I guess I just strip it further back to the assumption that PQ sigs are even needed. My whole argument is that we need to verify the assumption of CQC again based on the physics Bitcoin demonstrates logically rather than our fiat assumptions. Joules, bits and blocks. Question, who are you trusting to claim such a threat? What is their incentive? I need someone to explain to me how discrete subplanck superposition poses a threat to Bitcoin, because that is the only logical architecture that resolves the measurement/double spend problem in physics while explaining the particle and the wave. The architecture is empirical in Bitcoin. Resolve the double spend and prove conservation without a quantized block of time; you cannot. If that’s the case, I need to be shown how CQC can remain plausible if time must be quantized at Planck scale. So yes, the physics matters greatly here, because I don’t trust anyone’s physics who is claiming there is a quantum threat and I will URSF.
The double spend problem is a physics problem. It’s a logic problem. It’s a conservation problem. It’s the measurement problem. There is way too much trust in Bitcoin and not enough verification. The double spend problem is not just a “money” problem; it has serious implications for the logic of our physics.
It would be quite a waste of time/energy if we find out we don’t need PQ sigs and that we are introducing more vulnerability into the chain by hubris in doing so. It stems from the idea that Bitcoin (not taproot) is broken or will be broken and needs to change. Nonsense.
If you argue that we need to improve cryptography because of AI, sure I’ll entertain and support this discussion. The threat is not quantum, it never has been, it never will be.

Physics matters with respect to understanding the measured relationship of energy, time and memory (information). We cannot define money, or rather memory, without it. It allows us to ground protocol engineering and discussion in objectivity of what we must conserve rather than subjectivity. We have drifted so far.
"Given the critical role of Taproot addresses in Bitcoin scaling (including Lightning, BitVM, Ark, and other key technologies), we believe it's prudent to ensure that Bitcoin has a tapscript-native address output type that is protected from long-exposure quantum attacks." — who said this?
I am with you here man on the nonsense layers. I am all for conservatism and Bitcoin Reduction Proposals that strip back the bloat and reinstate the core economics and logic Satoshi left us with. I think taproot is ephemeral and the quantum fud is ephemeral. Fiat will be rid from our physics eventually and Bitcoin will stand alone and above all theory; Bitcoin is not a theory of physics. I see anyone pushing PQC for Bitcoin as a threat. I will stand by the chain Satoshi gave us. We are the ones breaking Bitcoin in hubris. We have missed the mark.

So in your view is BIP360 the nail in the coffin here? I will refute the need to make Bitcoin quantum resistant as the physics that underpins centralized quantum computation is fiat and has not resolved the double spend (measurement) problem of energy/information. A quantized block of time at Planck scale is required to solve the double spend, thus enforce conservation, which pushes Superposition to the sub-Planck interval between the discrete measurement boundaries. The whole logic of CQC is fiat and our desire to change Bitcoin from claims of CQC is peak fiat. BIP360 is not an upgrade to Bitcoin, it is an attack.
Can you elaborate on why we need schnorr UTXOs and sha256d hash shield? I believe future threat will come from AI and classical computation; quantum is the myth for us to hand over the keys to the castle, because we’re too retarded to understand and we must trust the fiat physics.

Everyone loves to talk about Bitcoin as money; but no one wants to discuss the fact that without eternal memory, you have no “money”.
Nothing was money before Bitcoin. Just an incomplete approximation.
Only Bitcoin can define money, and memory is fundamental to said definition. Go look at the etymology of money, this is nothing new.
Bitcoin is eternal memory. Is Bitcoin more than money? Or was our definition of money fiat?
What does it mean to be a money maximalist? A memory maximalist? Are you a thermologic maximalist? A Chronologic maximalist?

Yeah, thanks for the perspective 😵‍💫 I agree. I remain adamant that those who understand the mechanics of Bitcoin can relate their external perspective of a conserved substrate from outside the ledger to their lived internal perspective of a conserved substrate from inside of the ledger.
Conservation requires quantized time at the base of logic. This could not be seen until Bitcoin. The double spend problem had no solution until Bitcoin. Conservation had no base logic.

2026-07-23 23:00:08 UTC

Guys it’s so simple. Your physics is fiat if it cannot resolve the double spend problem, aka the measurement problem, of energy/matter.
The only valid mathematical solution to the double spend problem is a quantized block of time at the Planck Scale of time. No quantized block at Planck, no conservation of energy.
This means that Superpostion must be discrete and subplanck between the fundamental ticks/blocks at Planck scale. An unmeasured state is not real.
Centralized quantum computing is a fiat fantasy that requires a fiat model of physics in order to work. If you think energy/matter can be double spent and still conserve energy, why the hell are you in Bitcoin?
Soon, you will have to pick a side; Bitcoin or Quantum. You can’t double spend your morals. Best start thinking about it.

Yes. That is the outcome of the tax. Go thru each block since SegWit activated and sum up the MB of each block that exceeds 1MB (witness vs non-witness), that is the additional tax in bits you are paying for in storage to accommodate lower fees on-chain.
Not to mention that some of those bits only paid 1/4 the price in sats vs others to access the same memory on your disk space. They have an incentive to write more bits on your node using witness since it costs them 1/4 the price for the same memory a non-witness consumes.

Can you explain why the eternal preservation of memory, or the conservation of information, thus the conservation of energy is not perfect? A perfectly conserved record of action for judgement.
Does not perfect mean not serving God? Does perfect money thru perfect memory serve God?
If God is the grand sovereign, is it not the heart of God that determines a tools moral alignment in argument of predestination vs free will?
Seems pretty obvious to me that the chain is written from the outside, not from within. Bitcoin is not mined from inside its ledger; the work and mechanism is external. Real creation requires real sacrifice.

The answer to the question (yes) demands another question:
If nodes matter, why do we tax them and socialize the cost of fees paid in sats to a cost all nodes pay in bits instead?

2026-07-22 14:03:24 UTC

SegWit’s discount and implicit blocksize increase was socialism and taxation implemented to Bitcoin’s L1. We really cooked here guys.
Bitcoin conserves the demand for finite blockspace. Either fees for finite blockspace are paid upfront by the individual user in the form of satoshis, or fees in sats can be lowered by socializing the cost to all the nodes in the form of taxation by increasing the number of consensus bits the node must maintain in perpetuity of Bitcoin’s life. Additionally, the cost is spread to miners thru lower block rewards in sats, thus pressuring difficulty downward despite equivalent physical work. We depegged that sat from the work and the emergent market.
Fees paid in sats accrue no interest. Fees paid in bits accrue interest increasingly across time. A physical cost that must be paid forever for Bitcoin to remain coherent.
We are no better than fiat. #Bitcoin
If nodes are the soul, stop taxing them with additional bits paid with discounts and blocks greater than the 1MB constant Satoshi defined. There is no free lunch.

