You Are the Value
Value is intersubjective, computed through highly dimensional, real-time maps of appreciation and demand.
In a world where anything can be claimed or made to appear valuable, the only true sense of value arises from within.
When we trust our intuitive sense of value
Over signals of distortion and corruption
and support those offerings with perfect signal,
a signal that is not only information,
but energy conserved over time
we give life, animacy, becoming, blossoming
to that reality.
When you are the value, Bitcoin comes to you.
You must give to receive.
It is not a transaction, it’s attestation to
the most fundamental law in nature.
Bitcoin is just information
a token, a timestamp, a witness.
We are the value.
We are the source.
When we attest not with words, but with aligned action
the network responds.
It resonates and amplifies.
It conserves, not consumes.
It does not lie, flatter, or coerce.
It simply records
value given, value received.
And so, value becomes truth.
And truth becomes the new reality.
How does one be the value?
Simply, act out of empathy.
Act out of love.
We’ve forgotten how to know each other.
We no longer live with one another
we coexist, but do not commune.
We survive beside each other, but not for each other.
To be the value is to remember.
To ask your community:
“What can I do for you?”
To offer relief, care, and integrity,
quality so undeniable it compels the highest form of money.
Not by force, but by gravity.
People often struggle with this
“What can I do?”
“What do I have to offer?”
When cultivated with devotion,
attention becomes skill,
the conscious becomes unconscious
skill becomes art
and art, when offered freely, becomes medicine.
Still, the simplest path remains:
Be good to each other.
Take care of each other.
Show up. With presence. With kindness.
This is how we heal.
This is how we rebuild the economy.
Not just in markets
but in meaning.
It will not be easy.
We carry thousands of years of pain,
exploitation, and cultural distortion.
But value begins to return
the moment we do.
When money isn’t debasing exponentially, you don’t need to be the next big thing.
You don’t need to chase virality or scale.
You don’t need to be everywhere, everything, all at once.
When money compounds in value over time
when you cultivate patience and stillness of mind
you can afford to focus on quality.
And anything, even the smallest everyday things
can be done with the highest care,
the deepest intention.
And when you see someone do that
when you witness real craftsmanship,
real presence,
real love poured into a simple act
you want to give them Bitcoin.
Not out of charity,
but because you want more of that in the world.
More beauty.
More positivity.
More inspiration
rooted in something true, real, and authentic.
Bitcoin becomes not just money,
but a vote.
A signal.
A thank you.
An attestation that says:
“This is what I value in the world. More of this, please. You are the value.”

Just the other day I heard someone throwing the phrase ‘pain is weakness leaving the body’. the pain we are going through now is dependency, convenience, vulnerability, misdirected energy, undue hierarchical influence, and fiat values leaving my family. What remains is resiliency, security, independence, strength, intelligence, grace, generosity, confidence, authentic knowledge; this isn’t achieved just by holding bitcoin, but by going through the process of stripping your life down to what really matters to you and going all in, seeing and leveraging the results, and then doubling down again, and then again, and again. And when you do that with a network of people who have also gone through the process and know what freedom is built on and use technology to secure the fruits of that cooperative spirit, you realize what freedom is; it IS community, it IS the network you cultivate and contribute to, it is a participatory solution, you are working for each other and your collective freedom. Whoever you choose. the sparse networks of people who are meeting in their communities to discuss how and why to use bitcoin are going to be the leaders of their communities in 10 years because they will have outsized economic resources and the network to keep things civilized, while the rest scramble through the global fiat implosion.
We need technologists and developers for sure, but we also need philosophers and artists and dreamers and mystics to see beyond what we have always been and to constellate inspiration for the masses, visions of being which are both entirely new to us and yet as natural as life on earth.

Freedom isn't not having to work; freedom isn't free. Freedom is being free of the archetypes and constraints of the fiat world, returning to the natural human state, to worlds of our own making, our own truths, the true spirit of humanity. It's the Archaic Revival.

