What Is Bitcoin Becoming? — Кассета

THE INQUIRY I’ve been working on this article for several months, and I decided to put it aside because too many things were unfolding at once. I needed some distance to observe what was happening to Bitcoin as a network, to its value, to the scarcity that has defined it as sound money, and to the way people were behaving around it. I was also noticing the polarity that was emerging and observing my own relationship to Bitcoin while all of it emerged. I have spent years studying Bitcoin through Austrian economics, evolutionary astrology, time and market cycles, and my own empirical observations, and I realized that if I remained too attached to what I thought Bitcoin was supposed to be, or to what connected me to it in the first place, I could miss what it was actually becoming. That was practiced as distance, climbing to the top of the mountain to see the whole landscape un attached. I’ve always been able to read archetypes through time and recognize patterns, and with that comes a certain responsibility. I do not mean the accountability to predict what’s going to happen or to manipulate an outcome. I mean the obligations to observe carefully and make visible what I’m seeing, so somebody else may have access to information they have or not been able to distill from the same events because they’re standing from a different point of view. Before 2020, I would clash much more with other ways of thinking because I considered that what I was seeing was more correct, and that was what I claimed as my truth. I would become a moral authority around ideas and ideologies and try to convince somebody else to see things differently. I am much more interested now in observing, listening, making my own decisions, and allowing others the responsibility of making theirs. I allow morality to exist outside of my own authority, for I live through my own integrity and the foundation of my principles and ethos. Bitcoin has been perfect for me to observe this change because, other than being a sound asset, it became a state of consciousness where I could synthesize many things that I had already been practicing: my art, evolutionary astrology, Human Design, philosophy, and Austrian economics through subjective value, scarcity, incentives, responsibility, human action, sovereignty, trauma and the architecture of monetary systems. When I ask, What is it becoming? , I’m also asking: what happens to an idea once millions of different people begin acting through it, assigning value to it, building around it, fighting over it, tweaking it and using it? At the end, all of those actions begin to define something that is already transformed, or perhaps is permanently in a state of transformation. GENESIS In Bitcoin’s Genesis chart, dated January 3, 2009, at noon London time, we see a large concentration in Capricorn, mostly in the sixth house. Pluto and Mars are in a new-phase relationship, so desire and evolution are being initiated through action, close enough to the Sun to push that impulse toward visible expression and validation through function. Jupiter sits at 29° Capricorn, asking whether this philosophy of value can become useful enough, disciplined enough, and repeatable enough to hold up in the real world. Between the Sun and Jupiter, Black Moon Lilith and Juno are conjunct at 21° and 22° Capricorn, bringing sovereignty, contract, commitment, and responsibility into the same field and asking how much of the original uncompromising principle can remain intact once it enters structure. When Bitcoin came into existence, it was already carrying its own architecture: a protocol, rules, proof of work, verification, and a predetermined scarcity inside a network that depends on repeated participation. The North Node sits on the Descendant, while Mercury (6th house), Chiron, and Neptune are all in Aquarius in the seventh house, carrying another part of the story around freedom, decentralization,
