Finally listened to the whole thing and felt inspired

A peer-to-peer electronic cash system can be interpreted as a data storage system in the specific sense that it immutably records transaction data in a distributed ledger. Each transaction is a data entry. The blockchain acts as an append-only database replicated across nodes. However, its function is not general-purpose data storage—only financial state transitions are recorded. Storing arbitrary data is inefficient, and antithetical to its purpose.

• Bitcoin’s design objective is the secure, decentralized transfer of value.

• Every transaction represents a financial state transition: ownership of sats moving between keys.

• The block size and scripting capabilities are intentionally limited to preserve decentralization.

• Storing arbitrary or non-monetary data bloats the blockchain permanently.

• Increased chain size leads to higher storage, bandwidth, and validation costs for all nodes.

• Excessive non-financial use centralizes the network by pricing out home node operators.

• Bitcoin’s immutability demands responsible usage—every byte is an eternal burden.

• Embedding unrelated data (NFTs, files, messages) exploits consensus for non-consensus purposes.

• Such actions mirror altcoin behavior: complexity, bloat, centralization.

• Bitcoin is not a general-purpose data store or computational engine.

• The UTXO set must remain manageable to maintain full node accessibility.

• Abuse of the base layer invites soft forks and protocol changes—threats to monetary immutability.

• Non-financial uses break the economic symmetry between cost of inclusion and utility.

• Layered scaling (e.g. Lightning) exists precisely to offload non-core functionality.

• Preserving Bitcoin’s integrity requires ideological clarity: it is money, not middleware.

Bitcoin exists to record who owns what and who paid whom.

That’s it.

Every node stores every byte forever, so scope must be absolute: financial state transitions only.

Anything else—files, tokens, messages—is parasitic.

It shifts cost to honest users, bloats the ledger, and invites centralization. Bitcoin’s credibility depends on its simplicity.

Hard money needs hard limits.

Broaden the use case, weaken the foundation. Keep the base layer lean, verifiable, and sovereign.

Everything else belongs elsewhere.

It’s truly amazing how experiences can be so relatable with just a single image.

I can’t even recall the last time I thought of the fifth element little loan this seen, but within 3 mins of scrolling I was searching for something relatable. It’s the only thing close in my mind.

You created what leeloo was looking at .

Centralization promises order. It delivers decay.

Let’s provide clarity

Bitcoin isn’t a software project with monetary implications. It’s a monetary revolution that just happens to be built in code.

Don’t fight the system. Exit. Build alternatives. Truth scales. The corrupt collapse themselves. ~ The Unyielded

Yeah, maybe Nostr isn’t cool right now.

Neither was Bitcoin in 2011.

Decentralized tools don’t win because they’re polished —

they win because they’re unstoppable.

Forks and altcoins sacrifice Bitcoin’s security, predictability, and decentralization by introducing centralized governance, weak incentives, and endless experimentation at the monetary base layer.

Bitcoin is not a company, product, or investment scheme; it is a monetary revolution.

A monetary revolution is the overthrow of an existing system of money and the replacement of its underlying principles, structures, and authorities. It destroys established mechanisms of monetary control, particularly fiat issuance by states and central banks, and reorients economic life around voluntary, market-driven money. It abolishes the political manipulation of value storage and transfer, reinstating scarcity, sovereignty, and integrity in the medium of exchange. Bitcoin is executing the first decentralized, global monetary revolution, shifting trust from coercive institutions to unbreakable cryptographic law.
