Bitcoin: A Psychedelic Experience
Bitcoin is a disruptive technology that allows individuals to consciously reprogram societal institutions. Like psychedelics disrupt the default mode network, Bitcoin disrupts the social protocol established by traditional institutions. It calls into question the need for central banks, nation-states, and firms. Bitcoin and the digital age in general are causing a fundamental reevaluation of these institutions. While psychedelics may break free from ego and bring about liberation, Bitcoin emphasizes the importance of hard work and building. Traditional institutions, while often disliked, are the result of a long and complex process of proof of work. The disruption caused by Bitcoin mirrors the disruptive nature of psychedelics on the default mode network.
