Money Is Interopability
money must transcend the fundamental constraints of reality - creating a hyperspace where value can move freely across time, space, and human desire. it must solve the coordination problems that make barter impossible at scale.
The Coincidence of Wants
barter fails because it requires a perfect match of desires:
The Coincidence of Time
value must transcend temporal constraints:
The Coincidence of Space
geographic limitations must be overcome:
Universal Salability
money must be instantly and universally convertible:
• salable across time (store of value)
• salable across space (borderless transfer)
• salable across markets (universal acceptance)
• salable across conditions (maintains liquidity in crisis)
Perfect Interoperability
money must function seamlessly across all systems:
• between different technological platforms
• between different cultural contexts
• between different legal frameworks
• between different temporal references
Dimensional Properties
perfect money must possess specific dimensional qualities:
• divisibility: infinitely subdividable without loss of properties
• portability: zero cost to transport any amount
• durability: permanent and unchanging across time
• verifiability: instantly and universally verifiable
Network Properties
money is fundamentally a network phenomenon:
• open access: anyone can participate
• neutrality: no privileged positions
• resilience: no single points of failure
• scalability: capacity grows with demand
The Hyperspace Solution
bitcoin is the first form of money to achieve true dimensional transcendence:
it creates a pure value hyperspace where the constraints of physical reality no longer apply. through bitcoin, value can move instantly across time and space, between any parties, in any amount, without degradation or friction. it is the first monetary technology to fully solve the coordination problems that have limited human cooperation throughout history.
