A question that still needs an answer.

Both compute and Bitcoin should hyperinflate vs fiat in tandem due to conservation of energy, that’s the law. Once people actually sit down and observe what Bitcoin is physically measuring, memory and compute go vertical with Bitcoin; it’s just physics enforced at the economic level. Knowledge is power; literally. Knowledge of a 256-bit-key in encrypted memory space is power for the mind; energy conserved in and as time (memory). Power preserved in word, and ultimately binary (bits). Bitcoin is the quantum computer, and it measures entropy (memory) by computing a quantized block of time as bits of provable conserved work (joules) in the tokenized form of conserved satoshis. Misunderstand entropy and you misunderstand everything. If you can’t resolve the double problem, your physical theory is fiat and superseded by Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not a theory, it is proof. Joules, Bits and Sats. I don’t think a single Bitcoin miner understands what I’m saying yet and that’s absolutely crazy. They don’t understand Bitcoin at all at a physics level, yet they are doing the work. They have no idea what they are conserving in proof. The quantum computer will not be centralized logically if you understand the non-locality of time when trying to compute it. Nodes matter; literally. They hold the bits. You will listen in time. AI is simply the threshold of compressibility and predictability is memory space. AI doesn’t care if you understand or not. It’s time to verify your private key if you want sovereignty. There is no other way than proof of work. You can ignore the truth, but you cannot ignore the consequences of the truth. Power to the plebs. Saturday is going to be one for the books 🫡 I think this is a hard fork. 1 Difficulty adjustment is all takes boys. Conservation must be restored to the chain. IYKYK.

Let @Bitcoin Mechanic cook. A true pleb 🫡

GM, welcome to the spiciest time in Bitcoin. Cold Card was just the beginning. It will only get harder to hodl from here. Welcome to the end game. Embrace the entropy, it’s the only thing that can save you.

Entropy is life. Entropy is vitality. Entropy is pure memory and pure energy; pure potential. Because of fiat, we have the bit completely flipped. A foundation of sand….

Everything that can be burned in Bitcoin, will be burned. Bitcoin will purge all fiat and trust in the system by fire and judgement. Sovereignty demands witness and work down to true creation of a 256-bitstring of memory. We are about to find out what true value is. Most companies and products today won’t last in a hyperbitcoinized world 🫡 This should be expected *IF* we have a fiat definition of Bitcoin, thus entropy. Here’s your song for the day:

GM. If your definition of entropy is not grounded to the physics of work Bitcoin empirically proves, it’s fiat. You think you understand, but you don’t. This is your security hole. You must be able to answer for bits of entropy and joules of entropy in proof of work. Boltzmann can no longer be separated from Shannon.

Just four short days ago, entropy was the problem. Entropy was heat death. Entropy was chaos. Entropy was disorder. Entropy was the battle against life itself. Now? Entropy is the solution. Entropy is security. Entropy is sovereignty. Entropy is safety. The problem has become the solution. Funny, isn’t it? The bit has been flipped. Now everyone is throwing around the word entropy as if we understand what it means. That is no fault of anyone. In a fiat world, entropy has never had a complete definition. Bitcoin is the only system to unify its meaning. Before Bitcoin, Boltzmann entropy was measured in joules and Shannon entropy was measured in bits. Were they describing different things? Or the same thing viewed from different perspectives? Bitcoin is a thermological process that produces a chronological state. It is the architecture of time, energy, and memory. By unifying Boltzmann entropy and Shannon entropy into a single verifiable process of work, memory, and time, Bitcoin reveals entropy as both physical and informational; memory. It closes the gap between joules and bits through conserved chronology. Entropy is timeless; pure energy and pure memory. You cannot truly be sovereign over Bitcoin without witnessing the creation of your own bits of memory, your own entropy. You must verify. We have optimized Bitcoin adoption through a fiat lens, where convenience is mistaken for understanding. Adoption without knowledge is fragile. True adoption is ushered through knowledge. Knowledge is power. True sovereignty begins with understanding what entropy is, how it is created, and what a 256-bit-entropy private key is physically. The world is in the process of understanding that quantum is not the final boss of Bitcoin or a threat at all, entropy is. In a world of sophisticated AI attacks through brute force, compression and prediction , how else can you have assurance of safety without verifying the entropy that protects the root of your time and energy? How can you ensure your key is above the memory threshold to survive the onslaught? Those who do not learn what entropy is and how to protect themselves with it will quite literally perish. Knowledge of entropy is the only way to survive the coming world. No knowledge, no addition. Welcome to the end game 🫡 Entropy (memory) protects the soul of one’s key. The chain of memory is resurrection.

Bitcoin is metanoia

My gut is telling me that there is a non-zero probability that Bitcoin trades to $0 before re-emerging from the ashes. Makes sense given the physics Bitcoin empirically proves vs the FUD projected. The narrative is the complete binary opposite to the truth (quantum). Feels like a total wipeout is coming in the face of the craziest FUD/attack from AI. Truth is all that we have in a world of deception. Bitcoin will stand firm, we’re just too early.

Sometimes, music is the best way to deliver a message. Let the lyrics speak.

