It's arguable that the most innovative development in finance over the last 20 years before Bitcoin was what Y Combinator popularized with their SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) Note.

The SAFE note took the place of the convertible notes because convertible notes had a standard maturity date of two years and many companies two years in were still trying to pivot or figure out product market fit when the money was due to be paid back or to be converted into equity. This created adversarial relationships with early stage investors before any momentum was gained. The SAFE note is a simple standardized, free 5 page document with only two fields; a valuation cap and a discount rate. Of which only one of those converts at a qualified financing event. And not any time before.

As great as this is, it doesn't work for Bitcoin forward companies that denominate their business in Bitcoin, accept Bitcoin and don't plan on entering fiat capital markets ever again. Because of that, Bitcoin companies that want to raise Bitcoin need something different. Our proposal is to move back to something similar to the convertible note if you are a company that is Bitcoin only ie zero ties back into fiat systems but want to raise Bitcoin from Bitcoin only investors.

Our opinion is that the only risk reward for investing Bitcoin into a company is that the company has to make an effort to return more Bitcoin to the investors from the stream of Bitcoin payments.

If 1 Bitcoin is 1 Bitcoin and an investor invests that into a company, we believe it's reasonable to expect more than 1 Bitcoin back. We also believe that for best in class Bitcoin companies that only take Bitcoin, the World will soon realize they have to pay these companies in Bitcoin or they won't have access to the best products and services.

*Please note this idea and document are only in draft mode and meant to encourage the debate around this topic that we believe is important for the circular economy companies that may need to raise money to scale. We'd like to collaborate with NOSTR to produce something that is as innovative and helpful to both founder and investor as the SAFE note is. Critical feedback here is the most helpful and the most welcomed.

Why I Cook with Ghee by nostr:npub1n8805ezmqzqhxuernt4mjmfdrxgzgjv5uhjk24nvstqyhrwxtd2qj9teq3

First, WFT is Ghee?

Ghee is just clarified butter. You remove the water and milk solids, and you’re left with pure butterfat. The taste is richer and more refined without being sweet or salty.

Making it is simple, just melt unsalted butter over low heat, skim the foam, and simmer until the milk solids turn golden, then, strain it.

The main reason I switched to ghee for cooking is the smoke point and oxidation profile. Ghee handles heat way better than butter olive or avocado oil. It’s more stable, which means it’s way healthier when you’re cooking with it.

I still like butter for things like bread or finishing a steak, but if you’re cooking with high heat, go with the fat that’s built for it.

Bonus, when you heat ghee in a pan, it smells almost exactly like Annie’s Mac and Cheese. I grew up crushing that stuff. It’s hard to explain until you try it, but you’ll know what I mean.

One underrated reason to keep talking about Bitcoin is that you never know when you’ll be the bridge that aligns two overlapping worlds. This is especially true in local communities, where skeptics can transform into advocates.

Picture two circles (local service providers and Bitcoin believers) becoming concentric through trust. When teachers, nurses, cops, firefighters, and entrepreneurs hear real-world confidence from people they know, it shifts their view of a Bitcoin standard from abstract to attainable.

These essential workers spent years reading people, often in life-or-death stakes, honing a razor-sharp filter for signal versus noise. They don’t have time to deep-dive into Bitcoin white papers, but they can spot authenticity a mile away. That’s where you come in. Your reputation is the skin in the game they need to see.

Below is a mind-bending Guest Post by nostr:npub1ltt9gry09lf2z6396rvzmk2a8wkh3yx5xhgkjzzg5znh62yr53rs0hk97y

**Protected: Does Bitcoin Break The Simulation?**

After thinking deeply about physics, reality, simulation theory, and proof-of-work for a long time, I came to some insights that sound wild, but quite plausible. While many others have already written about simulation theory, I have something new to add: the interaction with Bitcoin and ***the distinct possibility that Bitcoin destroys The Simulation.***

**Are We In A Simulation?**

I’ve accumulated many arguments suggesting we’re in a simulation – and one pesky argument against it. Here are some from the “for” side:

**1. Bostrom (“Game Power”)**

There has been a difficult-to-read short paper published on this (Bostrom, 2003), but Elon Musk has been the one to bring it to popular attention recently. Slight paraphrasing him:

A dense but influential paper on this was published by Bostrom (Bostrom, 2003), but Elon Musk brought it into the spotlight. To paraphrase him:

*“If you assume any rate of improvement over time – 1%, 0.1% – just extend the timeframe, and games will eventually be indistinguishable from reality. Either that happens, or civilisation ends. One of those two outcomes. Therefore, we are most likely in a simulation.”* —Elon Musk, Joe Rogan Experience, episode 1169

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQi2KC6jKjg

Musk extrapolates that if civilisation isn’t destined to destroy itself, then given enough time, there should be billions of simulations indistinguishable from reality because simulations continuously get better. It’s a very compelling argument, but there is a critical flaw which I’ll come to later.

