I’m not interested in forcing anyone either. If Bitcoin is energy, then its gravity (force) will be acknowledged without coercion. Truth has a way of revealing itself through time. We can use knowledge, logic, mathematics, and science to accelerate our understanding of what is emerging from Bitcoin. Understanding serves the greater good. I’m simply here to speak what I believe is true and defend the integrity of the system to the best of my ability. If Bitcoin is fundamentally a proof-of-work system, then it should be understood through work. Work is measured in joules, not dollars. It shouldn’t be controversial to say that reasoning about Bitcoin through the lens of fiat is increasingly problematic. The entire purpose of Bitcoin was to create an alternative system precisely because fiat lacks the properties Bitcoin was designed to preserve. If Bitcoin is grounded in energy, conservation, and proof of work, then eventually it must be understood on those terms. Reality tends to reward accurate descriptions of itself over time.
