Without diving too deep into the weeds, a quantized timespace model reframes the question entirely. Space isn’t continuous, it’s emergent from time and memory. Time cannot exist without memory. Bitcoin reveals this: blocks aren’t located somewhere, they’re resolved when. Time is the distance. And we always live in the latest confirmation (the present).

Now ask yourself:

Does consciousness follow the longest chain of work?

Because it seems self-evident that life, earth, and now Bitcoin all operate on that exact principle. Each represents the crystallization of energy into structure, novelty, and memory; anchored by irreversibility.

Bitcoin is defined by the longest chain of work and becomes incoherent without it. And if Bitcoin truly reflects the quantum nature of reality as I argue, then the universe itself runs on the same consensus.

The longest chain of work explicitly answers the Fermi paradox.

Which brings us to quantum supremacy. To believe in a closed, centralized quantum lab solving reality, while also believing in Bitcoin (the only open system that measures quantum uncertainty into irreversible truth) is a philosophical and thermodynamic double-spend.

Bitcoin is not simulated quantum. It is actual quantum: measured, resolved, and written to time.