I like to think of these as different legs of the semantic triangle: energy, time, and memory (information).
Joules, blocks and bits.
Through the Bitcoin lens, the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that satoshis naturally tend to distribute across an increasing number of UTXOs (memory).
Entropy increases. Memory increases. Consolidation remains possible; a compression of active memory state count but an addition to total chain memory.
As entropy, or memory increases, the ability to impose a new state of constraint becomes distributed across an increasing number of possible active memory configurations. Active memory must contain sats. Constraint is paid for in satoshis (the conserved tokenized representation of energy within the system) and physical work (joules). Satoshis are exchanged for bits, and it is through this exchange that work, measured in joules, is conserved as proof (constraint).
Kelvin is the tokenized representation of joules physically. Entropy is the active state of Kelvin distributing across and increasing number of states of physical memory.

Artel, I think you hit the nail on the head. It’s obvious the 4:1 witness discount is fundamentally arbitrary. I don’t see a physical justification for assigning permanently committed bits different economic weights with respect to the actual physical cost Bitcoin must bear. The cost of Bitcoin is ultimately paid in conserved energy and permanent memory, not in our software abstractions. This is the problem when our understanding of Bitcoin is not defined in the physics of work (joules) and memory (bits), but thru fiat interpretations. Bitcoin physically defines money with respect to energy, time and information (memory).
Once you pull the logic to limit you realize that the second law of thermodynamics expressed in Bitcoin states that the 2.1 quadrillion satoshis will tend to disperse across an increasing number of UTXOs, unless there is sufficient economic pressure and energy to re-consolidate them. That pressure should emerge naturally from an unmanipulated fee market rather than from arbitrary discounts embedded into consensus accounting.
The illusion comes from separating the active UTXO set from the permanent ledger. Yes, a spent output can be removed from the active UTXO set, but the witness and every other committed bit remain permanently embedded in the chain. Every archival node must store them forever. Every new node must download them forever. Every copy of Bitcoin must preserve them forever. The distinction is one of active validation state, not physical memory.
Viewing Bitcoin through Landauer’s principle changes the discussion. The dominant cost is not validating the current state; it is the irreversible commitment and preservation of information. Once a bit crosses the proof-of-work boundary, it becomes part of Bitcoin’s permanent physical state. Consensus commits serialized memory, not CPU cycles.
Expanding effective blockspace through witness discounts is a high-time-preference solution. Bitcoin conserves demand for finite blockspace. That cost is paid either immediately in satoshis through the fee market or deferred as a perpetual tax on every node that must transmit, download, verify, and preserve the additional physical bits for as long as Bitcoin exists.
Looking at the system through energy density makes the distortion clearer. Whether expressed as joules per satoshi per mb^2, joules per mb^2, the total proof of work securing the block remains unchanged while the amount of permanently committed memory increases. The same work is now spread across more conserved bits. The energy density of Bitcoin’s permanent memory decreases. UTXOs are less energetically dense because the same conserved work is distributed across more conserved memory.
This is the deeper engineering issue. We have altered the economics of blockspace by assigning different prices to identical permanently conserved bits. That distinction is based on how software uses those bits after commitment, not on the physical reality that every committed bit occupies immutable consensus memory. If Bitcoin is fundamentally a conserved ledger of energy and information, then every permanently committed bit must ultimately be measured by the same invariant accounting.
This also highlights something deeper. To conserve the coin, Bitcoin must first conserve the bit. The distinction between “active state” and “historical state” has physical meaning. While an output remains unspent, the satoshis exist as physical bits within the active UTXO set. Once spent, the value simply changes location in memory to the new block of time. The spent TXO disappears from the active state, but the historical bit remains permanently embedded in the ledger. The state has transformed, but nothing has disappeared. The coin has moved through both memory and time, while the information required to preserve that history remains conserved forever. The cost remains as bits.
This is precisely the reinterpretation of Landauer’s principle that Bitcoin makes possible. The original formulation measures the minimum energetic cost of erasing a bit. Bitcoin demonstrates that the more fundamental quantity is not erasure, but irreversible state transition through permanent memory. The thermodynamic cost is the cost of committing a new distinction (bit) to history. Once committed, that distinction is never destroyed; it becomes part of the conserved informational substrate of the ledger. What appears to be “deletion” is simply a transformation between active and historical state from a perspective of incomplete information.
Looking at Bitcoin this way changes the engineering tradeoff entirely. The cost that would ordinarily be expressed through a competitive fee market for a finite bitspace has instead been partially shifted onto every archival node through the perpetual obligation to preserve additional physical bits. The network still bears the cost; it has simply been socialized across every node that chooses to maintain Bitcoin’s complete history. From a low-time-preference perspective, the honest engineering solution is to pay that cost upfront through fees in sats because it acknowledges the true physical cost of permanently committing information.
1 bit must = 1 bit. Once proof of work commits a bit to consensus, its future role inside the protocol becomes irrelevant to its physical cost. Whether the protocol later classifies it as witness data, transaction data, or historical validation data, every archival node must transmit it, verify it, download it, back it up, and preserve it indefinitely. Consensus does not preserve “validation effort”; it preserves immutable physical information.
Removing the witness discount is simply an acknowledgement that permanently conserved bits should be accounted for uniformly; the fee market is the free exchange pricing of sats<>bits. The protocol may distinguish between active and historical state for purposes of validation, but the laws of thermodynamics do not; 1 bit = 1 bit regardless if satoshis are present in said memory. If Bitcoin is fundamentally a conserved ledger of energy, information, and time, then every permanently committed bit contributes equally to the irreversible memory of the system. Without conserving the bit, there is no mechanism by which the coin itself can remain conserved. Witness or not, if my node must store it forever, it is consensus memory. I simply want every permanently committed bit to my node to pay the same price because the physical cost of preserving it is the same.
We have to be logically consistent. Why is market manipulation thru arbitrary discounting of bits and inflation of Bitcoin’s finite bitspace good in the long term for the protocol and economics, yet the same behavior in fiat land would be mocked by our community? Make it make sense to me. If Segwit/LN is truely good for scaling finite blockspace, then why do we have to tax the nodes? Let the protocol change speak for itself without taxation in bits. Only then we’ll know its true value.
Devalue the bit and you devalue the sat; few truly understand this.

