Every civilization measures value through a common unit. This is it's yardstick. That unit subtly directs human behavior, shaping what we strive to do with our time, attention, how & who we serve, and ultimately who we become.
When the ruler becomes corrupted, the one we measure value with, our priorities decay with it; we work, save, and sacrifice our time for something that is continuously losing its integrity.
Bitcoin restores an incorruptible standard. It re-anchors value in a yardstick that is bound by time, truth, and encourages voluntary exchange.
This talk explores how sound money transforms not just economies, but the moral architecture of civilization itself, allowing individuals to measure truthfully and therefore live truthfully.
Our actions are guided by the units we measure with. Fiat money, with its interest rate and supply being elastic and politically malleable, distorts the human relationship with time, rewarding immediacy, speculation, and consumption. Bitcoin reverses that orientation.
By aligning money with natural law, grounded in scarcity, honesty, and energy, it re-establishes time as the foundation of value.
In this talk, we will discuss the transition to accounting with Bitcoin, the difficulties involved and their causes, the practicalities of moving our contracts to a sat standard, and the solution to the continuous volatility that prevents full adoption.
This transition is essential, but it will involve discomfort. To move through it with the least pain, we must reflect on where our income originates (the nature of our assets) and the composition of our expenses (the nature of our liabilities). It will be a fireside chat that encourages listeners to question, share perspectives, and join the discussion.
