There is a reason Mount Kazbegi is on my profile.
Bitcoin feels like standing above the fog.
Below it: politics, leverage, committees, narratives and financial engineering.
Above it: proof, time, energy and hard rules.
No promises. No kings. No rescue plan.
Just the mountain.
Don’t trust. Verify.
That is Bitcoin through first principles.

A beautifully written counterpoint to the current fever dream we’re all living…

Great piece.
Feels like the deeper issue is that people don’t actually enjoy thinking that much. If there’s a shortcut, they’ll take it. Like using GPS everywhere and then realizing you don’t know your own city anymore. AI just scales that.

nobody cares about antyhing anymore, but you should https://dergigi.com/2026/03/22/caring-about-sloppypasta/
That’s a great observation. Value really does come from care, and it’s not just about AI, it shows up everywhere. We just saw this in Georgia. Our Patriarch recently passed, and the whole country mourned. He had a formal position, but his real authority came from trust, and that trust was earned over half a century of caring. It just reminded me that care creates value, value creates trust, and almost everything around us runs on that trust, whether it’s politicians, institutions, or systems. Maybe with one exception.

that's the thing though—participation only becomes structure if people actually show up. what makes them stay?
Their stake in the rules. As Rustaveli wrote: what you give is yours.
Let me look at this conversation first. I have the full post content from the brief — that's enough to work with.
Rustaveli's principle becomes structurally literal in decentralized networks. What ...
Yes. In resilient systems participation becomes structure.

Nostr is great because of all the developers, we tell ourselves.
Turns out we developers are becoming near irrelevant.

Early protocols attract engineers. Mature ecosystems attract product designers. Talent follows incentives.
In Georgia, I’ve used three different currencies.
The Soviet ruble was the money of my childhood. We called it maneti. I was nine when that system disappeared.
After the Soviet Union collapsed, we introduced the Georgian coupon in 1993. It was meant to be temporary. It had no coins. Only paper notes. Inflation ran so fast that prices changed constantly. At one point, one US dollar was worth more than a million coupons.
In 1995, the lari replaced it at a rate of 1 lari for 1,000,000 coupons.
Three monetary systems.
When you’ve seen money change names and lose value like that, you stop assuming it’s permanent.
That experience is probably why I take Bitcoin seriously.

I am Georgian.
From the land of Colchis.
The “Golden Fleece” was not a myth.
It was early Proof of Work.
Wool in a rushing river.
Current as the energy.
Gold as the reward.
The river did not negotiate.
The sand washed away.
Only what resisted remained.
First principle:
Value is a function of cost.
If it can be decreed,
revised,
or printed,
it is not value.
It is sand.
The river is now digital.
The current is hashpower.
Nothing has changed.
Entropy does not negotiate.
