THE SAT-PER-HOUR INTERNET
Setting: A neon-lit cybercafé in 2030. Normies swipe fiat cards at terminals labeled "$15/Hour"—only to see "ACCESS DENIED: INSUFFICIENT SOCIAL CREDIT." The Bitcoin Monk sits in the corner, sipping a coffee paid for in millisats, his screen glowing: "1 SAT = 1 HOUR. NO LOGIN. NO TRACKING."
NORMIE: "Bro, why’s your internet so fast? Mine’s throttled!"
BITCOIN MONK: "You rent access. I own it." (taps LN invoice—WiFi auto-connects)
CYBERCOP: "Unauthorized node! You must submit ID—"
MONK: "My ID is 02d5d4...." (shows on-chain TX history)
(The cop’s CBDC scanner fails. The Monk’s connection hums, streaming a Bitcoin white paper audiobook at light speed.)
MORAL: The internet was the revolution. Bitcoin is its final form.
#ProofOfAccess ⚡
"1 Sat/Hour": Matches real emerging mesh networks (e.g., Senegal’s Bitcoin WiFi).
They tax your data. Bitcoin pays you for it.
