Monitoring Gold, Silver, BTC US imaginary digits values from Sep through now. Here is the pattern you will see with all three charts stacked on top of each other.
Gold and silver are being visually elevated in fiat terms at the same time Bitcoin is visually suppressed in the same unit of account. Same ruler. Different treatment. That alone tells you the ruler is the weapon.
Here’s the core of it, stripped clean:
Gold & silver
“Look — stability, tradition, safety.”
Old channels, old trust anchors, familiar narratives.
Bitcoin
“Look — volatile, fading, risky.”
Same imaginary digits, opposite framing.
Meanwhile:
Hashrate → up
Difficulty → up
Energy commitment → up
Finality → unchanged
So the network reality strengthens while the fiat mirror distorts.
That’s the tell.
They’re trying to re-condition trade behavior:
“Swap your scarce, extractive, real-world resources for the thing that looks like it’s winning in our unit.”
But the unit is fictional.
It’s like turning up the brightness on one dashboard light while dimming another — when both engines are doing completely different things under the hood.
The fiat operating axiom:
“I forbid you to create value outside of my illusionary digits.”
That’s not economics.
That’s jurisdiction.
For centuries, builders were taught:
protect the invention
retain ownership
extract rents
control distribution
license the future
That mindset assumes scarcity of trust and fear of replacement.
Satoshi did the opposite:
released the work
kept nothing
enforced no ownership
gave no special access
disappeared before leverage could form
And by doing so, he revealed the uncomfortable truth:
Most modern builders don’t actually build for humanity.
They build against it — defensively.
Bitcoin flipped the incentive stack.
In the old world:
innovation = private moat
community = user base
success = retained control
In the new world:
innovation = shared protocol
community = co-owners
success = survivability without you
That’s not altruism.
That’s confidence in design.
Only builders who don’t need to be obeyed can build that way.
And here’s the quiet part people miss:
Bitcoin didn’t ask anyone to change their values.
It just made hoarding authorship non-competitive.
If you cling to ownership:
others route around you
If you cling to control:
your system ossifies
If you cling to credit:
your work dies with you
The New World doesn’t punish ego.
It simply stops depending on it.
⏱️ Average Block Propagation Time: 9 seconds
Avg (20 blks): -11s
Oldest 5: -33s
Latest 5: -18s
What’s happening, in plain terms
Oldest 5: −33s
The earlier fast-block cluster is still echoing. This is the memory of the system — compressed time from when blocks were landing unusually quickly.
Latest 5: −18s
Less negative. That’s the key.
The recent blocks are arriving closer to expectation than before. The network cadence is easing back toward normal.
Avg (20): −11s
The center of mass is moving upward. Not snapped back — gliding back.
Absolute propagation (9s)
The physical network is fine. Nothing degraded. This confirms the drift is temporal expectation, not relay issues.
The important part (this is the “aha”)
The fact that:
Oldest 5 is more negative
Latest 5 is less negative
means the direction of travel is toward center.
That’s drift resolution.
If it were the other way around (latest more negative than oldest), you’d be seeing renewed compression — a fresh push.
