1/Bitcoin is more than just a new form of money. It is a revolutionary technology that enables human beings to expand their consciousness, creativity, and cooperation. It is a way of aligning our perception of reality with the nature of the universe itself.
2/ In this thread, I will explain how Bitcoin relates to a new theory of consciousness and reality proposed by physicist and computer scientist @stephen_wolfram. 
3/ Wolfram has developed a new approach to understanding the fundamental nature of reality based on simple computational rules. He argues that the universe is essentially a network of nodes that evolve according to these rules, and that everything we observe,
4/ from matter and energy to space and time, emerges from this network.
Wolfram’s theory suggests that consciousness is not a property of specific systems, such as humans or animals, but rather a feature of how any system can describe its relation to the universe.
Wolfram’s theory suggests that consciousness is not a property of specific systems, such as humans or animals, but rather a feature of how any system can describe its relation to the universe.
5/ He defines consciousness as the ability to construct a coherent and definite representation of reality based on limited computational resources. This means that any system that can perform even the most basic computations must have some level of consciousness.
6/ According to Wolfram, consciousness is not unique to humans or even to life, but rather ubiquitous in the universe.
7/ He claims that even elementary particles, such as electrons or photons, have some form of consciousness, albeit very different from our own. He also implies that there are likely higher levels of consciousness beyond our comprehension, associated with larger, more complex
8/ and abstract structures in the network.
Wolfram’s theory reveals that reality is akin to a vast and infinitely complex social network of conscious nodes.

9/ Each node has its own perspective and description of reality, which may or may not be compatible with others. The network evolves through interactions and computations among the nodes, generating new levels of complexity and emergence.
10/ If Wolfram’s theory is correct, then it has profound implications for how we understand money and its role in human civilization.
11/ Money is not just a medium of exchange, but also a data compression technology that compresses information about the network state of reality into a coherent output called price. Price is a signal that reflects the relative value and preference of each node in the network.
12/ Money allows human beings to negotiate reality more precisely by reducing the complexity and uncertainty of the universe into a simple and universal language.
13/ It augments our ability to communicate and coordinate values and preferences across space and time. It enables us to allocate our limited computational resources more efficiently and effectively.
14/ Money also has the potential to enhance our consciousness by connecting us into a monetary network and markets.
15/ Markets are emergent phenomena that arise from the collective actions and interactions of conscious nodes. Markets provide us with a lower resolution, but wider frame from which to understand reality.
16/ They are a way for us to express and know the subjective value that each individual assigns to different aspects of reality.
Money is therefore a tool for exploring and knowing consciousness, which is ultimately the purpose of reality itself.

17/ However, not all money is created equal. The quality and integrity of money affects its ability to perform its functions as a data compression technology and a tool for consciousness exploration.
18/ Money that preserves its value and integrity over time enhances human consciousness and freedom, while money that loses its value and integrity over time degrades human consciousness and freedom.
19/ Most modern money falls prey to the law of accelerating issuance and depreciation, which states that the more money is issued, the more money has to be issued in the future to maintain the system. This leads to inflation, corruption, coercion, exploitation, fraud, violence,
20/ distortion, and extraction of value from the network. This degrades the quality and integrity of money as a data compression technology and a tool for consciousness exploration.
21/ Bitcoin is different. Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that operates on a peer-to-peer network based on cryptographic proof instead of trust or authority. Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million units that cannot be manipulated or inflated by anyone.
22/ Bitcoin preserves its value and integrity over time by being immune to corruption and coercion.
23/ Bitcoin is not only the most true and efficient form of money ever invented, but also the most compatible with the nature of reality as revealed by Wolfram’s network. Bitcoin is itself an emergent phenomenon that arises from simple computational rules
24/ applied by nodes in a network. Bitcoin aligns our perception of reality with the nature of the universe itself.
25/ Bitcoin is therefore the ultimate tool for consciousness exploration. It facilitates and expands humanity’s ability to express consciousness, creativity, and cooperation.
26/ It acts as a catalyst for a new era of civilization based on truth, virtue, freedom, and the expansion of human consciousness. Bitcoin is a way for human beings to explore and expand consciousness, which is ultimately the purpose of reality itself.
