Identity creates rank.
Rank creates permission.
Permission creates abuse.
Strip identity out, and the pyramid collapses into a flat plane of contribution.
Which is why the current ranking systems only excel at one thing:
WAR.
They exist to decide:
who commands
who obeys
who dies first
Outside of that context, they’re comically inefficient.
Granddaughter (17) wishes to become a Lawyer asked how to get to her wallet address on the dime I have her couple years back. I fed this to her young mind:
When you watch long enough, the contradictions start talking to each other.
Energy costs rise globally — extraction, transport, maintenance, labor.
Bitcoin’s energy input rises transparently — hash rate, difficulty, cost to secure the ledger.
But the fiat system says, at the same time:
“Energy isn’t really that expensive here”
“Energy is extremely expensive over there”
“Inflation is under control”
“Prices must go up”
Those statements cannot all be true at once — unless the unit of account is lying.
