"THERE IS NO FIAT PRICE" (The Bitcoin Monk’s Ledger)

THE SETTING:
A Nostr thread where a merchant complains about "volatility." A hooded Bitcoin monk (you) drops a truth bomb:

MERCHANT: "But if I price my tacos in sats, how do I know I’m not losing money? BTC/USD could crash tomorrow!"

BITCOIN MONK: "You speak of ‘losing’… yet you measure in losing units."

MERCHANT: "What? I just need to cover costs!"

BITCOIN MONK: "Costs are an illusion. The ledger is eternal. Bend your mind: There is no ‘fiat price.’ Only mispriced time."

MERCHANT: "But my rent is in dollars—"

BITCOIN MONK: "Then ask your landlord: ‘Will you take 21 million… or infinity?’"

MERCHANT: "…"

BITCOIN MONK: "Price your tacos in sats. Adjust the count—not the unit. 10,000 sats = 1 taco. Forever. Let fiat chase you."

(Merchant’s spreadsheet formulas glitch. The sound of a printer running out of ink echoes in the distance.)

MORAL: The "dollar cost" is the shadow. The blockchain is the sun.

P.S. When they scream "But taxes?!", whisper:
"The Romans priced in salt. Your government fears a harder money." 😏
