Yesterday, for the first time, I received an email from an human which was obviously written by AI and I debated for a long time if I should reply at all.

Eventually I did, because I knew the human would at least read the reply.

What struck me is how quickly authentic, human-to-human interactions are becoming scarce, and therefore more valuable.

I bought my first Bitcoin in 2017, and by 2020 i was a Bitcoin Maxi, the problem? Nobody wanted to hear about it. Friends thought I was crazy.

This wasn’t just my experience, it’s a widespread issue in the Bitcoin community.

The reality is that existing social platforms don’t solve this problem, bitcoiners have to use 5,6,7 different apps just to connect with each other or find local events.

And that’s why I've built nostr:npub1ve8qwrlztemdmnh62jffcr0y9m9dpqgqjdg8ufx7gc3qw5wdk74qyv9ka6 - a social network entirely dedicated to Bitcoiners.

99% of the world have no idea bitcoin just made a new ATH

think how early we are

After spending 10 years thinking about Money & Bitcoin, here's the simplest explanation I can come up with:

Money is a technology to move Value across Space, Time, and Scale.

Value is the utility humans derive from Goods & Services.

Value is highly subjective, and it changes across Time and Space.

Unbeknownst to them, Economists have defined these functions as:

- Store of Value (Time)

- Medium of Exchange (Space)

- Unit of Account (Scale)

Throughout History, no monetary system has managed to satisfy all 3 functions of Money at once. This is where the idea of Backing Money and the necessity of separating Money and Currency come from.

This trade-off can be described as a Money Trilemma: you can optimize for 2, but not all 3.

Gold is great at Time & Scale, but not Space.

Fiat is great at Space & Scale, but not Time.

Until the invention of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is the first form of Money that successfully excels at all 3 functions simultaneously.

It achieves that by perfecting all the properties of hashtag#Money, with no extra room for improvement:

#Bitcoin is:

- Infinitely Divisible

- Instantly Portable

- Forever Durable

- Mathematically Finite (what is mistakenly called Scarcity)

- Perfectly Fungible

Bitcoin is the final Evolution of Money.

The World just hasn’t figured it out yet.
