Bitcoin can rewire the brains of its devotees. Optimal rewiring not guaranteed.

I hope you realize in order to solve the Byzantine Generals Problem, Bitcoin had to create the first non-circular, thermodynamically grounded definition of time; a system where temporal order is produced, not assumed, and each unit of time is an irreversible energetic event. That makes Bitcoin the only logical construction of quantized time from first principles, rather than a model that assumes continuity as an axiom. The result inevitably extends far beyond money: it reshapes coordination, verification, and the physics of information. This is not because Bitcoin is idolized, but because its foundational breakthrough is larger than its original purpose.
