My statement was in part based on past interactions where you assert things like "temperature is a ratio". And now you're saying that bitcoin "literally produces time", which, at least to my eye, can't mean what it seems to mean given that time predates bitcoin. Also, if bitcoin's a good predictor or model, I'd like to see the equations that naturally fall out of it used to build a bridge, cure cancer, or predict the movement of the stars. Also, given the potential for a reorg, it seems weird to call bitcoin "empirical truth".