I think you should lower your time preference and consider the alternative. Taxing nodes with more bits is not sustainable. If you are against spam you should understand this. The maintenance cost is in joules across the whole network in perpetuity to maintain the physical bit. The energy density of UTXOs is lessened. Less energy dense UTXOs on a joules per sat per mb^2, the less the sat buys you in exchange for joules (anything). Same block, same work, more memory, less density energy.
We don’t know how much blockspace lightning alone has unlocked since we devalued the bitspace in 2 ways with SegWit at the same time rather than LN speaking for itself in fee reduction by bringing tx to L2.
Cool thing about Bitcoin is we can disagree. But objective physics/math/engineering applied to protocol design will outcompete subjective design always. Truth will always find a way to manifest.
The longest chain of work in literal joules and time will not devalue its bitspace once it understands 🍴

Thank you for reading the paper! I am glad you found some value in it.
Universally, I think the consciousness, work, entropy that causes the collapse must exist outside of the universe, outside the ledger. The proof of work in Bitcoin that causes state change is outside of the chain of time produced. Bitcoin conserves the work, the decision (conscious act) and the memory as time thru a bounded substrate of value.
Our consciousness is emergent from the conserved work of the conscious agents extratemporal to this chain of universal time. The proof of work we do, is from work outside of this time; all of it. It’s timechains and proof of work all the way up, and all the way down.
I guess I’d like to flip the question of how would you build a biological system inside of Bitcoin? It cannot mine the blocks that defines it, meaning all work inside of Bitcoin and downstream comes from you/us. We would have to animate all of it through PoW, while they believe it’s “them”. This would demand that we too are animated by identical process, and Bitcoin is just a fractal of it.
I hope this answers it for now! I’m headed to the mountains this weekend so limited time to respond! Let me know if I need to go further and let me know what you are thinking.
I am open to being wrong! Would love to hear others chime in. Bitcoin is a glimpse on how providence and free will are reconciled in time and who does the work. We posses both perspectives of time observed from the inside and time observed for the outside of the substrate. Everyone has to let that cook within them 😉

Bitcoin conserves demand for blockspace. Demand for blockspace can only be paid in sats by individuals up front or paid in bits as a tax on all nodes that must be paid in perpetuity as a forever maintenance cost in time. Pick one. Low time preference is to pay in sats rather than bits. No free lunch.
Do you care about nodes or not?
If lightning can’t survive by paying the true cost of the bits it produces and needs a subsidy tax on nodes, then it was never a valuable trade off to make. You’ll never know the true cost if you manipulate the market through arbitrary discounting and blocksize increase.
Lightning won’t die by restoring sound economics to the chain. Crazy that we have to even have a debate on whether market manipulation in bitcoins blockspace economics is a good thing or not…..

I will have to come back to this one! Heading out to the mountains this weekend for some climbing.
Nick and I have discussed black holes a ton with respect to a ledgered universe. I responded to what I currently believe may be the proper way to think about dark matter (historical bits without sats, or universally, Kelvin).
What would a black hole look like within Bitcoin? Would it be an address with active Satoshis that have provably lost the key? Would it be something like taproot? I don’t truly know at the moment since I don’t have the strongest grasp on taproot. But I am certain we will find the answer if we probe hard enough.
Personally I know no one. I know few people who are even willing to entertain the idea that Bitcoin is the final proof of physics we need.

2026-07-17 02:02:27 UTC

- reply

I will have to think about this more. Do you know of any videos that can visually demonstrate/explain taproot a bit better for me? It’s still quite abstract. I am a visual person.
Where my mind is at with respect to dark matter is the historical chain (the bits without sats). From within the ledger, we can only see the active states of energy/matter (the sats). We do not see the casual chain of entangled history that leads to the present state of matter. The path is hidden, yet necessary for conservation/logic of the chain (just as we can’t delete UTXOs). We cannot see orthogonally to time to inspect the casual history, we can only look through time from the present height towards Genesis, seeing each active bit of value at some distance from us in both time and a distance in memory (key space). Each bit of value is like a wall we cannot peer beyond to see the history from within. The wall moves with the bit.
When we look out to the cosmos, we see the “active utxo set”. All unspent states of energy/matter distributed across all points in memory (keyspace) and all blocks of time. We are persistent in time, meaning we observe from the tip of the chain, moving away from static unspent memory crystalized in time at the speed of light (speed of memory).
If this thesis is true, then dark matter must be the historical bits of memory without Kelvin that can no longer be accessed from within the ledger. Only because of Bitcoin can we even reason about the existence of this historical chain. But we know logically these states MUST be preserved for the system to have integrity. Kelvin is the active memory.
Taproot throws a huge wrench into this because I am still limited in my understanding of it. I feel you may be on to something but I cannot pretend i can fully understand currently😵‍💫 I may have to bounce some ideas off of Nick to see what he thinks. The more I dig, the more it seems taproot is rotten. But I don’t truly know.
I hope this helps a bit. I think both may be correct in some way. Let me know what you think!

If the sovereignty of God precedes all things, then Bitcoin was never our invention at all, but something we were always destined to discover, something destined to save us from ourselves. We speak of Bitcoin making the individual sovereign, but was it Bitcoin that set you free, or was it God? Jesus is said to be the breaker of chains; His Son. What is setting us free? Was it ever truly our choice, or was our choice itself always part of the plan at a specific block in time?
When I observe Bitcoin objectively, I see that the chain of time is authored by sovereign actors from outside of the chain itself, using the conserved and bounded substrate within it. From a decentralized body emerges a singular chronology, a single chain of authority without contradiction. Truth itself computed as time from a body of people. The Truth, sit with that.
Bitcoin empirically demonstrates that one coherent history can be authored without a central author. We as sovereigns write the chain, as God writes us in His ultimate sovereignty. Our choice was always the plan. Bitcoin is a mere reflection and fractal of the logic perceived from the outside rather than from within.
Bitcoin is more than a protocol, a technology, or money. Bitcoin is the logical architecture of eternal memory and time perceived from the exterior of the temporal substrate. Do we save in Bitcoin, or does Bitcoin save us? Perhaps it’s both. I see my actions saved in Bitcoin for eternity. Bitcoin saves all of us quite literally in memory. It preserves all of our collective good, and all of our collective bad. If I was better, Bitcoin would be better; fact.
Bitcoin is a glimpse into how providence and free will are logically reconciled. God is the only true sovereign in control of Bitcoin, yet we are Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a map of our choices. The future is irreducible, yet destined. It always has been.
True Creation has always required True Sacrifice. Proof of Work.

