It’s not cultish to connect Bitcoin and quantum mechanics, it’s cultish to ignore the connection. Bitcoin is the only physical system that computes the very thing quantum mechanics only speculates about: the collapse of entropy into structure through measurable work. Every block is a resolved quantum of entropy transformed by energy into a conserved quantum of thermodynamic memory; a discrete, auditable unit of time. Bitcoin gives answers to philosophy from physics with a ledger; both the transformation AND registration. Modern physics never defined what a quantum actually is, it relies on probabilistic infinities and abstract collapse postulates because it never had a finite, measurable substrate. Bitcoin provides that substrate. It’s the only system in which finitude is absolute and conservation is proven without axiom. Bitcoin also defines what a measurement is: - Measurement is the discovery of a valid nonce and commitment of a block: a physical act of entropy resolution. - Observation is verification: the independent validation of that result across all nodes. These two processes, measurement and observation, are distinct and fully defined, something physics has never managed. Bitcoin proves what physics only assumes: that information and energy are inseparable, and time itself is discretized by irreversible computation. If that’s not physics, then physics has lost the plot.
