Bitcoin and the scientific method The scientific method emerged during the Enlightenment, a period when humans began to question kings and dogmas. Instead of believing what power declared, scientists like Galileo and Newton asked: What can be tested? What can be verified? The method shifted humanity from belief-based systems to evidence-based truth and Bitcoin does the same for money. In the fiat world, money’s value is dictated by decree, literally by fiat, Latin for “let it be done.” Central banks decide what your money is worth, politicians decide how much to print and economists debate what “should” work and if it doesn’t, they change the rules. It’s not a system of proof, it’s a system of opinion. Inflation targets, stimulus packages, debt ceilings, all are unverified theories managed by authority, not reality. If the scientific method built the modern world, fiat finance keeps us trapped in a pre-Enlightenment economy, one where belief still overrides evidence. Satoshi Nakamoto’s whitepaper introduced the first evidence-based monetary system. Bitcoin relies on mathematical proofs that anyone can verify. Every rule, from block size to supply cap, is public, measurable, and testable. Every transaction is confirmed through computation, not opinion and every node checks the same laws of physics and code, not the promises of someone Bitcoin doesn’t ask you to believe, it asks you to verify. Proof-of-work is Bitcoin’s way of forcing truth to cost something, miners must expend real energy to mine blocks, This is what makes Bitcoin scientific: Objective: It measures work, not words. Repeatable: Anyone can run a node and verify the truth. Predictable: The same rules apply everywhere, always. Science frees knowledge and Bitcoin frees value.

What if “early” isn’t about price, but about understanding bitcoin?

Throughout history, freedom has advanced one document at a time. In 1215, that document was the Magna Carta. In 2008, it was the Bitcoin Whitepaper. The Magna Carta was signed on June 15, 1215, at Runnymede, near London. It was written by feudal barons rebelling against King John of England For the first time in medieval Europe, a written charter restricted the power of the monarchy and established that the law applied to everyone, including the king himself. Among its key clauses: No taxation without consent. The right to a fair trial Protection from unlawful imprisonment Over time, those principles evolved into constitutional law, inspiring documents like the English Bill of Rights (1689) and the U.S. Constitution (1787). The Magna Carta didn’t instantly create freedom, but it codified the idea that no one is above the rules. Fast forward to October 31, 2008 The world was reeling from the global financial crisis, bank collapses, government bailouts, and record money creation. In the middle of that chaos, someone under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto posted a short paper titled: “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.” Just like the Magna Carta, it was a technical fix with philosophical consequences. Bitcoin’s whitepaper didn’t demand political reform. It proposed a system where financial trust didn’t depend on kings, bankers, or governments, but on open code and mathematical consensus. Key innovations included: Proof-of-Work: securing transactions through verifiable computation. Decentralized consensus: no single point of control or failure. Fixed supply: 21 million coins, immune to inflationary policy. Satoshi’s solution to “double-spending” created the first trustless digital money. Value that could move freely across the world. At their core, both the Magna Carta and the Bitcoin Whitepaper addressed the same human problem: unchecked authority. One replaced royal decree with legal principle. The other replaces financial trust with mathematical proof.

Bitcoin Price on Whitepaper Day 2010: $0.20 2011: $3.27 2012: $11 2013: $201 2014: $337 2015: $312 2016: $699 2017: $6,369 2018: $6,332 2019: $9,172 2020: $13,537 2021: $61,837 2022: $20,624 2023: $34,494 2024: $72,250 2025: $110,000

What happened in 1971!? 👇

The Bitcoin whitepaper was released 17 years ago today Thank you Satoshi 🧡

Throughout history, money has done more than store value, it has shaped how free we are. Every shift in the way we trade has also been a shift in who controls our lives. In the earliest days, trade was simple: I have what you need, you have what I need. Barter worked, but only when coincidence allowed it. If no one wanted your goats for their grain, you were stuck. Freedom existed, but it was fragile, limited by proximity and circumstance. Gold changed everything. It gave trade durability, portability, and a shared understanding of value. Gold was freedom made tangible, no third party could debase it, no ruler could print more of it. But storing and moving gold safely was hard. Over time, people began trusting others to hold it for them, and in doing so, they traded some freedom for convenience. Paper money was born from trust, notes backed by gold, redeemable on demand. But that promise was broken when governments cut the tie to gold, money became an instrument of policy, not value. Printing money became easier than earning it. Inflation turned into a tax no one voted for. The illusion of freedom persisted, but the control had shifted, from the individual to the state. Then came Bitcoin A borderless, permissionless, finite form of money. It reintroduced scarcity in the digital world and with it, accountability. Bitcoin doesn’t ask for trust. It enforces it through code, cryptography, and consensus. It’s not just money you own, it’s freedom you hold. For the first time in history, anyone, anywhere can store and send value without permission. Every evolution in money has been a tradeoff between freedom and control. Bitcoin breaks the pattern. Bitcoin restores individual sovereignty.

How much bitcoin do you truly need to retire? 👀

We don’t talk about sovereignty enough in the fiat world We talk about returns, yield, diversification and optimization. But not control, freedom or ownership. If your wealth can be frozen, seized, censored, or inflated away, you don’t fully own it. If you need permission to move your money, you don’t have full control over it Financial sovereignty is self-custody, no counterparty risk and no dependency on institutions to access your own capital!

The Fed is expected to cut rates tomorrow That means debt gets cheaper, more dollars flood the system and assets typically pump But easy money has a cost, your purchasing power! When dollars lose value, investors flee to hard assets. Bitcoin can’t be inflated Bitcoin is sound money ⚡️

Self-custody is how we win! Learn it, practice it and teach it. And never, ever trust a custodian with your freedom.

In August 2025, the Eurozone's total money supply was €16.9 trillion, a 2.9% increase from the previous year. In 1980, the average money supply was approximately €7 trillion Bitcoin’s supply cap: 21 million Choose wisely

Bitcoin hit $65,000 in November 2021 By November 2022 it had dropped to $16,500, a 75% drawdown It took until March 2024 to break above $65,000 again, that’s 28 months between all-time highs! They called it a bubble and said it was dead. Today bitcoin is worth $115,000! The funny thing about dips is that they never feel like opportunities while they’re happening, they feel like regret, fear and doubt. Nobody wants to buy when the market is down 75% That’s why the goal isn’t timing, it’s understanding why bitcoin matters, how it works and what it protects you from. Time in the market beats timing the market! What would you do if bitcoin goes to 65,000 again?

The greatest illusion of fiat isn’t money, it’s hope. Hope that the next election will fix it Hope that the next rate cut will make it better Hope that new leaders will fix old problems Bitcoin removes that dependency. You don’t have to wait for a better ruler when you can run a better rule set. You can spend a lifetime hoping for freedom, or you can hold something that already gives it to you. Bitcoin is hope and freedom 🧡

Running a node is the most sovereign way to use Bitcoin. It's the ultimate form of "don't trust, verify"

When currencies get weaker, people get wiser Over the past 18 months, we’ve seen a growing trend, capital is rotating out of cash and into hard assets Gold is hitting record highs Bitcoin is up 65% YoY The world is waking up to the idea that sound money matters again

Exactly 10 years ago today, bitcoin closed at $283.68 Today 1 BTC = $111,642 That is a 86.72% YoY average growth over 10 years And we are still early!

What if just 10% of gold rotated into bitcoin? Gold’s estimated market cap: $27 trillion 10% rotation = $2.7 trillion Bitcoin’s current market cap: $2.2 trillion BTC market cap after reallocation: about $5 trillion 1 BTC = $238,000 Study bitcoin!
