35 sats \ 5 replies \ @zapsammy 19 Oct \ on: CRAZY logical conclusions about the future of Bitcoin bitcoin
it's funny now, looking from outside in, how people figure out bitcoin using the price model. that's one way to understand bitcoin, and there any many ways. the price is fake: how does one price in people's lives running on the bitcoin standard? what is a bitcoiner's life worth?
putting a money (mono-eye, one eye, one god) value on a satoshi is ridiculous, let alone a dollar value or even a gold bar value. without bitcoin, without stacker news, nostr - my world is but a tiny fishbowl.
yes, bitcoin has collided with the fiat system, but it's like saying math has collided with man-made decree. actuaries have put arbitrary mathematical values on people's lives & property... this is temporary. math and btcoin have briefly intersected with man-made rules, and from here on the paths diverge.
some will stay on the path of man-made decrees, and shall die in soul, mind, and body.
other will pick the path of true knowledge: math, geometry, frequency, bitcoin, and they shall live.

The question is... If an alien civilization got an alien-quarter and flipped heads and tails 256 times... and derived a seed phrase.
Would it have been one ever used by Humans? No? OK then would we know that they (the aliens) ad actually created a seed phrase?
If a billion alien civilizations flipped a billion quarters and generated a billion seed phrases, would we know about it? And would any of those phrases accidentally overlap?

It's not just the seed it's also the checksum used to derive all the addresses in a 'wallet'
You would need to derive the seed and also use the derivation path to match the addresses
addresses are just public & private signatures

Yes sir (or ma'am yes Bitcoin is for everyone) of course you are correct. However this is a thought experiment. It's not just coin flips it's a checksum too.
However it's logical that Aliens would have coins and understand Binary... and 256-bit numbers and HOW BIG they are. Some alien somewhere somehow could generate the coin flips (1s and 0s) and it would be UNIQUE. THAT is cool
