@Simon Dixon I have made the structural claim that Bitcoin is the proper interpretation of what a quantum computer must logically be, I will not regurgitate the thesis here specifically.
IF this thesis is true, what does the attack on self custody truly mean? I have argued that the sats are the RAM (random access memory) of the system that has a value based authority to create decentralized memory as distributed physical bits on nodes. Bitcoin cannot be money without distributed eternal memory; the memory MUST be eternal for Bitcoin to remain a working system. The memory must be non-contradictory (no double spend) for value to be conserved. Proof of work is physics made binary.
Of course they don’t want you to have access to the write authority of memory in the quantum computer, of course they want to centralize the sats for maximum power projection and memory authority, of course they want to centralize the write authority via mining of the memory, of course they want plebs forking off; nodes leaving bitcoin IS centralization by mathematics.
People are so stuck in talking about Bitcoin as money but refuse to see that eternal memory is an essential property for money to express value and meaning across/as time.
Blocks of memory, blocks of time, blocks of energy, blocks of entropy, blocks of casual change.
We need to do better; nobody understands Bitcoin and everyone has a fiat definition of “money”. WE are all wrong.
