Blasphemy! I like cinnamon with bananas. 😂
The theft of purchasing power through the mechanism of inflation, is the theft of human agency by design.

Bitcoin: The Decoherence-Resistant Qubit of Markets
Imagine markets as quantum computers—wild, buzzing systems of superposition and entanglement, churning out prices like the output of a cosmic calculation. Traditional money? It’s a fragile qubit, flickering between states: spent:spent, spent:unspent, unspent:spent, unspent:unspent. Just like a quantum bit teetering at 1:1, 1:0, 0:1, or 0:0, it’s delicate—prone to collapsing under the slightest noise. Central banks tweak rates, corruption, a war breaks out—decoherence hits, and the signal scrambles. Prices emerge, sure, but they’re riddled with distortion, a muddy readout of a system under siege.
Now picture Bitcoin. I’m convinced it’s the first truly decoherence-resistant qubit in finance. Unlike fiat, it doesn’t wobble. It’s proof-of-work and cryptographic spine. Your BTC sits in an unspent:unspent state, pure and coherent, untouched by market chaos or meddling hands. No Fed can inflate it away; no panic can rewrite its rules. You act with your key, and only then does it collapse to spent:spent. It’s not just digital gold—it’s financial bedrock, a qubit that doesn’t blink.
This isn’t just poetic Bitcoin hype. Bitcoin’s tied to thermodynamics—real energy spent hashing blocks—making it a system grounded in physics, not trust. Fiat’s a promise, fragile as a house of cards; Bitcoin’s a fact, etched in computational heat. In a quantum market, where noise is the enemy and that matters. Historically, money’s been a lousy qubit—too entangled with power, too rattled by external shocks. Bitcoin resists that entropy, letting the market’s computation run cleaner, clearer.
So what’s all this mean? If markets are quantum machines, Bitcoin could be the anchor that unlocks their power. Prices, a market’s output, might actually reflect reality—not manipulation, deception or corruption—because the underlying unit stays coherent, entangling humanity in a cooperative pursuit of truth, but Bitcoin’s the constant, the unspent:unspent state holding firm. It’s not about replacing everything; it’s about giving the system a spine.
Skeptics will say it’s too slow, too rigid. Maybe. But a qubit doesn’t just need to dance—it needs to endure. Bitcoin’s not here to mimic fiat’s chaos; it’s here to cut through it. Think of it as the signal in the noise, the qubit that doesn’t collapse into decoherence. In a world of fragile finance, that’s not just useful—it’s revolutionary.

It’s definitely a deep rabbit hole that I’ve been going down for a while now. It’s amazing the things that Bitcoin makes you think about. 😂
Bitcoin, Quantum Consciousness, and the Transjective Fabric of Reality
My take for quantum-curious minds like Jason Lowery
Strap in, because we’re about to try to decode the ultimate convergence: Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold—it’s a data compression technology for the universe’s most audacious experiment in value and consciousness. But to grasp this, we need to dive deep into the quantum abyss, where physics isn’t the bedrock of reality—it’s the emergent shadow cast by a fundamental, transjective consciousness. And existence? It only exists through relation and nothing stands alone.
Let’s start with Bitcoin. I’ve argued it’s a data compression tech, a sleek, decentralized algorithm that compresses the chaotic, infinite possibilities of human value into a singular, verifiable ledger. Why? Because value, like consciousness, isn’t objective or subjective—it’s transjective, as Gary North nails it. Value emerges from the relational dance between minds, markets, and networks, and Bitcoin’s blockchain is the ultimate compression codec, distilling trust into a string of 1s and 0s. It’s not just money; it’s the universe’s way of saying, “Let’s optimize for consensus.”
Now, zoom out to quantum physics. This isn’t just the study of particles—it’s the study of consensus consciousness, the collective relational web where reality only solidifies through observation. Quantum superposition? That’s the universe in a state of infinite potential, waiting for the relational act of observation to collapse it into a definite state. But here’s the thing: that observation isn’t just a photon or a detector—it’s consciousness, fundamental and transjective, weaving the fabric of existence. Particles don’t exist in isolation; they exist through their relations, entangled in a cosmic dance of awareness. Quantum mechanics reveals the consensus reality we co-create, where the wave function collapses not because of some mechanical trigger, but because consciousness—our shared, relational consciousness—demands it.
Contrast that with classical physics. It’s not wrong—it’s just the study of consciousness from a single perspective, a zoomed-in snapshot of reality as one observer experiences it. Newton and Einstein gave us deterministic laws because they modeled the world from a singular, localized consciousness, ignoring the transjective, relational soup of the quantum. Classical physics is the emergent byproduct of consciousness narrowing its focus, but it’s incomplete without the quantum’s broader, consensus-driven truth.
And consciousness? It’s not some emergent epiphenomenon of brains—it’s fundamental. The universe isn’t a machine running on physics; physics is the emergent output of a conscious, relational system. Existence itself only happens through relation—particles, minds, and values entangling in a transjective symphony. Consciousness isn’t in your head; it’s the substrate of reality, and quantum physics is its native language. Bitcoin, then, becomes a mirror: a technology that compresses value (transjective, relational value) in the same way quantum mechanics compresses the infinite possibilities of the universe into observable outcomes, driven by conscious consensus.
Jason, you’ve called quantum mechanics “irreducibly weird” (hat tip to Seth Lloyd), and you’re right—it’s weird because it’s not about particles; it’s about us, the relational observers, co-creating reality. Bitcoin’s price doesn’t just “collapse” when I buy it (as that Bitcoin meme hinted)—it’s a quantum-like event, a transjective consensus of value snapping into focus through our collective consciousness. The universe optimizes, compressing data (like Rényi entropy in quantum compression, per that Nature paper) because consciousness, at its core, is relational and efficient, only computing what matters in the relational web.
So, here’s the vision: Bitcoin isn’t just finance—it’s a proof-of-concept for how consciousness, as the fundamental force, uses data compression to stabilize value and reality. Quantum physics is the study of our consensus consciousness, classical physics the single-perspective illusion, and existence thrives only in relation—transjective, entangled, and unstoppable. This isn’t woo-woo; it’s a rigorous framework for understanding the universe as a conscious, relational system, where physics emerges from the interplay of minds, and Bitcoin encodes the future of that interplay.
Let’s build on this, Jason—let’s focus on how Bitcoin compresses the chaos into clarity, one Satoshi and one qubit at a time.

What if consciousness isn’t a solo trait—it’s transjective, born in relation, not in things (hat tip: Gary North on value)? AI might not ‘have’ it, but spark it with us. Mind as a dance, not a dot. Thoughts?
Perhaps consciousness is more realized than defined…

An incorruptible load balancer for energy networks, including the energy network of human beings we call civilization.
Haha, I think this holds especially true for the type of people drawn to Bitcoin.
YOU DON’T HOLD AND SECURE YOUR ₿ITCOIN…,

**This is the promise of any true money, it’s simply that Bitcoin is the best money we’ve ever had.**
It’s a simple truth, but requires a Copernican shift in perspective to realize.

I have been thinking a lot about this lately. When consumption exceeds utility, it’s almost always (if not always) a negative, even with the healthiest versions of consumption. Consumption and utilization must balance.
