What is sinister is folks saving their real time/energy in a system continuously generating imaginary digits simultaneously. 😏
Some point into the dark, others shine a light.
Listening to Running’ Knots while the board reads:
Knots 25 — 71%
Core 10 — 29%
The long game
Some will always want protection.
Some will always want freedom.
Both will build worlds around those desires.
And over time, results speak louder than promises.
That’s when the quiet migration accelerates.
The multi-economy era
This is the part most people haven’t wrapped their heads around yet:
We’re not heading toward one new system.
We’re heading toward:
multiple systems coexisting.
Side by side.
At the same time.
illusion economies
reality economies
permission economies
sovereign economies
Each with:
different rules
different incentives
different psychological contracts
And people will choose which world they inhabit.
Why this will be fascinating to watch
Because for the first time in history:
People won’t be trapped inside one system.
They’ll opt in to their worldview.
That means:
responsibility vs dependence
verification vs belief
agency vs protection
played out in real time, in real economies.
If someone worries:
“Blockchain explorers could get infected!”
The answer is simply:
Stop using third-party explorers.
Which is already happening.
That’s literally:
what Start9 exists for
what Umbrel exists for
what personal indexers exist for
what tools like BCI exist for
So the fear model depends on:
continued dependence on centralized web services.
Which is exactly what Bitcoin is eroding.
Old world thinking:
Central servers
Fixed IPs
Known endpoints
Static infrastructure
Single execution surfaces
So malware meant:
Compromise the server → own the system
Bitcoin world:
No central server
No fixed IP
No single execution point
No global attack surface
No command authority
So malware means:
Nothing… unless a human voluntarily executes something.
Fear spreads faster than code — unless clarity intercepts it.
Some give imaginary digits and feel generous.
Others give clarity, insight, and perspective and change lives.
Digits relieve symptoms.
Wisdom transforms trajectory.
One fades with inflation.
The other compounds forever.
True philanthropy isn’t about redistribution —
it’s about illumination.
And illumination costs nothing,
yet gives everything.
