I mean, that makes sense but -- isn't a lot of the Eurostack stuff specifically about more of the "infrastructure", and/or business software layer?

Like alternative to AWS, etc -- these things aren't really about protocols vs closed source, it's more of building data centers?

On the one hand, I want this to succeed because of the state we're in of the Quasi-Nationalization of American Tech...

On the other hand, this looks like exactly the kind of bureaucratic morass that keeps the EUs economy stagnant.

The very definition of slideware there.

We know the volume of the potential block and the volume of deterministic (mined) block, we know the mol number (supply of Satoshis at each block t). Entropy is quantized by a standardized PoW function + quantized difficulty. We have all of the pieces and the instantiation to demonstrate quantized time events with a provable arrow and direction.

There’s a tangent here I need to think through more regarding a physical key.

In terms of the timespace bitcoin defines, the private key is a quantized unit of space in which the utxo resides.

It is both the identity of the utxo (where in the curve) and the authority to spend/transform the state. Knowledge of the space grants authority. The space is also quantized and bounded by a finite supply.

This is the problem living somewhere cold :)🥶

The work that Bateson and Mead did as part of WWII and into the cold war along these lines is both interesting and under-reported. Benjamin Breen's book, from my perspective, holds back on direct associations and conclusions, but they are there. He even nudges into Harvard/Kaczynski... those folks were all related at dark corners. I know we are at 1000X, now.

I don’t know how to compete with this. Low key subversion I guess.
