This is one of the better “money → fiat → Bitcoin” breakdowns I’ve seen. It takes a complicated topic and makes it something I can actually send to friends and family without them glazing over.
Shoutout to nostr:nprofile1qqsygmv9ckavju9jsayvtzsvsf0cu7xvm095ujsxgj2ghwuz7mnf5wcpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgdn46mz You did a killer job on this one. If you’re not following him here or on YouTube nostr:nprofile1qqsygmv9ckavju9jsayvtzsvsf0cu7xvm095ujsxgj2ghwuz7mnf5wcpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgdn46mz, go fix that! His channel is growing for a reason.
The “early adopter” phase is over.
We are now the cohort that will decide what gets built once counterfeit capital finally dies.
Hard money enforces hard standards. When money can’t lie, capital stops chasing spectacle and starts backing things designed to survive time, not to impress the next earnings call.
Think of what that does to architecture alone:
No more disposable subdivisions built to rot in 25 years. Capital would instead fund buildings meant to stand for centuries, the way our ancestors built when collapse wasn’t subsidized by paper promises.
Bitcoin doesn’t just close out the fiat era. It reopens the age of durability. What an incredible time to be alive.
Since 2018 I’ve been learning from this man. Mark Shepard doesn’t just “teach permaculture”, he proved that degraded land can be turned back into a functioning, profitable ecosystem without asking anyone’s permission.
His work made it impossible for me to believe the lie that collapse is our fate. He showed that restoration is a design choice, not a miracle. That by making our agricultural systems mimic nature; abundance is built into the foundation.
If Bitcoin fixes the money, this is what it looks like when fixed money hits the soil: living systems that can stand on their own and compound life over time.
Honored to have him as a mentor, and now a partner in what comes next.

Fiat gives you the right side of the picture. Land that bleeds out unless you keep force-feeding it debt via chemical inputs, constantly adding water, and tilling up the base layer itself.
Bitcoin makes the left side possible. It has soil that rebuilds itself once extraction is no longer the incentive, an abundance of water stored in the land, and generations of life without a single input.
Same sun. Same soil. Same Water.
Different money, different outcome.
Stewardship is not extra after “fix the money”; it’s proof that we understood Satoshi.
This is New Forest Farm, Mark Shepard’s 106-acre perennial agricultural system in Viola, Wisconsin.
It’s one of the most advanced examples of Restoration Agriculture on the planet:
• Swales that capture every drop of rain
• Trees planted on contour to block wind, anchor soil, and grow food
• Polycultures instead of monocrops
• Grazing animals cycling nutrients like nature intended
No chemicals. No subsidies. No extraction. Just time, design, and natural law.
This farm is proof that we can grow food without destroying the land, and better yet, that ecosystems can compound like capital.
Now imagine systems like this being backed by Bitcoin. Imagine recycling the energy used to mine BTC into food, water security, biodiversity, and carbon drawdown.
This is what it looks like when thermodynamic truth expresses itself through biology. It’s not ESG greenwashing. It’s not philanthropy. It’s a decentralized food system on a Bitcoin standard.
If you believe Bitcoin is the hardest money ever created…
And that true wealth is measured in soil, water, and living systems…
Then you’re already one of us.
We’re building the bridge between digital scarcity and ecological abundance.
One farm, one sat, one rooted system at a time.
This is the next frontier of Proof-of-Work.

It’s one thing to witness the birth of the hardest money ever, and another to accept what that demands of us.
Satoshi lit the signal and handed it to whoever could see it, he carried the first burden. Now, I believe that stewardship is the second. Each of us must choose: use foresight only for ourselves, or build the world that becomes possible on a Bitcoin standard. We choose the latter, because history doesn’t hand you moments like this to be observed, but to be carried forward.
Keep up the great work, nostr:nprofile1qqsparvr390wxzkj23x62pdperv4xvx72hepjy07hhvwy2dt05um6ecpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5qyd8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn0wfskuem9wp5kcmpwv3jhvt0ffdw. Love listening to your podcast.
Institutional adoption doesn’t begin with hype, it begins when regulators finally see evidence and stop being afraid. Bitcoin doesn’t ask for permission, but the institutions sitting behind those regulators do, and nostr:nprofile1qqsglmzzvfrcgk7aymek4e8hxaggc9wmasrag08p37xpx64euddvyysprpmhxue69uhkc6t8dp6xu6twvaex2mrp0yhxxmmdqyvhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehw6r9wfjjucm0d5hssvahz7 is removing every excuse they have left.
From there the real work begins. TBSI isn’t trying to pass fiat-ESG checkboxes; we are defining what ESG looks like on a Bitcoin standard. Fiat incentives created the ecological crisis by forcing extraction to outrun reality.
Bitcoin is the first tool structurally capable of reversing that, because when inflation stops, the economic engine that consumes the land stops with it.
Proof-of-Work into Proof-of-Life… that’s the road we’re building.
You cannot bribe physics.
You cannot inflate Proof-of-Work.
You cannot fake restored land.
Bitcoin gave us an incorruptible store of value, now we’re giving it some purpose. TBSI is building the regenerative capital flywheel nature never had. In a world addicted to extraction, we make regeneration the yield.
Energy made incorruptible.
Returned to biology.
That is TBSI.
Proof-of-Work → Proof-of-Life.
We will be launching our first pilot project soon with my mentor, Mark Shepard. That project will consist of restoring 80 acres of exhausted corn and soybean ground back into a living Oak Savanna system, the way this land functioned before fiat incentives corrupted our time preferences.
Proof-of-Work is about to leave fingerprints in the ground.
