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? @Efrat Fenigson @ef151c7a…fab69a8b @85080d3b…db931204

Wow Andre! Did you know I’m a fan of Federico or is it a “coincidence”? See my post: https://www.efrat.blog/p/federico-faggin-connecting-science It’s my dream to interview him one day. Thank you for bringing him up here, and yes I do believe he’ll be fascinated with bitcoin if he learns about it. @ef151c7a…fab69a8b - told you… let’s make it happen…

Now do Litecoin... I can collapse the wave function with a photo detector. No consciousness required. Reminds me of scientology.

I guess it requires that you consciously use the photo detector?

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?
