The Age of Time is a book about civilization.
How humans coordinate, create meaning, and carry it forward across generations.
It explores consciousness and identity as consensus processes.
How the mind assembles continuity, and how societies do the same at scale.
It traces the rise of mechanical time as a solution to coordination.
A system that allowed humanity to agree on sequence when we could no longer share place.
It looks to architecture as memory. What past civilizations built, and what their creations reveal about how they thought in time.
And it asks a deeper question:
What happens when our model of time changes?
For centuries, time has shaped our perception of reality.
We inherit it without question.
But the system we use compresses experience into an ever-narrowing present.
The signs are everywhere: we build for disposal, optimize for return, and treat time as an input cost.
Bitcoin introduces something different.
A process that transforms perception through participation.
A clock that does not accelerate.
A system where order and value converge.
It points toward a new civilizational relationship with time.

In 2024 @BitcoinBrains suggested the possibility of a 10 year bear market and I didn’t want to hear it.
The future is so unknown… super AI could send bitcoin to 10M overnight just as plausibly.
The spectrum of potential outcomes is so broad it’s difficult to feel certain about predicting the next 5 years.
The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) has over 2,000 employees.
Top 5 managers, make more than $5 million per year.
They have never beaten the market.
Nevada has 1 guy. Who invests in ETFs.
Does nothing. All day.
And he outperforms the CPP.
Consistently.
For further context, if CPP invested in QQQ, for the last 10 years, instead of $800 billion in assets, we would have $2.4 Trillion.
VOO would put it at $1.6 trillion.
Lesson: The government will never outperform the market.
So don’t think the Sovereign Debt Fund will be any different.
Who to follow
Now imagine when Michael sells a meaningful amount.
We are at the part of the cycle where the real ones rally.
Bitcoin is money.
Strategy put out a post that said "we turn bitcoin into money $strc". It's being marketed as digital credit. It is preferred equity. Preferred equity is being described as an inflexion point in bitcoin's history. The list goes on. It's gaslighting and I didn't say anything until the gaslighting went to an extreme.
I'm curious, how much of the equity do you own as a % of your overall allocation?
@GrantCardone @B1tB3rry I think it’s more about the narrative pivot, the gaslighting, and the general apathy towards anything to do with real bitcoin. The tiny sale is just something to latch on to
@SimonDixonTwitt 11.5% is just a test number to see the general populations threshold to abandon what they thought were principles many won't even need that
@pdmonearth You’ll be waiting a long time for a bitcoin president

A thread 1/5
Bitcoiners spent a decade preaching low time preference.
Then Saylor offered them 11.5%, and they forgot every word of it.
Yield is the highest time preference impulse there is: income now. Now once a month isn't enough for them, they want dollars every 2 weeks. And they're diving into SATA so they can get dollars every day.
To collect it, they hand over soverignty, take on counterparty risk to a single sub-investment grade company, forget that Bitcoin does not have a CEO for a reason,cap their Bitcoin upside at a coupon, and hold a centralised, dilutable, freezable corporate IOU. The exact opposite of everything Bitcoin was designed to be.
That is the con. Saylor worked out you can sell sound money people a fiat instrument as long as you wrap it in orange, make some AI slop advertisements, hire podcasters and put them on your board, and dangle a monthly cheque. And the cheque is their own capital handed back as "income" (hence why the income is tax free, until they get a massive tax bill at the end), while they finance his stack and surrender the asset.
Low time preference. Right up until someone offers them a yield. Every cycle their is another bout of shitcoin hype. This time Saylor's managed to dupe Bitcoiners with one.
@UsherNBA He could just stop flopping and there would be nothing to talk about
Spook Force joins the chat to side with our captured influencer class.
Kind of telling how Softwar Boy has no idea a fork would be required to stop BIP-110 winning by default.
@MichaelButtonX Pre-history is probably anything before 1666
We kicked of @DublinTechWeek with 4 days of keynotes, Panel discussions, workshops and sport where hundreds of people gathered to share their insights on how Bitcoin can help your businesses and family
His go-to move is a forearm shiver that generates enough space that his defender has to jump at the pump fake. It's not his fault they allow the initial offensive foul that predicates his counters but it is painful to watch and not anything you would get away with in a pickup game
@Breedlove22 You on Age of Time yet?
