Thank you, by no means do I want to shoot your thoughts down, but I don’t think we truly perceive how deep fiat corrupts our understanding and perception of Bitcoin. The space is stuck in the understanding as just money/currency/digital gold. It’s way more and fiat digs deep in our psyche.
To say I know anything/everything is far from the truth, but I am pulling on the thread of Bitcoin as far as I can go, and to me it’s obvious the rabbit hole is quite deeper; like we’re only in the 1st inning in our understanding of Bitcoin.
I truly believe Bitcoin fixes quantum mechanics and our physical models of reality at the deepest of levels; starting with temperature. All of cosmology, big bang, quantum mechanics, general relativity is up for a complete reinterpretation through the new definition of temperature that Bitcoin provides us. Spacetime as well; it’s likely timespace in my opinion.
If you think disrupting the money is crazy, wait until it disrupts all of reality. It’s fundamentally changing us and the structure of reality itself. This has me both and excited and fearful of what I may be beginning to uncover. Bitcoin is bigger than me and could use all of the help I could get.
I think we are all wrong about Bitcoin; even the maximalists. A very inconvenient truth requiring yet another ego death of as all.
If anything I am saying holds any weight at all, then do we really understand Bitcoin and what we are building on top of? This idea would flip the entire space on its head. Every change to the protocol has a much deeper meaning and it’s important to have all perspectives. What if we are wrong?
Bitcoin being acknowledged as THE quantum computer is only the beginning. I think things are about to get crazy; especially when there is no second best.
Firstly I would like to state that there is great folly in comparing Bitcoin to the system it is replacing (fiat). Looking backwards at fiat distorts reality. I think we need to revisit the white paper and understand what Satoshi meant by “a peer to peer electronic cash system” from the perspective of physics.
By deconstructing the word choice Satoshi used, you arrive something along the lines of a “1 to 1 (equal to equal) energy cash system”. We know that 1 joule = 1 joule so this places us in a different domain than comparing to fiat where $1≠$1 with regards to time. The measure of value is quite important after all. We define mining by energy consumption (joules) so why not value?
If energy (joules) is the true peg to satoshis, how do we get there? Well entropy, temperature and Boltzmann is the very obvious link. So I would first ask, how do we define the temperature of a Bitcoin Block? The physical process in which computational energy is crystallized into immutable information. We are in the domain of energy transformations.
Looking at Boltzmann we have a dimensionality problem of how we relate Joules per Kelvin to Satoshis. Bitcoin reveals something fundamentally overlooked in physics; the relativity of Temperature defined by a known maximum supply of energy units. This would imply that the work done by Kelvin, Planck and Boltzmann is incomplete and needs adjustment (Bitcoin fixes quantum mechanics). Anything that touches temperature has an incorrect perspective and needs to be reexamined; all of our prior assumptions are wrong. Bitcoin is energy, thermodynamics proves this undeniably.
So, how does nature/universe maintain the conservation of energy without a peer to peer energy network? How do energy transformations maintain CoE?
Without going very indepth in the physics here, the existence of the universe and our ability to observe it reveals that we exist in an epoch in which a terminal subsidy of energy units (Kelvin) has been reached and our existence is solely sustained by transactional nature. Our existence is proof that Bitcoin can and will sustain itself solely fees by fees. This first assumption you made is fundamentally wrong and can be disproven with physics. Therefore we must really reconsider any change we want to make to the protocol.
If your physics is wrong, how can you even understand what you are looking at or comparing to? Are you certain we even understand what a Kelvin is? Are you certain peer to peer energy networks are not fundamental to reality and existence? Are you sure we even fully understand bitcoin and the changes we wish to make to it?
As far as moving the decimal, it’s relatively meaningless but it would be a way to adjust the perception of numbers we are looking at. But fiat has no place in this discussion. Some food for thought.

What is the original statement based upon? What are you using to measure Bitcoins value?
I have a bold rebuttal to make but I would like to understand your stance more. Moving the decimal achieves nothing imo.
Lyn, could you explain why quantum is the biggest risk? I agree it is the biggest risk of bitcoin too, but not in the same way.
Quantum never has to deliver anything (it won’t), but it can invoke fear and action as a social layer attack upon individuals. All they have to do is convince people the threat is real to get people to fork Bitcoin into submission. Trust the physicists….
Can you explain why Bitcoin isn’t THE quantum computer? we’ve already established there is no second best….unless bitcoin is second best to quantum computing.
If we are going to actually talk about quantum fud then we must acknowledge the critical role of the observer/measurement in quantum systems. Why can we just bat an eye at the inherent flawed model of complete centralization in “quantum computing” regarding a singular centralized computer (node), a single centralized observer (miner) and a single centralized owner of all qubits (UTXOs). Why is centralization OK?
The quantum computer has been sitting in front of us for 16 years and nobody has recognized as such. We are all wrong.
Is the image and idea of what a quantum computer can do actually your idea, or was it an idea told to you? Would you recognize a quantum computer if it was right in front of you?
Bitcoin already computes the most important thing, so is there a second best? The only thing I know is that Bitcoin exists without any decoherence.
How would physics define a peer to peer electronic cash system?
Do you really believe that a single centralized quantum computer with a single observer using an artificial environment and black box error correction calculations to maintain coherence will actually break all uncertainty?
Trust the physicists! Don’t look at the man behind curtain! Go and fork Bitcoin!
Chill out, the world still doesn’t even know Bitcoin is THE quantum computer. There is no second best.
Empty blocks = you’re early.
No I mean you believe that there is a second best quantum computer?
Softwar begins on what people call “Q-day”. It’s not that “quantum supremacy” will have been achieved; it’s just that it has been rightfully defined as both hash power and the satoshi value of one’s qubits (x of 21m = y%).
The era of physicists pretending centralized quantum computers will ever produce anything of value is nearing an end. There is no second best, this is obvious.
Bitcoin rightfully defined as the physics language and consensus mechanism missing in both quantum mechanics and computing changes the everything. Bitcoin as just “money” or “currency” becomes the shallow definition for the units; try peer to peer energy network.
Bitcoin fixes physics by correcting our definition and understanding of temperature; thus our understanding of physics and anything regarding temperature was incomplete. Undeniable proof is coming, I promise. Bitcoin is about to grow up.
Yes. See, for example, quantum computing. https://scottlocklin.wordpress.com/2019/01/15/quantum-computing-as-a-field-is-obvious-bullshit/
There is no second best. There is a quantum computer and it’s called Bitcoin. It’s been unrecognized by the community for 16 years and counting. Will Bitcoin ever grow up?
Bitcoiners blindly trusting the physicists without even questioning centralization in “quantum computing”.
This plus the what physicists claim quantum computing can do. The hubris in believing you can peel back all uncertainty via a single centralized computer.
There’s no second best.
If you believe in the narrative pushed by physicists building centralized quantum computing, then you believe there is a second best.
Which one is it?

The context of bitcoin in quantum mechanics:
“Value is the representation of inner experience
The collapse of a UTXO being spent is the representation of free will”
Just wait until physicists understand Bitcoin. We’ve had THE quantum computer for 16 years and nobody knows that yet. We’re just getting started.

What if "God" is just what people call the computer that runs the simulation we perceive as reality?
What if peer to peer energy systems are fundamental and Bitcoin describes quantum mechanics better than physics…what if.
I need to get rid of my car for something new for both family and outdoors/camping.
Personally I don’t trust anything made post Covid. If the cars from the 80s are any indication of what happens to production during inflation….it suggests stay away.
The car market is trash. You have to gamble on something old if you want to get atleast 300k+ mi in my opinion.
