Impatience is just time preference poisoned by social truth

How many candles equal a lightbulb? How many dollars is a bitcoin worth? Don’t measure the new against the dying.

Find me someone who deeply understood #bitcoin then abandoned it. They essentially don’t exist.

The technical priests (developers) can debate theology all day. The faithful just need to know: “21 million forever, run node to protect.” #bitcoin

#bitcoin is a liberation of will

Will is the incompressible core of the universe. Information describes what is, but will determines what becomes.

Here’s a quick way to retrain your brain to the bitcoin standard. Assume you had $100,000,000 USD Now price ‘x’ in sats Now ask yourself if you had that much USD would you buy whatever ‘x’ was.

Current pricing systems don’t capture true scarcity and energy investment

Initial Price Discovery Period Week 1: Basic Survival • People trade existing Bitcoin for food/shelter at arbitrary rates • Massive price volatility as markets seek equilibrium Month 1-3: Energy Auditing • Communities establish energy measurement standards • Basic goods get standardized energy ratings • Labor rates stabilize around energy output + skill premiums Month 3-12: Complex Pricing • Manufacturing energy costs get calculated • Service pricing emerges • Scarcity premiums for rare materials solidify

Phase 5: Market Mechanisms Price Discovery: 1. Energy Audits: Every product/service gets energy accounting 2. Scarcity Assessments: Regular updates on resource availability 3. Utility Ratings: Community-driven value assessments 4. Dynamic Pricing: Real-time adjustments based on supply/demand Trading Posts: • Local energy accounting stations • Standardized measurement tools • Bitcoin payment infrastructure • Energy content databases Quality Grades: • Grade A: High energy density, rare, superior utility • Grade B: Medium energy investment, common, standard utility • Grade C: Low energy content, abundant, basic utility

Phase 4: Complex Goods Pricing Manufactured Items: Smartphone: • Raw materials energy: 50 kWh • Manufacturing energy: 200 kWh • R&D energy cost (amortized): 100 kWh • Transport: 10 kWh • Total: 360 kWh = 240,000 sats = 0.0024 BTC Services Pricing: Medical Checkup: • Doctor time: 1 hour = 750 sats • Facility energy cost: 5 kWh = 3,333 sats • Equipment amortization: 2,000 sats • Total: ~6,100 sats

Phase 3: Material Valuation System Energy Density + Scarcity Formula: Price = (Energy Content × Processing Energy × Scarcity Factor × Utility Premium) ÷ Bitcoin Energy Unit Wood Example: Pine 2x4 lumber: • Raw energy: 15 MJ/kg = 4.17 kWh/kg • Processing energy: 2 kWh/kg (sawing, drying) • Total: 6.17 kWh/kg = 4,113 sats/kg • Standard 2x4 (2.5 kg) = ~10,300 sats Old-Growth Redwood: • Same base energy: 4.17 kWh/kg • Processing: 3 kWh/kg (careful handling) • Scarcity multiplier: 25x (centuries to grow) • Utility premium: 3x (superior strength) • Total: (7.17 × 25 × 3) = 538 kWh/kg = 358,667 sats/kg • Equivalent board = ~896,667 sats (0.009 BTC)

Phase 2: Labor Value Matrix (Days 30-90) Human Energy Output Standards Base Labor Rate (unskilled physical work): • Human output: 100 watts × 8 hours = 0.8 kWh = 533 sats/day • But this is raw energy only - we need efficiency multipliers Skill/Knowledge Multipliers 1. Pure Physical Labor: 1x base rate (533 sats/day) 2. Skilled Physical: 3-5x (carpenter, mechanic) 3. Technical Knowledge: 8-15x (engineer, doctor) 4. Creative/Rare Skills: 20-100x (artist, inventor) 5. Coordination/Leadership: 10-50x (varies by responsibility) Example Daily Wages: • Farm laborer: 533 sats • Carpenter: 2,000 sats • Doctor: 6,000 sats • Software engineer: 8,000 sats • Rare specialist: 15,000+ sats

If all fiat disappeared tomorrow could we create an energy peg for #bitcoin to become our immutable energy reference point? 1 Bitcoin = 150,000 kwh Food Energy Content: 1 kilocalorie = 4,184 joules = 0.00116 kWh Apple (80 kcal) = 0.093 kWh = ~62 satoshis Loaf of bread (1,200 kcal) = 1.4 kWh = ~933 satoshis Daily 2,000 kcal diet = 2.3 kWh = ~1,533 sats Basic Shelter: Heating 1,000 sq ft home daily = ~100 kWh = 66,667 sats Monthly shelter = ~2 million sats (0.02 BTC) nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe

You cannot cheat. Life.work.bitcoin. None of it can be cheated.

What does the universe want done through me?

Our universe is energy. Human craftsmanship is conscious energy direction. Unlike mass production that applies uniform energy regardless of material variation, craftsmanship involves human consciousness guiding energy flow toward beauty and function simultaneously. Make things. It’s your god given right.

These are beautiful times. Always remember that this is necessary. Participate in creation, save in #bitcoin
