 I’m reading Heidegger’s Being and Time right now, and it’s kinda fucking with me. For some background, I’ve read a lot of his other works (including The Event, which is the Time part of ‘Being and Time’) and I honest to God think that Bitcoin is The Event that Heidegger is speaking of.

It’s going to be a very, very long concourse to unpack it, but it seems that Bitcoin is authentic Dasein as a reflection on Being in our world and what the implications of understanding Bitcoin means to any person both today, and into the foreseeable future.