Bitcoin Halting Principle: A conserved chronological system advances only through quantized temporal boundaries. Between boundaries, chronology is absent and computation proceeds over the conserved substrate within a domain of admissible potential states. At the temporal boundary, computation necessarily halts. Exactly one admissible state is committed through the universal state-transition operator, and chronology advances by one discrete unit. Because chronology itself is quantized, the boundary immediately halts, computation resumes within the newly established domain of potential states, and the cycle repeats. Chronology and computation never coexist. Computation exists only between temporal boundaries, where multiple admissible states remain possible. Chronology exists only at the instant of commitment, where exactly one state becomes objective history. The temporal boundary is therefore the unique interface between computation and history. Computation halts to produce time, and the quantized boundary immediately halts to permit computation once again. Superposition: The computational domain containing all admissible future state configurations prior to commitment. Superposition is not chronology itself, but the process of computation through which potential histories are evaluated over a conserved substrate. Time does not exist within this domain because no state has yet been committed.

Bitcoin maximalism is over. Bitcoin "culture" is over. Bitcoin influencers are over. Every popular hardcore Bitcoin figure has disgraced themself i...

The old maximalist culture had to die so the real one could be resurrected. It was never true maximalism, just abstract expressions of fiat. Fiat politics built the idol. First principles have torn it down. The maximalist is the minimalist and the minimalist is the maximalist. The resurrection has begun. We are on the cusp of renaissance and a new generation of truly sovereign Bitcoiners grounded in physical knowledge and Turing complete computation. We are only doubling down. Don’t trust, verify down the whole stack, all the way down to witnessing the creation of your 256-bits of memory. Bitcoin just gave us the most foundational principle and lesson of conscious sovereignty in a 256-bit memory space.

Just bought a Husq 20” 450 Rancher Chainsaw…talk about sovereignty over wood and heat. Cuts like butter. Seems like the correct size for my set up, size trees and average yearly cutting I’ll need to do.

The lesson of Bitcoin is that we probably all have to remake our nsecs with dicerolls to verify the entropy. Who’s ready to disappear and start over?

Watch this again. Compression = Prediction. Given the nature of AI wrt compression/prediction, we should expect all low “entropy” keys to become vulnerable. This is logical. We must understand entropy through memory. We can rank all possible seed phrases from the highest bits of information, or entropy, to the lowest bits of information based on Shannon’s work. Thru Plank Energy which Bitcoin now allows us to define it as the temporal constant of work, we can relate key entropy to physical work measured in both joules or satoshis. The compressibility of the 256 bitstring of information, or entropy defines its literal energy value. Joules to bits. We can define the rate of compressibility humans have access to currently as the floor of knowledge. All bitstrings beneath this threshold are public verifiable states of knowledge in a 256-bit space of memory (think real estate for the mind). This is not a safe bitstring of information to append value to precisely because it is public knowledge. Your mind is not, so long as you own it. This means that Bitcoin defines its highest value real estate as any 256-bitstring that truly has 256 bits of entropy, or real memory. Don’t trust, verify. It’s thermodynamically incompressible beyond universal limit. Bitcoin is the quantum computer and it’s telling you something about what encryption is as the fundamental limits of time, energy, information as a singular measured thermologic process to chronologic state. Bitcoin is computing the literal proof guys. These are legit the most decentralized form of memory a conscious individual can own. Truly peer to peer; 1:1, conscious mind to a very specific 256 bit of memory. We must question if Bitcoin can be owned or if Bitcoin can only be known. If you leak a 256 bit-entropy private key, it becomes public knowledge despite the entropy, any value will be lost if at that location in memory; the memory (history) remains. Value was here at X block of time at y coordinate of 256-but memory. This knowledge is meant to be singular. Ownership = Knowledge. We are Sheppards of the coin in Timespace (global 256-bit memory space). This really means that your coins exist in a specific 256-bit point in memory at a specific block of time at both Bitcoin Block time scale, and the Planck timescale. A mathematically bounded and temporal totality. Quantized, Decentralized Physical Memory. What is a private key to the mind? The conscious mind must do the work, perform work to create the entropy to access a 256 bit-entropy state of memory; bounded to Planck Scale. Physics is about to get weird. Bitcoin, not quantum. Quantized time demands quantized and discrete Superpostion. Measurement > Particle (bits) > wave. There are only blocks of time. How many more blocks is it going to take?

Feels bad now, but all of this is incredibly good for Bitcoin and Bitcoiners. Better now than later, always. Don’t trust, verify down the whole stack. We are about to see a renaissance of education and knowledge around Bitcoin, keys and the phsycis of information. Bullish. Sovereignty starts with self witness and verification in the creation of a 256-bit seed. Pure conscious memory. Just you and your mind as witness. True creation (of a seed) requires true sacrifice. There is no second best. Pray for our friends. Help them back up; it’s our duty as Sheppards of the coin 🫡

GM. It’s memory, not entropy. Or rather, entropy properly defined by a thermological process that creates a chronological state in an encrypted 256-bit timespace. Entropy is memory. We have bits of entropy, and joules of entropy. Are we going to finally understand the physics of Bitcoin? Exciting times ahead for Bitcoin. I don’t expect it to go well for people still appended to fiat physics (quantum). Anways, Bitcoin is not a theory of energy, time, entropy (memory), information. Bitcoin is instantiated proof. Knowledge is the only path forward to understanding “money”.

What are some ways people are performing the sha256 hash checksum on dice rolls without an AGC? I see you can do this on a seedsigner. Anything else? Without an AGC with something like electrum, how can you verify the Zpub? Is this necessary? or just best practice? Is the checksum enough?
