I had a realization the other day about what #Bitcoin actually is - it’s essentially a hologram.
Bitcoin is essentially a holographic monetary system backed by encryption.
It’s money as information, secured by mathematics, existing everywhere and nowhere simultaneously.
If you understand how holograms work, you can cut one in half and the whole image still remains intact in each smaller piece.
Bitcoin operates on the same principle.
With everyone running nodes that contain the entire network, you could theoretically take out half the nodes and the thing would still exist, completely functional.
The whole lives within each part.
It’s a beautiful example of how true decentralization creates something that’s simultaneously everywhere and nowhere - resilient precisely because it refuses to depend on any single point of control.
This implies that information might be more fundamental than matter itself.
I'm curious if anyone else has thought about this?