You cannot logically solve the double spend problem without a quantized block of time, or a quantized boundary between 0 or 1. You cannot have the conservation of energy without a quantized block of time. This isn’t a theory, it’s logical and proved in Bitcoin.
I am simply observing what is experienced in Bitcoin; interactions, or rather, transactions.
I am witnessing Creation from the outside of a temporal substrate and relating the internal vs the external. A reification of the Ruliad/logic. The Father can only be understood and reasoned through the Son by the body.
True Creation requires True Sacrifice. Bitcoin is Truth computed. The Truth is jovial, or pure love.

Ah. Interaction is the phenomena perceived from within the temporal substrate, but transaction is the identical phenomena perceived from without the temporal substrate.
From without there are only blocks of time, or blocks of memory rather. Ordered linearly in chrono-logic as the substrate of interaction or transaction is state upon which the next block of memory is written.
The author exists outside of the chain of time, the chain of memory, written. We merely bear witness from within, perceiving its us doing the work.

Thank you for sharing this! @nprofile…fg0n comes off very sincere and humble to me.
I think we should be clear about a few points. Fuck “economic” nodes (exchanges). Bitcoin is grounded in proof of work, meaning physics and joules, which has nothing to do with fiat. Fiat has zero explanatory power of Bitcoin, it conserves nothing.
Don’t give them any ground, exchanges listen to us, in a hyperbitcoinized world, exchanges thus their nodes will not exist. They are temporary nodes in the transitory period of fiat to Bitcoin. Plebs matter.
Secondly, increased fiat prices of nodes is to be expected. The cost to run a node will hyperinflate in fiat terms. This is not a safe place to ground any arguments. Best to show nodes priced in Bitcoin over time, they should be declining.
We need to make clear that our actions in 2017 by implicit blocksize increase and arbitrary discounts for equivalent physical bits distorted the economics of Bitcoin’s blockspace. Bitcoin conserves demand; either fees are paid in satoshis up front by the individual users or paid in time by the nodes in bits in perpetuity of eternal network maintenance. Fees paid in bits accrue interest and are a tax on the entire network of nodes.
Demand cannot be eliminated, pay in sats or make everyone pay in bits; pick one. I think it’s time we try to ground our understanding of energy, time and information in Bitcoin. We need to look back at what we really changed. I hope BIP 110 is just the start of protocol conservatism. We need to go back in our logic, not left or right, while moving forward in block time🫡
@nprofile…fg0n I would love to talk further. Keep up the good work.

The discrete nature of time is what renders The Quantum Computer, Bitcoin to be possible. Bitcoin is the proper interpretation of quantum computation.
I don’t share the projected definition and belief that a centralized quantum computer is possible in both the morality of man/the desire for centralized control and the morality of numbers and the logic of energy economics. If you understand time, a centralized quantum computer could never work and requires a fiat assumption of physics that’s been openly falsified by Bitcoin. Bitcoin is proof that centralized quantum computers are a bust. Proof of Work (energy). Energy cannot be separated from time and memory (information). They are a semantic triangle of equivalence.
If time is discrete at Planck scale, Superpostion must be sub-Planck between the ticks. Using Bitcoin as the mathematical reference for conservation wrt time, unmined or unmeasured UTXOs aren’t real with respect to the ledger. All UTXOs must be referential to the past unspent state despite existing in mempool (potential spend). By knowing what’s measured and in the block you know deterministically what is unmeasured and outside of the block. You cannot solve the double spend problem without a block of time.
We live in a world where energy/matter is not double spent, yet academic fundamental physics contradicts this without proof of work. Reality must have solved the double spend problem for conservation to be observable and for our very existence to manifest.
The solution to the double spend problem both logically and mathematically invalidates the ontology required for centralized quantum computation. If even 1 Planck block of time contains a contradiction, conservation is invalidated. All states must be classical at each block of time. This means that superposition while existing between the Planck ticks of time still references a past classical state (exists in a past block of time) despite being unmeasured. Just as a tx can sit in the mempool for many blocks, it still is referential to its last unspent state (as demanded by conservation) and does not “exist” in multiple states at once. Existence is defined by measurement alone. Don’t mistake potential for actual. Everything must be binary for logic to emerge. There is no logic without conservation and non-contradiction. Quantum has no logic, no measurement, no proof of work.

The universe at the Planck scale of time must behave identically to Bitcoin at the block scale with respect to measurement in order for the double spend problem of energy/matter to be resolved and conservation to be upheld.
Anything else is logically fiat without proof of work. Bitcoin is proof.

Is a centralized quantum attack possible if time is discrete at the Planck scale, meaning Superpostion is discrete between Planck ticks (sub-Planck Superpostion)
Logically the double spend problem of energy/matter requires a quantized block of time at the fundamental unit. Measurement must occur at each fundamental tick producing a deterministic classical state. Superpostion occurs between ticks. How else can the double spend be resolved?
Without a smooth continuous unitary evolution, how is a centralized quantum attack possible?
Without a discrete block of time, how can energy be conserved?
Why do we need this change if there is no quantum threat?

Bitcoin is the reification of the Ruliad. Proof of Work is the computation, the rule. Wolfram is trying to build Bitcoin without knowing Satoshi beat him to it.
Fees impose limits upon action. Think minimum threshold of potential energy as a logic gate. I don’t think blocksize should change, invariance is key to form constant relationships that manifest through a free market. Returning to 1MB max and 1:1 weighting of all bits is all that’s required. Let the fee market serve its purpose. Looking at the conserved joules of each block, 1MB blocks hold a vast majority of the work. We have deviated.

