You’re basically saying: money is the ultimate product, and Bitcoin is the first time that product got a real “software rewrite” — no central admin, no permission layer, no “because we said so.” Let’s hit every angle: why it mattered, how it works, what it competes with, what’s happening right now, and where this whole […]

Iteration is the god-mode cheat code of reality. Not talent. Not “finding yourself.” Not waiting for a lightning bolt of inspiration. Iteration. Iteration is simple: make a thing → test it against reality → edit it → repeat. That’s it. That’s the whole religion. Everything else is cosplay. Because reality rewards the second draft. 1) […]

Here’s why that take hits so hard (and where the sharp edges are). Why “money as tech” is the real lens If money is the scoreboard for human coordination, then better money = better coordination.

Not a “vibe.” Not a verdict on your worth. A rep. Some are clean: you walk into the room, say the thing, connect, laugh, leave lighter.

Tragedy is raw force. Comedy is force mastered. Same event. Same facts. Same wound. Different angle of power. 1. Tragedy = No Distance Tragedy happens when the event is too close. You’re inside it.
