I’ve found a fascinating connection between Bitcoin and consciousness / quantum physics while reading Irreducible by Federico Faggin. In it, he explores the possibility that consciousness is the fundamental basis of everything — and that space and time emerge as consciousness becomes aware of itself, storing experience in space by creating the reality it inhabits, and creating time to give those experiences sequence and meaning. He also suggests that free will may be what causes the collapse of the wave function, effectively representing the “present moment” and “setting information in the past (or blocks😁).”
The parallel with how Bitcoin works is, in my view, stunning.
Is consciousness fundamentally scarce, just like Bitcoin?
