Bitcoin and LSD

I used to say that LSD was mankind’s greatest discovery, but Satoshi Nakamoto challenged that view with the discovery of Bitcoin. Those who have seen their egos dissolve on an LSD trip will understand. I can’t recommend taking LSD for everyone, because it requires excellent set and setting to be enjoyable, but if you are confident about taking LSD it is akin to visiting God. Mnemonic abilities can augment greatly, being able to manipulate and store thousands of variables at a time, often visually. Synesthesia can occur, which is a blending of senses so that a color can be experienced as a smell or so that music can be seen as well as heard. A rediscovery of senses gives the user the understanding that all of cognition is in fact perception. If neurons are not connected to the environment, they are interconnected and are perceiving each other.

Bitcoin is similar to LSD because when you experience the effect it has, your perspective changes irreversibly. Bitcoin is also similar to LSD because the more intelligent the user, the more profound the experience. In this sense its potential for either is enormous but extremely limited at an individual level depending on existing mental skills. Bitcoin is a paradigm shift from one economic model to another, how profound this model really is still needs to be discovered through its use and further study. LSD is a paradigm shift from one state of consciousness to another, this too needs to be studied more to understand it better. Bitcoin is freedom tech, just like LSD. LSD allows you to change your mind so that you can think better, more freely, more autonomously. Bitcoin allows the user to become sovereign expressed in value and the exchange of value, LSD allows the user to become sovereign in thought. I’ve heard many Bitcoiners say that they’ve experienced undergoing a spiritual journey after learning about Bitcoin, as is well documented by users of LSD. LSD is the most potent psychotropic substance known to man, three orders of magnitude more potent than the next in line. Bitcoin doesn’t even have weight, so it is infinitely more potent than cash.

Learn about LSD and psilocybin before you take them. How To Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan is a good place to start. Another great resource is The My Problem Child by Albert Hofmann which describes the origin story of LSD. Hofmann was working in a lab for a pharmaceutical company in Switzerland and discovered LSD while he was trying to find something else, he accidentally dosed himself with an enormous amount of LSD in the lab and lost his mind on the way home. Imagine being interested in it after that happened to you. I have great respect for Hofmann and I am eternally grateful for his discovery, just as I am eternally grateful for Satoshi Nakamoto’s discovery of Bitcoin.

As a physician ( #[0] ) I can appreciate the great power of medicine to transform our health and state of mind. While we don’t condone illicit substances on NR we are fascinated by this read by #[1] who draws parallels between the transformative experiences of discovering Bitcoin and LSD. Add Nostr to that list of major discoveries or inventions.

We hope so. You’re the spark that started this conversation 🤙

#[22] Nostr.band relay experimenting with way to limit global feed to your friends (people you follow) and friends of friends.

#[23]

One of the most Big 🧠 brain conversations ever to happen on nostr between #[24], #[25] and #[26] as they debate if clients should select relays for users and if users should write to 2-3 relays or write to all their relays. All to help improve the nostr network.

#[27]

⚡nostr Business⚡

—--------------------------

#[28] shares his opinion that the Ordinals conversation is FUD from shitcoiners to get plebs to sell #bitcoin. Ordinals would only be a problem if miners colluded, countermeasures by users and honest miners would combat this.

#[30]

#[31] Nostr Plebs suspends accounts due to impersonation. Today suspends first account impersonating a company after being contacted by the actual company. Company inquired how to setup NIP-05 ID on their own domain.