Fiat Mythology: Death, Scarcity, and Dominance
In fiat economies, scarcity is artificially manufactured through inflation, rent-seeking, and monopolization. This creates a worldview where hoarding, conquest, and zero-sum competition are seen as necessary for survival. The idea that “only the strong survive” becomes embedded in culture because, under fiat, those who do not dominate by force are systematically drained out of existence.
With an economic system that punishes saving and depletes wealth over time, the future always appears worse than the past. People subconsciously align with mythologies where death, apocalypse, and collapse are the final destination. This manifests in everything from religious end-times narratives to cultural obsessions with dystopia and archetypes of destruction.
Skulls, crossbones, the reaper, and bulging, hulking, displays of muscle, motor, and power are not just cultural artifacts; they emerge as psychological adaptations to an economic system that makes failure, exploitation, and conflict seem inescapable.
Bitcoin Mythology: Life, Abundance, and Creation
A Bitcoin-based economy, by contrast, is fundamentally non-extractive and non-depleting. This would shift the underlying cultural myths toward creation, cooperation, and abundance, as Bitcoin aligns incentives with life rather than entropy.
When money appreciates in value rather than depreciates, the future becomes something to invest in rather than something to fear. This fosters mythologies of growth, generational wealth, and the long arc of progress.
Because Bitcoin rewards productive value creation, mythologies shift from war and conquest to builders, innovators, and artisans. In a world where wealth isn’t siphoned away by inflation, cooperation and decentralized networks become the dominant survival strategy.
Bitcoin removes the need for centralized control over money, which dissolves fiat-era myths of the “necessary ruler” or the “benevolent overlord.” Instead, new myths emerge around self-reliance, peer-to-peer networks, and decentralized wisdom.
The Shift: From Thanatos to Eros
Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud spoke about the Thanatos (death drive) vs. Eros (life force). Fiat economies force societies into Thanatos-driven mythologies: war, destruction, domination, and eventual collapse. Bitcoin, by aligning incentives with long-term value creation and cooperation, enables an Eros-driven mythos: one of creation, renewal, and generational wealth.
A civilization that moves from fiat to Bitcoin isn’t just changing its money—it’s rewriting its entire cultural and existential narrative.
#bitcoin #bullish
History bends not to the will of rulers, but to the imagination of those who refuse to be ruled. We are not here to tweak the system; we are here to outgrow it, to make it irrelevant. And we do that by embodying the freedom we seek—by living it, by building it, and by extending our hands in good faith to those who are ready to break free.

Yes. The paradox of helping people gain perspective is that they must first want to see. But most do not—either because of fear, inertia, or because their existing narrative structure provides them with a functional, if limited, frame of meaning.
A mind expands only when it chooses to, and that choice is often driven by necessity—some force that pressures it to stretch beyond its prior boundaries. The explorers, pioneers, and builders you speak of are those who must expand their perspectives to survive and thrive. They are compelled forward by an internal tension, a hunger to know and to become.
The Markov blanket is a useful metaphor here—it defines the boundary of perception and action, the edge of what an entity can model. Most people live within this cognitive enclosure without questioning it. But those who sense there is something beyond inevitably push against its edges.
Trying to explain the larger system to those who do not yet see it is often an act of futility—until they have a crack in their enclosure, a moment of rupture, a question that destabilizes them. Until then, any discussion of “higher worlds” is met with dismissal or hostility, because it threatens their narrative stability.
So, is there any helping people? Perhaps only in showing them their own capacity to choose—to recognize their own agency in constructing reality. This is why Bitcoin is a philosopher’s stone: it is an ontological rupture, a fundamental reorientation of economic and social order. It introduces choice where before there was none. And once a person sees they have a choice, they can never fully unsee it.
The question then becomes: how do you create the conditions where people willingly look beyond their enclosure? How do you plant the seeds of curiosity without triggering the defenses of fear?
#bitcoin #alchemy
The future belongs to those who reclaim their sovereignty—not just in wealth, but in mind, culture, and cooperation. We stand at the precipice of a new kind of society, where self-sovereign individuals form a murmuration of integrity, free from coercion, bound only by goodwill and aligned incentives. Bitcoin is the first proof-of-concept for this model, but it is just the beginning. The real revolution is in how we organize ourselves beyond the old hierarchies—toward a dynamic, cybernetic network of free people.

📄.pdfBitcoin is money that naturally evolves toward perfection.
John Nash envisioned “ideal money” as a decentralized, self-correcting medium which emerges from the market. He argued that money should be efficient, transparent, and free from central control—fostering trust and fair value exchange. His concept of asymptotically ideal money means that as more participants adopt equilibrium strategies and the network scales, the system progressively perfects itself, aligning individual incentives with collective stability.

Imagine what this means for society.
You are not bullish enough.
LFG.
