Dyllonius on Nostr: When I first understood how Bitcoin’s PoW consensus mechanism married with Ford’s ...
When I first understood how Bitcoin’s PoW consensus mechanism married with Ford’s vision of an energy currency, it blew my mind. Growing up, my cousin and I would often speculate late into the night of what the currency of the future would look like. We called it “Energy Credits”, a frictionless system for financial transactions where value and information would travel at the speed of light. Incredible that our species may just have invented it now with #Bitcoin. I guess the only thing that distinguishes science fiction from science fact is time.