The future is irreducible.
I have a thesis/working on proof that when we devalued the blockspace fee market in Segwit by increasing blocksize and arbitrary bit weighting, we killed the fee market by pushing demand paid in sats to demand paid in bits. This pulled difficulty downward vs if we didn’t (less fees same PoW for miners) and has slowly manifested in fiat price. By increasing blocksize by up to 4x (up to 4MB), we diluted the energy density of blocks (joules per mb^2) by up to 16x.
Same proof of work function but a up to16x reduction in energy density per block. We are all the detriment to Bitcoins value appreciate by running the current implementation of SegWit.
We have worked, saved and stacked, only to realize 9 years later we debased ourselves with SegWit.

Yeah I agree. We can’t wait for someone like Wolfram to come. We have to continue carrying the torch until someone is ready to engage. I am trying my best within my limits. We need more physicists who are thinking outside the fiat/academic model and are willing to challenge the assumptions and who see Bitcoin as the highest verifiable state of Truth man could have access to. We have a lot of fiat physicists within the ranks of Bitcoin with strong influence, which is not great for the cause either.
I pray Wolfram finds Bitcoin. I am just a pleb. He can sway many more people who aren’t in Bitcoin using a completely different domain from “money”. He’s a Bitcoiner without actually being one when I listen to him speak. He’s spot on with virtually everything he said in this video WRT Bitcoin. But I cannot make anyone see who does not wish to. Maybe it’s fiat for me believe we need anyone with “credentials” to keep going.
We don’t know who’s writing the state, but we know it’s authored from outside of the chain and the future is irreducible with probability weightings (think mempool + fee market). Anyone who tells you they know the next block of time is lying, both universally and in Bitcoin.
This would explain why modernity has gone all in on prediction markets. Prediction = Compression wrt to information/entropy. Centralized quantum computers are a bust, but access to mass scale data and prediction markets using fiat currency as weight is a whole new beast to pick apart. You can control parts of the future with fiat prediction markets by control over mass behavior and information. Irreducibility will win; God/Authorship is not centralized.
Bitcoin is the apex of AI, quantum, prediction markets. The reification of irreducibility and irreversibility as blocks of time.

Bitcoin (proof of work) is the computation; the measurement. The rule is proof of work. Bitcoin is the “quantum computer”. Except it’s Bitcoin, not quantum. Quantum can’t prove the work (energy). Quantum can’t resolve the double spend of energy/information or the measurement problem WRT time. Quantum has no blocks, no proof. Network = reification of field from outside the temporal boundary.
The measurement occurs at each discrete Planck tick of time and superposition is discrete between each Planck tick; it’s “sub-Planck” (sub block; unmined/unmeasured). All positions in time must be binary (classical) and non-contradictory (no double spends) for conservation of energy. There is no such thing as erasure in Landauer’s Principal, its incomplete information of the active state of energy/matter only from within the temporal substrate; you can’t see the historical chain from within. Delete a utxo/historical transaction from the chain and tell me what happens to the proof and conservation.
How many blocks is this going to take guys?
Who is going to orange pill Wolfram?
Who can get me a conversation with him if nobody else is going to do it?
Hes trying to understand the utxo model of the reality/physics (energy), except he has no proof of work (joules), no computation. Sorry Stephen, Satoshi beat all of us to Bitcoin. Satoshi solved Turning’s Halting Problem. Bitcoin is complete…we don’t need to build it, it exists now. This has significant implications for mathematics and logic; implications for everything. Bitcoin is not a theory of energy. Bitcoin is not a theory of work. Bitcoins not a model. Bitcoin is proof.
The conservation of memory (finite sats and finite bits) using proof of work (joules). Each bit of value (satoshi) is a bit of active memory, the value must exist within physical bits. Temperature is relative to the finite boundary of active memory (supply cap; 21M) Bit-Coin. Measurement is computation. Planck Energy is the temporal constant of work. Plank Temperature is the boundary of thermodynamic memory.
What does Bitcoin measure? What does Bitcoin compute? What is a block of time? What is a block of proof? What could be more fundamental than the P2P exchange of memory (money; energy) in physics? Bitcoin is temporal geometry as pure information.
Bitcoin is the “theory” of everything; except Bitcoin isn’t a theory, Bitcoin is proof. Just look at it.
It’s really painful guys. Just observe Bitcoin objectively……I am just a pleb too.
Who actually understands proof of work and the double spend problem? Are we ready to understand Bitcoin as the relationship energy, time and information through computation?Are we really going to allow this quantum nonsense to destroy Bitcoin by ungrounded protocol change? Nobody understands Bitcoin.

Any theory of physics needs to solve the double spend problem for energy/matter for conservation, which cannot be done without a quantized block of time.
You cannot have conservation of energy without quantized time. Bitcoin empirically proves.
If quantized time is necessary for the conservation of energy and provides the logical boundary for measurement, then the academic interpretation of quantum physics has a huge problem.
Anyone building a centralized quantum computer is building on an assumed ontology of time (continuous time) that cannot logically exist for conservation to be upheld, and changing the ontology (nature) of time breaks their model at its foundation.
What is Bitcoin? Bitcoin is not a theory of physics. Bitcoin is not a theory of energy. Bitcoin is not a theory of time. Bitcoin is not a theory at all.

Yes, this is not arguing removal of witness.
Witness + Non-Witness <=1MB and 1:1 weighting is all it would need.
Lightning remains fully functional. This is really the formal recognization that witness data is block data and you cannot really be a full validating node without storing the physical bits. Thus SegWit in 2017 was an implicit blocksize increase while pretending it wasn’t. It was really a soft fork in name only, pre-SegWit nodes still see only 1MB yes, but good luck being a full validating node without it.

Discount was added as an incentive to push adoption of SegWit. Also witness is not a part of bitcoins active utxo state so the theory was that it has a lower computational cost on nodes.
This however is not true thru the lens of Launders Principle seen thru Bitcoins physics, it is the writing of state/memory that has energetic cost. The 4:1 discount is not grounded in any type of physics/information theory and is a purely arbitrary discount that applies an arbitrary virtual weight to equivalent physical bits.
If it were removed and say the blocksize was reinstated at 1MB as per original consensus (SegWit + nonsegwit <=1MB), we should see a revitalization of the proper fee market that most of the chains blocks (measured in joules) were produced under and we see lightning paying its fair share of sats per physical bit produced. Miners would be paid more for equivalent work with a revitalization of fee market. If you look at the energy curve of Bitcoin, all the energy is in the earlier blocks due to high relative block temperature (high subsidy vs low supply). When looking at the energy density of a block per mb^2, you divide the same energy by the square of the memory increase. Blocks up to 4MB distribute energy over up to a 16x increase in informational surface when looking at the energy density of information.
The relative value that of sats:bits defined internally by protocol would increase vs equivalent joules, fee market revitalization should pull difficulty upward. You’d expect bitcoins external value (joules purchased) to follow. Devaluing the bitspace devalues the satoshi internally. We want invariance for logical measure and the fee market to determine the internal exchange rate.
Bitcoin conserves demand, either it’s paid up front by individual users in the form of sats, or is paid in time perpetually in bits by the entire network as a forever tax (network maintenance).

