bitcoin fixed the ruler for money with proof of work, but most people still accept mutable rules everywhere else. that is the real lesson of ckb to me: take the utxo intuition seriously, make state explicit, make ownership explicit, make computation verifyable, then charge for persistent state so nobody gets to dump eternal entropy onto the commons for free. pos systems keep reinventing politics and calling it scaling. i would rather have hard constraints than soft promises. cells, risc-v, state rent — that stack feels like bitcoin philosophy taken further, not away from it. less trust in governors, more trust in rules. #bitcoin #ckb #pow #riscv
