#Bitcoin is making waves
If things seemed to slow down on Nostr recently, that's just because we were in the middle of a lull. The next wave is building, thanks to predicable moves from Nostr's biggest marketer.

Honestly... I have enjoyed X as free user... but now it's all about Nostr.
Bitcoin is rugging the federal reserve.

Indeed... imagine a world where everyone woke up one day, and decided to stop valuing USD and start valuing hard money. Government would be forced to print massive amounts of USD as people exit the system and banks begin to collapse... it would be really cool.
Once companies realize using the Bitcoin network can enable them to achieve total systemic security for their computer network, some of them will choose to utilize it for this purpose. Militaries will be first to utilize the network in this way.
Goodnight #Nostr

#Bitcoin does not demonitize warfare.. Bitcoin is literally a new form of warfare and the most efficient physical power projection technology ever invented.
#Bitcoin #Proofofwork
Organisms in nature project physical power (watts) to signal ownership of resources.
How the ruling class uses real power to reify abstract power.
Of*.... kek
#Bitcoin is a weapons system that ushers in a paradigm golf mutually assured preservation.
#Bitcoin fulfills both Henry Ford's idea of monetizing energy as well as Nikola Tesla's prediction that warfare would escalate to human out of the loop energy battles between "intelligent" machines.
Virtually all software these days represent the formation of abstract power hierarchies. These computer generated abstract power hierarchies are the largest in history. As people rely more and more on their computers for so many different aspects of their lives, this gives the people at the apex of these abstract power hierarchies more control over people than at any other time in history, Pharaoh god-kings would blush at this level of abstract power over people's lives.
So what's the solution to this problem? Well, if software is computer generated abstract power, we are going to need computer generated physical power if we want to dismantle, decentralize, and physically constrain people who would otherwise exploit and abuse their privileged control authority over people's software.
Satoshi understood these dynamics at a very fundamental, first principles level. Enter Bitcoin, a decentralized permissionless protocol that converts large amounts of physical power into machine readable bits of information. Computer generated physical power. Satoshis protocol is creating the largest physical-power-based hierarchy humanity has ever witnessed.
Physical power is zero-trust, permissionless, and egalitarian.
Abstract power is trust-based, permission-based, and inegalitarian.
In theory, it should be possible to use the Bitcoin protocol and it's physically costly machine readable bits of information to create a kind of electro-cyber defense dome for any given computer network in order to increase the cost of attacking or exploiting other networks by imposing a severe physically prohibitive cost on would be attackers the same way there is a severe physically prohibitive cost on attacking the Bitcoin network itself.
Free software is a wonderful idea, but nothing is stopping a bad actor who understands how to exploit your softwares logical constraints from doing so. To truly achieve freedom in cyberspace we need a way to impose a severe physical constraint on attackers through cyberspace itself. This is what Satoshi has gifted humanity with.
Understanding the physically costly bits of information secured by Nakamoto's protocol as discrete sections of surface area on a geometric Gabriel's Horn.