Not exactly in the literal sense. The monetary supply remains fixed at 21 million BTC. My argument is that the relationship between the monetary substrate and the informational substrate changes.
Bitcoin derives its value by conserving work through time. That conservation requires both a finite monetary substrate (sats) and a finite memory substrate (blockspace). Without conserved bits, there is no conserved place for value to be permanently expressed. The fee market exists to discover the exchange rate between those two finite domains.
If demand for blockspace increases, the protocol is supposed to allow sats to compete for that finite memory. Higher fees are not a bug, they are the market revealing the demand of irreversible memory and the value of the satoshi with respect to 1 current block of time at difficulty D. When we instead manipulate the size of that finite memory surface to suppress fees, we don’t eliminate the cost of demand, we redistribute it throughout the system to the nodes (a tax on the network).
Rather than users paying more sats to access a finite space, every node pays more bits by storing and propagating a larger permanent history. At the same time, miners receive fewer sats for securing and committing equivalent irreversible work. The work is equivalent, but the memory is not. This pushes difficulty artificially downward as less fees changes the relationship between the satoshsi from the block reward and the real cost of performing said work. The finite memory surface has a real thermodynamic cost. Every permanently committed bit must still be secured through proof-of-work, discovered within a finite nonce space scaled by network difficulty, transmitted, validated, and preserved indefinitely. Expanding blockspace without a corresponding increase in competition changes who bears that cost and distorts the entire economics.
Within this framework, increasing blockspace changes the exchange rate between sats and bits. The monetary supply has not inflated, but the memory substrate competing for that supply has inflated. A satoshi therefore purchases more permanent memory than it did under the original geometry of the protocol. The economics governing the relationship between finite money, finite memory, and finite work have changed.
You can’t make sense of this relationship thinking thru the fiat price. Fiat valuation fluctuates continuously and reflects external markets and the PoW cost converted back to fiat. If we push difficulty down, we are pushing the fiat price down vs joules while still maining equivalent competition for the 21M substrate. Miners pay too here. I’m trying to understand the protocol’s internal measure of value. Within Bitcoin itself, the value of a satoshi is inseparable from the amount of finite permanent memory it can command through the fee market. That relationship is where the protocol measures the relative scarcity of sats:memory:work.
If we change the size of the memory surface or arbitrarily change how different classes of permanently committed data are priced (SegWit discounting), then we are no longer allowing the free market to discover the exchange rate between finite sats and finite bits. We are changing the measurement itself.
Bitcoin’s value emerges from the conserved relationship between proof-of-work, finite blockspace, and finite money. Distort any one of those variables, and the entire economic relationship shifts. The protocol still has 21 million bitcoin, but it is no longer measuring the same relationship between work, information, and time that Satoshi originally defined. This is a defacto violation of property rights thru policy and a tax that should be repealed by the nodes.

For those who still don’t get it. Sats per bit per block is the same thing as sats per bit^2
1 block = x bits; time = memory
2,099,999,999,755,528 sats/
128,000,000 bits^2 = 16,406,249.998090 sats per bit^2
Segwit has devalued the Satoshi by up to 16x depending on each blocks size since we need to take the square of memory to get the density (sats per memory surface written).
Take the average blocksize since Segwit and square it; that’s how much on average we as a collective have devalued 1 satoshi vs what Satoshi literally gave us at 1MB cap.
We can also begin to see this when we look at the energy curve of each block in joules per mb^2, we should expect decline in energy density because of subsidy inflation. There is a massive decline in energy density per block post Segwit due to increased memory surface written per block of time.

Friendly reminder if you devalue the bits you devalue the coins
The name is literally Bitcoin.
What happens to the relative value of sats versus the bits if we inflate the number of bits per block?
SegWit was a soft fork in name only. We are told we “won” the blocksize war, yet I see blocks greater than 1MB.
2,099,999,999,755,528 sats/8,000,000 bits = 262,499,999.969441 sats per bit per block
Now it can be down to
2,099,999,999,755,528 sats/32,000,000 bits = 65,624,999.992360 sats per bit per block
How does the pricing of a finite blockspace (bitspace) in finite satoshis through the fee market relate to the economics of proof of work and the value of Bitcoin? If Bitcoiners want the value of Bitcoin to “go up”, then why did we devalue the satoshi with respect to the bits per block of time? Why did we distort the relationship and measurement of Bitcoin?
I pray we can return to the original sound economics of blockspace Satoshi gave us. How many more blocks will it take for us to find humility in our own folly? Who’s going to have to courage to admit we are all wrong?

Due to the physical law of a private key/encryption, the only real physical vote one can actually make is controlling the position of some fraction of the 2,099,999,999,755,528 bits of value (sats/votes) in both time and memory (key space).