**2. Quantum Mechanics is Too Weird**

**Copenhagen Interpretation:**

The more we learn about reality, the stranger it appears – almost to the point of being unbelievable. At the subatomic level, particles and light are described by a wave function, which represents a probability distribution over all possible states.

This wave function evolves smoothly over time. However, when a measurement is made, the wave function appears to “collapse” to a single outcome.

For example, a particle might exist in a superposition of being in multiple places at once, but upon measurement, it is found in only one location.

So the key idea is: reality is undefined until measured, and quantum mechanics only predicts probabilities of outcomes, not underlying reality itself.

**Competing interpretations:**

I personally don’t know a lot about the mathematics of quantum physics, but there are competing explanations about the nature of what is observed. For completeness, I give you a list that is safe to skip over:

**1. Many-Worlds Interpretation (Everett)**

- No collapse, and all outcomes happen, but in different branches of the universe.

- Reality is the full multiverse of wavefunctions.

**2. de Broglie–Bohm Theory (Pilot-Wave)**

- Particles always have definite positions.

- The wavefunction is real and guides them (like a hidden GPS).

**3. Objective Collapse Theories**

- Collapse is a real, physical process, not just from observation.

**4. Quantum Bayesianism (QBism)**

- The wavefunction isn’t reality — it’s a tool for *personal belief* about outcomes.

**5. Relational Quantum Mechanics**

- Reality is relative: properties exist only *in relation to an observer.*

- No absolute state of the system.

**Explanation of WHY – The Simulation**

The simulation comes into this when we ask, “Why should it be this way?”.

If you were designing a computer simulation of the universe, would you need to accurately calculate every position of every subatomic particle in every star in every galaxy for the total of the universe? Why would you when you can create a probability function and save your computer’s computation power? Especially if no one is looking. Why not do that for all subatomic particles until someone makes a measurement and “checks”?

Another way to think of it, if you have ever played exploration games, a map of the game world exists, but you only have lit up the areas you have explored. The rest of the map is dark. It’s there, but no calculations, and no graphics rendering until you need to look. The universe is behaving like this.

**3. Fermi Paradox**

We’ve found no conclusive evidence of aliens. Why? With an estimated 10²⁴ stars (that’s 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000), and countless planets in “Goldilocks zones,” life should be common – carbon based or not.

One explanation: the universe isn’t actually as vast as it appears, and the Simulation may impose limits that prevent us from ever verifying its scale.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNhhvQGsMEc

**4. Limits in Physics**

The speed of light is limited to 300,000,000 m/s. So is the speed of INFORMATION travel. Maybe this is some physical computer cycle limit?

404 Error: no more information can be processed

When pushing the limits of the speed of information transfer, time gets dilated. Maybe this is a way for the simulation’s computer to handle its limitations?

**5. Every Variable is Too Perfect**

I admit I have not studied the math, and can’t check, but apparently every variable about reality is astronomically precisely perfect such that even if the strength of gravity were different by one in 10 to the power of 50 or something ridiculous, then existence wouldn’t be possible.

Some argue this proves our reality was designed by God. Others argue that many possibilities “existed” and never came to deliver conscious thought. We were just selected out to notice the only combination that can produce us.

Another possibility is that we have a creator who’s the simulation master – Our creator. But not necessarily “God”, who would be the creator of base reality. Whether that makes a difference to the simulation argument doesn’t matter, but it is a subset of religious argument.

Some might call God whoever it was that created us, simulation creator or not, and others would prefer to reserve that title for the creator of all reality.

**6. Crazy Conspiracies**

There are a lot of crazy conspiracies. I would like to call to your attention the Flat Earth theory. It sounds completely bonkers. So many people would have to be trying to fool you for no apparent reason that the Earth is flat, all in on it together. And so much of our understanding and accumulated knowledge of the sciences needs to be reworked to make Flat Earth work.

Then comes along one measurement across an icy lake, with laser precision showing no Earth curvature. Hmm. Who’s prepared to throw everything they think they know about reality over some guy’s potential hoax YouTube video?

But if that, and other similar demonstrations, were real – how to explain it?

