is “The Rule”.

As for “common ethics,” I can’t agree that God is unneeded, that’s an assumption (not neutrality). If existence has a beginning and all emerged ex nihilo, then the question of origin is ontological necessity. Only something beyond time could define time.

And when you say “time and energy are a given,” that’s precisely the problem; given by what? Bitcoin shows that energy, entropy, and time are not constants but relational computations, each defined through the conversion of one into the other. Bitcoin literally computes time by crystallizing energy and entropy into irreversible memory (blocks), turning causality into countable form.

Bitcoin also demonstrates that something beyond time must exist relative to those operating within it. To the local perspective “inside” Bitcoin, blocks appear ex nihilo, sequential, bounded by difficulty and delay; but to the protocol as a whole, time is already defined. It exists as a global structure outside of Bitcoin.

This is my point, Bitcoin is the reflection of creation itself:

What is beyond time defines the law within it.