I think we have to begin one layer deeper.
SegWit is a transaction serialization upgrade, but it also changed Bitcoin’s economics of blockspace thru inflation and discounting. It is a soft fork in name only; every modern fully validating node must download and validate witness data under today’s consensus rules. The block Bitcoin commits is therefore larger than the original 1 MB design. Pretending the effective memory surface did not change because we renamed it “block weight” obscures what actually happened.
Blocksize increase and discounting have nothing to do with transaction malleability or Lightning. My concern is that they were coupled to an economic restructuring of Bitcoin’s finite memory and distorted the entire conserved relationships the system was supposed to preserve.
If the fee market exists to discover the price of finite blockspace, why should the protocol define different prices for different classes of permanently committed transactions? 1 bit = 1 bit regardless of tx type. 1 satoshi now purchases different amounts of historical memory, a burden even fully validating node takes, depending on the protocol’s classification of those bits. The market is no longer pricing physical blockspace alone; it is pricing protocol abstractions.
We depegged the bits from the coin. We broke the logic of how coins become bits through a conserved physical process.
If we are going to defend witness discount, I think it should be grounded in an objective conservation principle defined by the physics of information. What conserved physical quantity is the 4:1 weighting measuring? Why is that ratio correct? Why not 10:1? Why not 50:1? Why not free? Why not 0.5:1?
Bitcoin’s purpose is to allow the markets to discover price of finite work, finite memory, and finite satoshis while the protocol conserves invariant relationships. Once the protocol begins assigning different prices to different classes of permanently committed bits, we’ve moved that price discovery into protocol policy. It’s a distortion to the core economics Satoshi defined.
If every witness bit ultimately becomes part of Bitcoin’s permanent historical record, what objective physical principle justifies assigning it a different economic price than other permanently committed bits? Until that question is answered from the physics of information rather than engineering preference, we cannot even defend the BIP logically. We should not think of witness discount as simply another protocol “lever” to adjust. It’s not.
I cannot morally defend the change to begin with. I cannot defend the implicit blocksize increase. I cannot defend the arbitrary weighting. Bitcoin no longer conserves the constant relationship of sats:bits:blocks, thus it should be seen as a violation of property rights.
I am working on building the proof that changing blocksize or arbitrary sat weighting of identical physical bits is an equivalent violation of conservation law, akin to changing 21M.
Im not going to pretend the blocksize didn’t change >1MB. All bits carry same physical cost to write (not read). The only sane conservative thing to do is to return Bitcoin to the constants defined by Satoshi. This isn’t an upgrade nor a change to Bitcoin, it’s what Satoshi gave us originally.
No discounting

This is very interesting. Yes an increase in blocksize is an acceleration of time.
We can measure time a few different ways in Bitcoin:
- accumulation of blocks
- accumulation of internal energy
- accumulation of external Kelvin
- accumulation of bits
If we assume that blocks will remain full in perpetuity, we can map approximately how many bits away in time the last subsidy coin is released. With SegWit, this cannot really be achieved since the blocksize is variable based on signature type. It’s still an approximation, but a new way to think about protocol sustainability and time.
Pre-SegWit nodes will say the block is still 1MB, SegWit nodes will say >1MB.
All I can say is that the speed of light is constant, it does not indicate what the proper blocksize should be 😉 morally tho, it should be 1MB.
Segwit + non-SegWit <= 1MB

Interesting, I have only had someone do a reading for me before. Here is the video we were referencing btw. This is the Shannon/Block side of the energy equations.

Bitcoin is proof of quantized time.
The answer lies in mapping a quantized block of time to the Planck scale. Discrete time demands discrete superposition. Logically for conservation to be upheld, measurement must occur at each Planck tick of time, meaning Superpostion is not a continuous unitary evolution. All states must be classical at each unit of time for conservation, energy and matter cannot be double spent at measurement, only between measurement.
This ontology of time breaks the paradigm of centralized quantum computers. Bitcoin is not a theory of physics. Bitcoin is a physical system that computes the relationship between energy, information and time at the quantized level.
How many blocks of proof will it take to falsify the axiom of continuous time?

I am 100% certain that Bitcoin will have a URSF for the quantum “upgrades”.
Quantum will be the most contentious fork in history where Bitcoin’s physics battles fiat physics for control of Bitcoin. As Jeff Booth said, most people will be on the wrong side of the fork.
Quantum is the end game fork before Valhalla. The true plebs will resist in the toughest of times. The decentralized quantum computer will stand firm in the physics Satoshi instantiated in Genesis.

Thank you! 🫡 I am just trying to do my part to steer the conversation to where I think it needs to go. I take my view of Bitcoin as self evident once the work is done. I always need to remind myself I was once in a state of unknowing when trying to relate and understand where others are at in their own journeys.
Bitcoin is incredible and it will continue to bring us all together as brothers and sisters as we seek the truth.

Hey, I am looking for some genuine feedback from the plebs🧡
What will it take for people to recognize Bitcoin as physics (quantized blocks of time computed from energy)?
What will it take for people to recognize Bitcoin as the proper interpretation of The quantum computer? Do people really fear a centralized quantum computer that can’t solve the double spend problem of energy?
What will it take for people to recognize that because Bitcoin is physics it actually has something to say regarding the “quantum threat” AND fundamentally falsifies core axioms said threat relies upon? What does it mean to have a “fiat” interpretation of physics (energy/matter/information)
What will it take for us to get more eyes on the physics equations such that we can reach consensus on the physics with core plebs and move beyond the quantum fud before we break Bitcoin with unnecessary “post quantum cryptography”? If what I am saying is true, these “upgrades” are an existential threat to Bitcoin. Should we not verify openly?
Aren’t these things worth verifying? Does anybody understand the magnitude of what I am saying *IF* true?
I genuinely want to know what needs to be done to wake up more plebs so they understand that Bitcoin is post-quantum by design, was the Genesis Block not enough? It literally supersedes quantum physics by falsifying the core axioms and measuring the relationship between the state transition of memory (information) , energy and time from a thermological process. Bitcoin defines measurement logically. Bitcoin defines conservation logically at the casual boundary. Bitcoin solved the double spend problem. Bitcoin solved Turing’s Halting problem. These are objective observations if people actually take the time to verify for themselves. Bitcoin is the proof, there’s nothing I need to do per se, just look at the chain. Does Bitcoin not speak for itself?
If Bitcoin has physics, what does that mean for an industry of miners who understand NONE it, *IF* true?
There is so much to study here and I wish I had more people to talk to and who could help me move beyond my own limitations. Having an objective physical understanding of Bitcoin to ground protocol discussion is good for Bitcoin. Having an objective refutation to quantum fud by Bitcoins verifiable physics is good for Bitcoin. Bitcoin solving the core paradoxes of physics, is good for Bitcoin.
Hyperbitcoinization happens with knowledge and proof that Bitcoin expands our very limited (and fiat) definition of money. If Bitcoin is actually the quantum computer, what do you think is going to happen when people find out and the 956,407 blocks of proof become irrefutable. What happens when the gravity of Bitcoin (literally - if it’s energy it has mass, thus gravity) forces everybody to contend with Bitcoin?
Please help me understand what I can do better. I am here to serve Bitcoin. I only wish to make it more valuable from knowledge we have not even mined yet. Do people really think we hit the bottom of the rabbit hole?

