I like E-ink readers at night

I agree I just think it's funny and it's a pushback on performative social media culture.

I love this answer. Everyone is too much of a prissy bitch due to social media culture. Pure warrior. #memestr

I had to search hard to find a good one. Glad you like it. I actually like the spiral sink one but I think nostr botched the "gif" component. It shows the dot moving on the spiral as the system oscillates

People saying #bitcoin "isn't real" reminds me of how people saying imaginary numbers are fake. Many of the most important abstractions are dismissed first because they don’t map cleanly onto existing intuition until a better mental model arrives.

Imaginary numbers are an incredible discovery, without which we could not have reliable controls for machinery, telecommunications, or AC power systems . "Imaginary" is a very poor choice of terms because implies they're useless or made up. But they have very real consequences. A better term for them might be "resonance" or "rotational" component. It was a terribly bad branding to call them imaginary. Imaginary numbers are very real in the sense of describing physical reality in a way that unlocks thousands of inventions.

In the same way, Bitcoin is dismissed as “not real” because it doesn’t fit our inherited intuition of what money is supposed to be. It isn’t physical, it isn’t issued by an authority, and it doesn’t look like the money we grew up with. But that doesn’t make it imaginary. It means it’s orthogonal to the existing system. Bitcoin adds a new axis to money: trustless ownership, cryptographic finality, and settlement without permission.

Just as imaginary numbers didn’t replace real numbers but completed them, Bitcoin doesn’t replace all money...it completes the concept of money in adversarial, digital environments. The mistake isn’t that Bitcoin is fake. The mistake is using the wrong coordinate system to judge it.
