I'm one month away from releasing my next book. Civilization can be viewed as an immense coordination problem across time. The mechanical clock was an innovation that enabled a standardization of agreement on sequence but the cost of that innovation was our base understanding of reality. Time is not what we’ve been told it is. Bitcoin fixes something much bigger than money. It is the foundation for a civilization that forms consensus differently. We are entering the age of time.

Civilization is a shared agreement about sequence.

Bitcoin anchors the past in energy.

The industrial clock severed us from the sky.

The arrow of time may be perception. Sequence is agreement.

The daily commute is a mass humiliation ritual.

The mind assembles moments. Bitcoin assembles history.

Linear time feels real because the interface is convincing.

You cannot build cathedrals if you think in quarters.

Bitcoin is not digital gold. It is synchronized memory.

Time is not a fundamental force. It is the result of an ordering process that happens in the mind.

We’re still in the early days of understanding Bitcoin as a species. It absolutely has applications beyond money 📝 a45a9b48…

Bitcoin is the first system in history where time is an emergent property of consensus rather than authority.

What’s really going on with Bitcoin behind the scenes has to be stranger than fiction. Governments and Central bankers 100% understand what it represents. High likelihood many high profile people in the space have hidden agendas and hidden masters. Whatever we see on tv or in print is narrative not truth. We rationalize the behaviour of an asset based on an incomplete picture driven by our internal need for certainty. We abstract it to bars and lines and measure its value in numbers. Bitcoin is an idea and we are trying to quantify its dissemination.