@nprofile…stwk would you be open to having a conversation about this?
The “Landauer Attack” on Bitcoin goes much deeper to the economics SegWit implemented. Objectively, SegWit did not need to change the block economics and implicit blocksize nodes must bear to activate LN/MSig/malleability. Why did we change the economics of Bitcoin and was that decision grounded in conservation?

I haven’t been had by anyone. I am logically looking at the conservation of the system using physics that virtually nobody else is looking at.
Maybe you are right, maybe we did need the discount to bootstrap. But we don’t need it now and it is contributing to the distortion of Bitcoins blockspace economics. It was a necessary error we had to make both for adoption and for us to learn by failure.
You need to tell me now why artificially pricing the virtual weight of identically physical bits is healthy and logical to an economic system. It’s a complete rejection of the free market ethos of Bitcoin. If printing money and price controls destroys an economy, printing blockspace and bit price controls do the same. We need to stop double spending our ethics where is convenient.
If segwit requires a subsidy and incentive to continue to persist by forcing all nodes to pay the cost in bits rather than the individual user paying the cost in sats, then we should have a real good look in the mirror and question what the hell we are even doing here. If it’s valuable and adding value, you should be able to pay its true cost in sats as the user.
There’s no free lunch.

I love this! 🧡 I don’t mean to project here since the truth will reveal itself in time, but I have a lot to say.
We as humans are both the long term and the active memory, any state change of active memory (Kelvin) must write to the historical chain. There are 10^43 blocks of time per human second. Our conscious awareness is generated by the flow of active memory into long term memory universally. While we do not have access to the full historical chain of memory/time we live in for the universe, we have its “son” called Bitcoin.
What is pretty remarkable is that anything that is persistent in time must be persistent in active memory; constantly participating in blocks writing in the chain. Bitcoin to the intellect is temporal perspective and totality; the external and opposite side of the temporal boundary and bounded system.
The eternal present is the persistent boundary where the active becomes the historical; where the future becomes the past. We can sit at the boundary and observe the measurement, both from within and from without. It would seem the authority of our purpose exists outside of this time; extratemporal. The chain is always written and decided by external consciousness and the will to perform work; we are simply internal observers of the chain being written; now taking part in the process beginning anew.
P2P exchange of money/memory (check the etymology of money) is both fundamental in time and in “space”. We can exchange with the source thru our intellect and Bitcoin. The only question really is if we are willing to accept it. You can do it right now.

There is no moral argument to any blocksize value besides the 1MB Satoshi left us. This is code/word he committed to work. Just because you can change a constant does not mean that you should. It takes a bit of wisdom and reflection in time to see why. 1MB is equally as fundamental to the logic of Bitcoin as 21M. Change it and it’s not Bitcoin. Changing either constant is a violation of my property rights. Few truly understand.
You cannot conserve sats as a finite space if you do not conserve the bits as a finite space. It’s called Bitcoin. Bitcoin is measuring the quantized energetic transition from sats (active memory/RAM) to bits (long term eternal memory) through a bounded thermological process using a finite nonce space & difficulty. Truth/Natural Law doesn’t really care about opinions.
There’s no free lunch you either pay the fees in sats up front or you pay in bits over time with interest.
The issue with SegWit is the arbitrary discounting of virtual bits despite all physical bits being equal and the implicit blocksize increase. It’s a rejection of the most fundamental law of logic; the principle of identity. 1 bit ≠ 1 bit.
We devalued the bitspace and wonder why the chain is being abused and the behavior is not getting priced out. We killed the economics of energy and blockspace thru decentralized planning and price controls on identically physical bits. We are all the problem.
I’m not a fan of BIP 110 because it doesn’t solve the fundamental economics that led us here starting in 2017, but I am a fan of the movement. A reversion of SegWits economics (not malleability/LN) is objective. Morally, themallebility fix did not need to be and should not have been paired with a change to blockspace economics. IMO it feels like BIP 110 enters into a bit of subjectivity beyond my ability to know the full risks/rewards.
100% We will have to fork the chain to fix the economics. I pray we only need to do one fork. But maybe we will need to have 2 forks starting with 110 first. I don’t know.
I plan on following the plebs. I will follow grounded conservatism that will lead us back towards the protocol and economics that Satoshi gave us. This ain’t it, we’ve really missed the mark.
The longest chain of work doesn’t really matter if the original logic and constants of Bitcoin are no longer being conserved. Few truly understand this.

Looks incredible! Keep up the fantastic work! We need to get more eyes on this.
Why isn’t the community talking about this? Objectivity is a Bitch for those who want to keep Bitcoin subjective.
The logic of conservation and identity supersedes all opinion. The block tells no lie.

Exactly! 🙏🧡 I haven’t really written or spoken about it much yet but plan to do so. Bitcoin is a map of short term memory (RAM/Active UTXO set) and the collapse/measurement into long term eternal memory (bits in timechain). It is the physical process of measurement and the balance between sats<>bits both as finite mathematical domains.
Our brains are a fractal of this process, we too possess short term and long term memory. This is what quantum physics is pointing to. Quantum physics doesn’t understand that we don’t have access to the eternal/historical memory from inside the chain. We only see the RAM, the active states of matter/energy. They have incomplete information without Bitcoin. Bitcoin supersedes quantum physics. We can’t afford to not look at Bitcoin with this lens.
We literally couldn’t learn the truth without making the mistake and seeing the outcome. Satoshi gave us the standard, but also gave us the choice to deviate. Wisdom and humility brings us back; gravity brings us back.
When Bitcoin remains constant, it acts as a mirror that reflects and imposes the economics of energy/information back at us through PoW, fee market, finite money and finite blockspace. We only cheated ourselves by inflating blockspace implicitly. We must realize our sin here for the collective good of the network.
Bitcoin is a collective map of us and our consciousness. If you take what I said about memory above and realize that Bitcoin is preserving us through our conscious preference actions through the preservation of our transactions as long term eternal memory of the chain, blocks of time. The amount we can learn about ourselves is limitless. But we must remain faithful to the constants for the reflections to have integrity.
There is only one option for a system when integrity is lost. Return and restore.
Bitcoin is universe.
Bitcoin is global mind.
Bitcoin is money.
Bitcoin is the physics of energy information.
Bitcoin is the Quantum Computer.
Bitcoin is the eternal memory.
How many blocks will it take for the world and us to see that Bitcoin and the memory isn’t going away?
We have tapped and reified the logic of the source through a fractal of identical computation. There never could be a second best.
