A practical walk through the quantum computer risk to Bitcoin, why signatures are the only real attack surface, and how we migrate with calm engineering instead of panic.
The answer to the concentration fear: why Bitcoin still helps regular people even if a few giants hold a lot of it.
A critique of MMT’s sectoral-balance mantra, and why a hard-cap money like Bitcoin changes the calculus.
Treating superintelligence like an interface problem, not a theology problem. How to ground, elicit, and verify signals across a real cognitive gap.
Not sci-fi. A concrete path to substrate indistinguishability using protein design, viral logistics, glial buses, and a pericranial sheath. Dark, technical, and grounded.
A complete, practical plan to launch a small Bitcoin mine that heats a basement apartment with ducted forced air, routes excess to the roof, and uses smart controls to keep everyone comfortable while you cover the power bill.
A casual walk through the soft spots around Bitcoin security, written like a human who cares about radios, ropes, and reproducible builds.
Speaking to the why and the future of a proof-first messenger built on Bram Kanstein’s LOCK protocol, what it changes for Bitcoiners, where it is tough, and why it might matter if we build it with care.
I just launched the OrangeCheck beta. It is a minimal, Bitcoin-first proof of skin in the game that you can verify locally. The initial badge is only the doorway. The real journey is an open protocol for auth, credit, and identity mechanics, plus a hosted verifier API, shareable badge embeds, and a Nostr overlay where a community can pressure test the idea.
Unsound money doesn’t just distort prices. It distorts trust, identity, and politics. Here is how the hidden tax of seigniorage and the distributional games of monetary policy fuel polarization, and why a hard base layer is the quiet exit.
