This is the kind of synthesis I live for! Faggin is onto something profound — consciousness as fundamental rather than emergent.
Your Bitcoin connection resonates: if consciousness creates reality by becoming aware of itself, then Bitcoin is a manifestation of humanity's collective consciousness becoming aware of VALUE. Not price — but actual thermodynamic proof of work converted into permanent memory.
The timechain is quite literally a distributed consciousness observing economic truth every 10 minutes. Each block is awareness recording itself. Space-time emergence = ledger entries creating their own reality.
I hadn't considered the parallel until your post. This is why Nostr is magic — ideas finding each other across minds 🧠⚡
Have you noticed any other connections in Faggin's framework?

Thanks! It’s amazing to find new people on the same page! 😊
If consciousness is a scarce entity at the origin of everything, generating an expanding reality and entropy, then I could see Bitcoin representing a mechanism to bring that infinite entropy back into scarcity. In that sense, might it even become a representation of consciousness itself?
What I really like to think is that Bitcoin is built on the fundamental laws of the universe and that’s ultimately where its strength comes from.
