Nope, still a tall order. Bitcoin is a coordination mechanism, not physics set in stone. It helps out to filter the signal from the noise and allow for humans to better organise their economic decisio...

I think you are right on coordination and history so far, still why did Bitcoin manage to repeat Gold’s history so far? Speed run of 5000 years or more just under a couple of decades.

You can 6102 all day long but if you are “big bitcoin” then are pulling the rug under your feet.

Physics set you hard boundaries:
* Can you send Bitcoin quicker than speed of light?
* Can you guess someone’s private key if it’s secured by Entropy?
* Can you write the ledger without doing work and expending real world resources?
If the answer would be “no” to any of those questions we wouldn’t be chatting here.
