Nick Bostrom’s simulation argument still blows my mind:
If advanced civilizations can run ancestor simulations, and if they ever do, then it’s statistically more likely that we’re simulated minds inside one of them than in base reality.
And here's where it gets weirder:
✓The universe appears pixelated at the Planck scale.
✓Quantum particles act like they're being rendered when observed.
✓Physics is increasingly code-like, not "natural."
Now zoom out:
•° What if Bitcoin is the simulation’s in game currency? •° What if Lightning nodes are just subroutines in the engine? •° Would that change how you treat sats, value, or even self sovereignty?
And what’s a better incentive to build permissionless money than trying to exit a simulation?
Curious what other Bitcoiners think: is this fun philosophy or a real possibility? And if we are in a sim... can we fork it?
Why would simulated sats be any less real than "real" sats? They'd still be a digital construct adhering to set rules.

If we're in a sim, maybe everything is code including value. That doesn't make sats meaningless, it might make them more fundamental.

The simulation is too good a game not to play.

Then it would be the most immersive, high stakes game ever created.

Indeed.

It's kinda mind-blowing isn't it.

So BTC/Sats is the best money in this simulation!
reply
Yeah basically and I’ll be stacking until the devs pull the plug.

You just go for it.

Love is why we are here. Be it in a simulation.

If we are in a simulation, love may still be the most authentic signal within it.

Beautifully put.

That would mean life isn't real.
reply
Maybe,but if it feels real,costs time,and burns energy it’s real enough for me.

I think reality is not as we perceive it.

It's to complex

I agree
