The Bitcoin network doesn't just tell time, it appears to manufacture it. Most clocks are passive. They observe a rhythm. They report what already exists. Bitcoin creates a temporal reality by requiring energy to advance it. The chain is less like a record of history, and more like the factory floor where history is being made.
