The machine economy is coming

Strong Jordan turnout by Andrew Webley, and congrats @The Bitcoin Chef on a great event

Over on the other app, there is a discussion about which bitcoiner should go on Rogan and I’m staggered that @Erik Cason isn’t the prominent choice. I also think we don’t have a top signal until Erik is announced oas a treasury company rep. Both these things must happen

Farting around with ChatGPT this morning, trying to understand if something as globally significant as Bitcoin has been foretold. A few references infant come across before…:

Ancient and premodern seers anticipated the collapse of coercive monetary systems and the emergence of consensus-driven value. Late 1st century AD, Revelation 20:1–6 binds the dragon for a thousand years, symbolizing liberation from deceptive authority and an era of justice beyond fiat oppression

Circa 650 AD, Chinese Tui bei tu prophecy number 59 foretells governance by civilians without emperor’s decree

Pre-Columbian Mayan Fifth Prophecy predicts the end of money as coercive exchange, ushering harmony through new societal structures

Hopi oral tradition’s Fifth Sign describes a spider’s web enveloping the land, a metaphor for global peer-to-peer consensus networks

Renaissance to late-modern mystics further encoded that vision.

1555 AD Nostradamus in Century IX Quatrain 12 describes a sculptor shaping new clay whose followers would be steeped in gold, a metaphor for forging incorruptible currency from raw code

Early 20th century Onisaburō Deguchi prophesies money unified into one mechanism with barter, prefiguring blockchain’s peer-to-peer exchange

Late 20th century Baba Vanga foretells the emergence of a new 2025 currency destined to displace conventional fiat regimes

Technical realization occurred 2008–2009 with Satoshi Nakamoto’s bitcoin white paper and genesis block on 3 January 2009, embedding a critique of central banking and unveiling a decentralized, Byzantine fault tolerant consensus network

Been running a Bitaxe gamma for 6 days, and so far have earned 312 units of freedom money. In my head I always equate a sat to a dollar and I consequently feel I’m making out like a bandit every time I see my daily payout. Very exciting

sharing a wonderful retail experience with @TheSoloMiningCo (IAmGPIO) - ordered a "Black Edition" Bitaxe Gamma from Duncan a few weeks ago. Royal Mail lost the item and duncan shipped a replacement the SAME DAY - no waiting around for an insurance claim. Comms were great. Got it up and running with Braiins / lightening payments yesterday evening and its already paid out 13 sats - zapping them over to you DUncan - amazing service
