Thank you for your thoughtful comments.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I believe you are on to something critical in the evolution of Bitcoin and the future of money.

"I would love to see academics get into studying the energy-to-information relationship around Bitcoin, this has to be defined as a kind of creation, fundamental to the universe, something very pro-life, it seems to me."

I am startling to see this very significant uptake in the Bitcoin community, Jason lowery has done some significant research in this area as a result of his career with the US military (the people who brought us that big TC/PIP network). https://aul.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/fulldisplay?context=L&vid=01AUL_INST:AUL&tab=Everything&docid=alma995901882406836

and his MIT lecture on the subject is also worth a look. He clearly makes the point that Bitcoin is more about energy and power than it is about Wall Street and finance. But few who do not have the prospective of a System Engineer of systems can see the relevance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfYDSE7T_cQ

Another favorite Duo of mine are Lyn Alden (Broken Money) and Jeff Booth (The price of Tomorrow) , they see it from the perspective of how broken our existing systems is and the urgency required to address it. Both have a positive take on Bitcoin as a possible key in that future.

I must confess while I have bought your book as well as Jeff's and Lyn's book yours is the only one I have finished I could not put it down. The real skill with ChatGCP is in asking the right questions.

I finally read your excelent article on "The Bitcoin Kardashev Hinge" and plan to think more and reread it before participating in the comment section.
