Intrinsic value is an undeniable reality rooted in the laws of physics and thermodynamics. At its core, intrinsic value is the energy required for existence—the measurable effort needed to create, sustain, or maintain something in the physical world. Without energy, there is no structure, no function, and ultimately, no existence.
Fiat systems perpetuate the illusion that nothing has intrinsic value. By detaching money from any energy or physical anchor, fiat promotes a mindset where value is arbitrary and purely subjective. This illusion allows infinite creation of currency without corresponding work or energy expenditure, undermining the very concept of value and encouraging systems built on manipulation and illusion. Fiat teaches people to ignore the reality of intrinsic value because it benefits from detachment from physical constraints.
Subjective value, on the other hand, is what individuals or societies place on top of intrinsic value based on context, needs, or preferences. For example, Bitcoin’s intrinsic value lies in the energy required to mine, secure, and maintain its network. Subjectively, people assign value to Bitcoin based on how much they appreciate its security, scarcity, and utility. While subjective value is personal and variable, it cannot exist without an underlying framework of intrinsic value.
Bitcoin bridges this gap. By tying subjective valuations to an immutable, energy-backed system, it reconnects humanity with the reality of intrinsic value. It forces us to reckon with the energy that underpins existence, ensuring that subjective valuations are grounded in something real. Without this alignment, value remains as arbitrary as fiat—detached from reality and unsustainable in the long run. Bitcoin reminds us that both intrinsic and subjective value are quantifiable, but only when rooted in energy and the laws of physics.
Fiat has rotted your mind brother. Satan would want you to believe nothing is real and everything is subjective because it detaches you from truth, order, and accountability. It creates chaos, allowing manipulation and control to thrive. Fiat systems love to deny intrinsic value and promote illusions.
