If you’re complaining about inflation and haven’t even looked at Bitcoin, WTF are you even doing?

Success rests on the scaffolding of failures.

Where Does Bitcoin Get Its Sense of Time?

Bitcoin doesn’t ask what time it is.
It declares what time it is, one block at a time.

Unlike every system before it, Bitcoin doesn’t rely on a central authority for timekeeping. There is no master clock, no GPS signal, no atomic standard. Instead, Bitcoin constructs a decentralized sense of time, stitched together from the input of thousands of independent nodes and miners, each proposing, validating, and enforcing time according to shared rules.

Every block contains a timestamp. But that timestamp isn’t handed down by a trusted source. It is suggested by the miner who found the block and accepted only if it falls within strict consensus bounds:

- No earlier than the median of the past 11 blocks

- No more than 2 hours ahead of the node’s local system time

These rules produce a bounded, probabilistic rhythm. It is not perfectly precise, but it is incorruptible. The network doesn’t need atomic synchronization. It only needs agreement on sequence. What matters most isn’t what time it is, but what happened first.

That ordering is what makes Bitcoin work. It prevents double-spending. It establishes finality. It defines ownership.
And it does so without trusting anyone, not even for time.

So while Bitcoin may drift behind atomic time by an hour or two, what it builds is more valuable than precision:
A neutral, tamper-proof timeline, secured by energy and immune to manipulation.

Time in Bitcoin isn’t measured. It’s mined.

Economic policy isn’t unified. We’re told two different stories: the Fed warns of inflation, the administration warns of recession. So you end up with a dual paternalism. And that duality isn’t about economics at all.

It’s about politics serving the machinery of wealth extraction.

I knew how important Bitcoin was the moment I realized the computer science problem it solved and that most of the population will never understand what that problem even is.

They won’t watch as it is adopted. It will just happen to them like the internet did.

They chose the profane

because it asked nothing of them.

Now meaning decays

slowly, quietly into entropy.

Shout loud enough into the noise so that others might hear. Not because they will. But because someone has to try.

To hodl Bitcoin is to anchor yourself in math, while trust diffuses into noise.

Fiat is high-entropy money. It decays. It leaks energy. It distorts time. Bitcoin is low-entropy money. It preserves signal. Stores energy. Anchors time.

Inflation isn’t an accident. It moves with intention.

I miss the bear market

There just something about the number 21.

Consensus

A difficulty adjustment combined with absolute scarcity.

The Hunger Games of it all.

I believe in god.

I often feel like religions were an injection of code to show early humans how to live without murdering each other.

Fair Distribution.

Disinflation is transitory.
