The Age of Time is a book about civilization.
 How humans coordinate, create meaning, and carry it forward across generations. It explores consciousness and identity as consensus processes.
 How the mind assembles continuity, and how societies do the same at scale. It traces the rise of mechanical time as a solution to coordination.
 A system that allowed humanity to agree on sequence when we could no longer share place. It looks to architecture as memory. What past civilizations built, and what their creations reveal about how they thought in time. And it asks a deeper question:
What happens when our model of time changes? For centuries, time has shaped our perception of reality.
 We inherit it without question.
 But the system we use compresses experience into an ever-narrowing present. The signs are everywhere: we build for disposal, optimize for return, and treat time as an input cost.   Bitcoin introduces something different.
 A process that transforms perception through participation.
 A clock that does not accelerate.
 A system where order and value converge. It points toward a new civilizational relationship with time. theageoftime.com

I'm not done yet, but this might be the most interesting book I've ever read. It's just.... beautiful. Not a #Bicoin book (at least not yet for me), something much, much more. History, art, philosophy, economics... Whatever "this" is, it's special.

The process of investing money you've earned and paid tax on is only necessary because inflation prevents our money from holding value over time. The answer is saving in money that can't be inflated.
You shouldn't have to earn your money twice.

Are there Bitcoin VCs that invest in actual early stage bitcoin projects?
Early Riders led Stables' pre-seed round. Stablecoins settled more than $33 trillion last year, and with the GENIUS Act and MiCA in force, a wave of new issuers is entering the market at once. Each new stablecoin is effectively its own currency, with its own issuer risk, chain risk, and redemption mechanics. Businesses holding more than one are running multi-currency treasuries without the tools to manage them. Stables is building the neutral account layer for the stablecoin economy: one regulated account to hold fiat and any major stablecoin, settle cross-border payments 24/7, and manage treasury, payroll, and compliance from a single platform. Announcement below: earlyriders.com/blog/early-r…

Bitcoin is money.
The shift to "we turn bitcoin into money" is a cancer. Allowed me to see a broken incentive I didn't see before. Bitcoin is money. Not digital capital. ASST / MSTR are Digital Alchemy. Just repeat this line to yourself: "he's trying to get me to buy his stocks and not bitcoin".

I was even more praise-y/sycophantic in The Nordic Node's reading section

I've been touched by the early feedback on The Age of Time, this one really hit home.

My last altcoin position was Luna and I rode it all the way down to zero. Basically 4 years ago. Zcash / STRC retest on the bottoms feels eerily similar. History doesn't repeat but it does rhyme.

The best form of money is naturally the most rational reward. Bitcoin in the workplace is the most obvious and most slept on use case. Owners and executives who understand bitcoin and don’t try to orange pill their staff are running their businesses with square wheels for no reason. Everyone will earn some Bitcoin over a long enough time horizon.
100,000,000 humble sat stackers should be the goal. 100,000,000 people buying $50-$250 of bitcoin every paycheck because they believe in better savings technology. Focus on this.

The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) has over 2,000 employees. Top 5 managers, make more than $5 million per year. They have never beaten the market. Nevada has 1 guy. Who invests in ETFs. Does nothing. All day. And he outperforms the CPP. Consistently. For further context, if CPP invested in QQQ, for the last 10 years, instead of $800 billion in assets, we would have $2.4 Trillion. VOO would put it at $1.6 trillion. Lesson: The government will never outperform the market. So don’t think the Sovereign Debt Fund will be any different.

We are at the part of the cycle where the real ones rally. Bitcoin is money.
Strategy put out a post that said "we turn bitcoin into money $strc". It's being marketed as digital credit. It is preferred equity. Preferred equity is being described as an inflexion point in bitcoin's history. The list goes on. It's gaslighting and I didn't say anything until the gaslighting went to an extreme. I'm curious, how much of the equity do you own as a % of your overall allocation?

A thread 1/5 Bitcoiners spent a decade preaching low time preference. Then Saylor offered them 11.5%, and they forgot every word of it. Yield is the highest time preference impulse there is: income now. Now once a month isn't enough for them, they want dollars every 2 weeks. And they're diving into SATA so they can get dollars every day. To collect it, they hand over soverignty, take on counterparty risk to a single sub-investment grade company, forget that Bitcoin does not have a CEO for a reason,cap their Bitcoin upside at a coupon, and hold a centralised, dilutable, freezable corporate IOU. The exact opposite of everything Bitcoin was designed to be. That is the con. Saylor worked out you can sell sound money people a fiat instrument as long as you wrap it in orange, make some AI slop advertisements, hire podcasters and put them on your board, and dangle a monthly cheque. And the cheque is their own capital handed back as "income" (hence why the income is tax free, until they get a massive tax bill at the end), while they finance his stack and surrender the asset. Low time preference. Right up until someone offers them a yield. Every cycle their is another bout of shitcoin hype. This time Saylor's managed to dupe Bitcoiners with one.

Spook Force joins the chat to side with our captured influencer class. Kind of telling how Softwar Boy has no idea a fork would be required to stop BIP-110 winning by default.
