This is the most nonsense article Ive read in a long time. The leap after leap of bias is amazing.


I'm not saying you're wrong, but if you're here to discuss, you might as well do it properly. I'd love to hear what exactly is nonsense (or if it's easier for you, what's not nonsense). Also pointing out the exact flaws regarding "leap of bias" would be helpful.


I agree. I believe strongly in Bitcoin, but I think this article was just a bunch of pompous poetry without any substance. "The diffi­culty adjust­ment makes sure that the ticks of Bitcoin’s internal metronome are somewhat constant. It is the conductor of the Bitcoin orchestra. It is what keeps the music alive." Blah blah blah blah! So much fluff to say so little...


I feel like your expectations are a bit off. What did you expect from a blogpost titled "Bitcoin Is Time"? A serious whitepaper on how Bitcoin actually is what we consider time? Of course it's gonna be fluffy poetry, it's right there in the title!


I expected some moderately insightful analysis, where I would come out with one or two interesting new ideas.


He presents bitcoin as a way of knowing if some event happened after some other event, that is a clock, where are all the bias leaps?
