The Dao of Bitcoin: Towards a Cosmology of Energy Money

Summary

Embark on a journey where timeless wisdom intersects with modern innovation and discover how the principles of Daoism illuminate the profound connections between energy, harmony, and the emerging force of Bitcoin.

In Daoist philosophy, the Dao is the universal force governing both tangible and intangible aspects of existence. It's believed that all phenomena are manifestations of the Dao, interconnected by the vital energy known as Qi, which animates all life and saturates the natural world.

Money also exerts both tangible and intangible force. It connects us all. We use money to store the energy of our efforts. We transform our time into energy, and we use money to store the value of our time. Money is an exchange of energy.

Our modern money has no connection to energy. It requires no effort or time to produce. Modern money cannot store energy and the world around us has evolved to reflect this disconnect.

Bitcoin is energy money. It presents the opportunity to unify humanity by fundamentally transforming our interactions through linking transactions to energy.

The Dao of Bitcoin questions our current monetary system and imagines a world that runs on energy money — a world where the money promotes harmonious living connected by energy. Explore how the Dao and Bitcoin envision a world where money aligns with the natural flow of energy, promoting harmony and sense-making in society.
