GM, the quantum gravity paradox only exists under the false axiom that time is continuous.

Bitcoin is the answer.

Not verifying the unproven assumption that continuous time is fundamental.

Physics is a derivative of time. Time is more foundational.

Who cares what they think. The structure of time (continuous or quantized) results in a binary outcome for physics. They have bet the house assuming continuous time; yet bitcoin openly proves the later every ~10 minutes.

“What I do know, is that there is no experiment, that can ever be devised, that will prove the existence of time.”

You sure about that? Tick Tock, Next Block.

GM, the satoshi is actually the bit-coin, or value-bit.

A satoshi is 1 singular bit of value.

My brain is melting thinking about Bitcoin’s key space. A quantized and bounded unit of space instantiated over every block height. Satoshi created the space by using Secp256k1.

The vast majority of this space will never see a single utxo or bit of value. A single dimension is actually a volume in regards to bitcoins thermodynamics as memory-time-value is placed in this bounded key space, sequentially in the timechain.

I don’t really see how this is Platonic.

I’m describing the concrete structure Bitcoin enforces: a finite state space, discrete time, and spend authority defined purely by positional knowledge within that space.

The language sounds philosophical because I’m talking about what the system is, not just how it’s implemented.

I agree with this sentiment a lot, but if we apply the bounded ledger (utxo model of time) to physics our understanding of constants changes too.

Bitcoin has multiple constants, value (BTC, sats), block size (mb), number of private keys, 1 block of time. Bitcoin has a speed of information/memory. What is light?

If we apply some bounded logic to something like temperature, Planck

Temp becomes the defacto bounded supply of measurable Kelvin units in the system, Boltzmann’s constant loses its dimensionality of Kelvin as it no longer remains bounded to the domain of Kelvin (a measurements are supply relative) and Boltzmann’s constant becomes Planck Energy.

Hmmmmmm 🤔 we now have a constant of entropy that applies to any bounded domain (Bitcoin)

Lol Bitcoin is a 4 dimensional object.

The cat must be dead or alive, just as your UTXOs must be spent or unspent.

Stop believing in a reality that can double spent 👀

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.

Entropy preserved through the conservation of energy. The block event is the isomorphism from Kelvin to Satoshis. It’s a discrete computation.

But in short, yes.

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.

Is a private key quantized identity or quantized authority?

Or is it both? Does English have a word for this?

A new year block has been mined. Happy New Year! Onward

Time-space-bits

If Bitcoin is proof that time is quantized and discrete as Wolfram is also suggesting, then we have our answer.

But then what is Bitcoin?

Tick tock, next block.

At this point it just feels like every single market is waiting for “the headline” to make the big move.

All metals are pointing towards some hyperinflation event.

Easy to swap? What distribution did you go with?
