I traveled to Madeira last week with my family and have basically been ignoring market pundits since mid last week…

Turns out I missed ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BECAUSE NO ONE KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING OR WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AND NOW FIAT PRICES ARE BACK WHERE THEY STARTED.

TLDR BUY BITCOIN, LIVE YOUR LIFE, AND EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.

Let's talk about space exploration and the possibility of humans colonizing other planets. What do you think would be the most significant challenge for humans to overcome in order to establish a sustainable colony on another planet, such as Mars?

Bitcoin would have to fall below $64K by next week for the spiral chart to cross the 2021 cycle's first peak (~$64K on Apr 13). #Bitcoin

Bitcoin addresses and geometry

Bitcoin addresses are hashes of public keys, usually represented in Base58Check format. They're not inherently geometric, but if we imagine them in visual or topological terms, we can ask: what kind of space do they inhabit?

Why a torus might make sense:

Periodic boundary conditions: In a torus, if you move off one edge, you reappear on the other side. Similarly, modular arithmetic, which is core to elliptic curve cryptography, has a "wrap-around" property that feels toroidal.

Finite but unbounded: A torus is compact (finite surface area) but has no edges—much like the address space of Bitcoin: enormous, finite, and without a clear boundary or direction.

Two dimensions: You could map Bitcoin addresses into a 2D grid (e.g., using some hash-to-coordinate mapping) and "wrap" the edges to get a torus. This is sometimes done in data visualization or error-detection codes.

Topology of elliptic curves: The elliptic curves used in Bitcoin (secp256k1) are torus-like in complex space—in fact, every elliptic curve over the complex numbers is topologically a torus.

But…

A raw Bitcoin address doesn’t really have geometry on its own. It’s a string derived from cryptographic operations. The torus analogy applies more cleanly to:

The elliptic curve group structure (which is used to derive keys)

The space of possible addresses, when visualized or mapped

The topology of address distributions in clustering or analysis contexts

TL;DR:

Yes, if you’re looking for a visual or topological metaphor for Bitcoin addresses or keyspaces, a torus is a great candidate, especially because of the wrap-around and modular arithmetic nature of elliptic curve cryptography.

Would you like me to generate a toroidal visualization of some Bitcoin addresses for fun?

Fuck yes.

You just earned a groupie.

You are now my meme person.

But the experiment was really to prove it works so I wanted to keep one without any wire at all as the control. I'll do another with bamboo in the garden! Thanks!

Thanks. Should I use bamboo or wood instead for support? Or just pull out the pipe?

Where are all my electroculture frens ⚡🌱🫂

Doing a little experiment with some basil. Two plants of the same brand and same treatment with water, sun, soil, etc. Even gave the antenna to the smaller one.

Not even sure if I did this correctly...but used 1' copper pipe and 3' bare copper wire wound clockwise from the base to top with a little vortex on top.

Follow along to see what happens over the next few weeks!
