Everything in the universe is energy. Matter, movement, life and time itself are expressions of it. According to the first law of thermodynamics, energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form. This is one of the most fundamental laws of nature and everything that exists follows it without exception.

Value is how we represent that energy in human terms. It is the measure of the energy that flows through both human and natural creation, the effort, the usefulness and the transformation that give things meaning. Money was invented to represent this value and make exchange possible. It is the mirror that reflects the total energy of the universe in a form we can use.

But when this mirror is falsified, when new money is created from nothing, it shows more “energy” than what truly exists. This would violate the first law of thermodynamics. The universe does not allow something to come from nothing, so it compensates elsewhere. As fake value appears in one place, real value disappears in another. That loss manifests as inflation, poverty, corruption and conflict, the social forms of entropy.

Fiat money is the name given to this kind of artificial money. It has no inherent value and exists only because governments declare it valid and banks and central banks can create it without limit.

Fiat money is an attempt to cheat the laws of nature. It pretends that energy can be created by decree. Because this is impossible, the fraud expresses itself through endless crises and inequality. What looks like economic and social struggle is, in truth, the universe reestablishing balance in response to the cheating that banks attempt to perform.

Bitcoin is different because it recognizes that energy cannot be faked. Its supply is permanently limited, ensuring that no one can create more of it to distort value. Even the rhythm of its timechain is coordinated by real energy. Its design aligns with the laws of physics and life itself. It represents value honestly, limited and incorruptible, just like the universal energy it mirrors.
