Bitcoin isn’t a break from history, but rather a return to the most important lessons of history.
Jonathan Kirkwood (@nprofile1q...) joined historian Brian Domitrovic at Imagine IF on why Bitcoin looks backward to move forward.
Free money built America.
Property rights fueled risk.
Growth created liberty.
Bitcoin rewinds the tape so we can move forward.

On stage at Imagine IF, @nprofile1q... and Dr. Andrew Hohns tackled a technical problem with a human response.

“Whenever there is a problem in the world, what is needed is moral courage.”

The problem for Hohns, is the broken credit system and a trust deficit between the institutions and financial leaders tasked to fix it.

Bitcoin provides a technological escape valve, and the power of next generation credit tools.

“Imagine if your memories could be edited.”

@nprofile1q... of @nprofile1q... asked how AI could reshape thought itself, at Bitcoin Park’s recent Imagine IF Summit.

Because AI can already nudge what you see and how you feel, the idea of impacting our very thoughts creates what he calls subconscious censorship.

Marks warns this could come for freedom of thought itself.

His answer: open systems, verifiable code, and sunlight as disinfectant.

Bitcoin works because its supply cannot change.
Everything else flows from that.

At Imagine IF, Rapha Zagury explained to Parker Lewis, what it was like growing up in Brazil and watching grocery prices rise throughout the day. When you live through that, you understand why predictable money matters.

Proof of work transforms electricity into certainty and sustainability.

The internet made us more connected—and less free.

Our lives moved online.
Our freedom didn’t.

At Bitcoin Park’s Imagine IF, @nprofile1q... argued that the only way to fix it is to make freedom profitable.

Because open protocols don’t scale on donations. They scale on alignment.

“Not your keys, not your coins.”

Self-custody means trade-offs—but it’s the only way to truly own Bitcoin.
Individuals: use hardware wallets + backups.
Institutions: multisig + proof of reserves.

No keys, no control.

@nprofile1q... and @nprofile1q... discuss the endgame of defending the free and open network of Bitcoin by securing your own custody at CTS25.