Well, if we’re in a simulation, almost anything is possible, even crazy conspiracy theories. Even dinosaurs being implanted into the Earth’s crust to “trick us” could be a thing. It’s not hard for a simulation creator to do that.

These theories only sound ridiculous if we assume reality was normal.

**Summary of Arguments and One Main Counterargument**

Argument 1 is the strongest case for Simulation Theory – it can stand on its own. Argument 2 is also compelling, but not as decisive.

I only need to poke a hole in argument 1 to put a flaw in Elon Musk’s question, “Games are getting better, allowing billions of simulations (given enough time), then the chance we are not in a simulation is 1 in billions. Where is the flaw in the logic?”

My response – Why assume there is enough energy to sustain billions of worlds “nesting” each other?

There is no evidence that our reality has limitless quantities of energy to create a computer simulation, and for the beings inside our created simulation to create their own simulation – using our energy! That can’t cascade indefinitely if energy is limited.

But if energy is limited, it explains why it appears energy is being conserved (argument #2 for Simulation Theory). While the apparent need for energy conservation exists, it still undermines Elon Musk’s specific reasoning.

**Bitcoin Might Break The Simulation**

Let’s assume that energy is being conserved by the Simulation “computer”. This might be by not calculating the positions of every single atom in all the stars of all the galaxies throughout the entire universe, but instead averaging it out with wave functions, and presenting a blob of light to our eyes if we look. The nature of our reality seems to be behaving this way, as discussed.

Now, consider the enormous amounts of energy Bitcoin consumes, and the increases that will be happening in the future. This energy expended by miners hashing is also energy expended by the simulation computer.

But the computations of hashing cannot be “fudged” the way the computer might be fudging the computations of atom positions in the star, Betelgeuse. Calculations for stars might be minuscule compared to the sheer volume of verifiable activity happening on Earth, where most precise observations are happening.

Why can’t Bitcoin mining energy be “fudged”? PROOF of work. The work done is provably expended. Why is it provable? You have to understand a bit about how mining works. I explain in detail here, but briefly, hashes are produced with unpredictable results, each attempt at winning the block resulting in a completely new and random (but deterministic) hash. It’s not true randomness, because it’s a reproducible function, but a priori, it appears random and can not be predicted. So the work to find an eligible hash is done by trial and error, and cannot be guessed. So when winning hashes (currently with 19 leading zeros, astronomically improbable by chance) happen every 10 minutes, you know work is actually being done to find those hashes.

What if this work, which can’t be dodged, is draining energy from the simulation computer? What would happen? As the machine begins to fail, what might we see? Perhaps all the NPCs (non-player characters, ie not real people but simulated) in the world will start behaving more and more the same (to conserve energy), or maybe many NPCs might be killed off? Do I have to remind you of the insanity we saw during COVID? During this time, after observing collective human behaviour, I began wondering if these were real people.

One argument against this idea is that the Simulation computer might actually be able to paint any hash it wants at will, without doing manual trial and error hashes. No one can know either way, but it’s interesting to speculate.

It's easy to think you're getting off the fiat hamster wheel to steady ground, but really you're getting off the hamster wheel and stepping onto one of those moving sidewalks.

From there, walk, run or stay put and you'll keep moving forward

Bitcoin can be a source of growth in addition to more product

Bitcoin is up 30% in the last 30 days.

Great! For consumers saving in it.

Meanwhile, business owners just watched their hard work sitting in inventory lose 30% of its value.

Reinvesting in yourself isn't wrong, but most businesses get stuck on the hamster wheel. Profits go back into product. Product sits, waiting to move, just to fund the next batch.

This strategy locks them in the fiat lie: 'If you're not growing, you're dying.'

Infinite growth is impossible in a finite system.

The system is not built for stability. It punishes anything built to last. Bitcoin breaks that cycle. You don’t have to chase endless growth anymore. You can build something that will outlive you.

Want to create a business that lasts?

You need to opt out of this mindset.

Refocus on why you exist.

Businesses exist to make profit, but most are measuring that profit incorrectly. More sales are nice, but what did you gain? Growing your bitcoin stack is the proper measuring stick.

Start small. Even putting 1% of your profits into Bitcoin grounds your business. It slows the hamster wheel. One day you will be able to get off that wheel for good. One day the ground won't move out from under you.

You don't think people really save in fiat?

Take the Scenic Route

The way you're putting it makes it sound like holding money that's going to be worth less in the future is the extra step you're taking.

What's the point of doing that?

I think you know what the full extent of it is, but you can just dip your toes in and easy yourself forward.
