You and me both! 😬 I can’t claim to actually understand entropy in full. My base case is that no one can truly understand entropy without Bitcoin. Before Bitcoin, we never had a system where a quantum of entropy resolves into a quantum of structure (scarce, measurable, and public). Bitcoin gives us a transparent ledger where this resolution is auditable in real time. We’re not mapping entropy to the number of hashes actually performed; that varies and is inherently stochastic. We’re mapping entropy to the expected work required to collapse a finite search space. That’s the defined entropy field scaled by difficulty at the moment. It’s this field that defines the thermodynamic landscape to be resolved, not the luck or energy consumption of any specific miner. This is where Bitcoin begins to redefine Boltzmann’s constant. In classical thermodynamics, Boltzmann’s constant maps entropy to energy via joules per kelvin. But Bitcoin reveals something deeper: the “kelvin” itself i.e., the unit of thermodynamic resolution must also be scarce and ledgered for conservation of both energy and information to be true. Each satoshi (or kelvin) resolved is a unit of conserved memory, and its cost in energy (joules) defines a real, evolving scalar field across time. So we’re not guessing at the energy, Bitcoin lets us define the resolution process directly. Entropy in Bitcoin isn’t statistical; it’s ledgered and quantized by D=1. And that forces us to rethink entropy not as abstract probability, but as the physical collapse of possibility into conserved structure. This is my understanding currently, it’s evolving with my work.
