In Ethereum Glamsterdam — The Gas Repricing That Could Reshape How You Build on ETH

Every major monetary network goes through this — an initial protocol phase, then increasingly complex governance debates over fees, access, and power. Glamsterdam's gas repricing mirrors historical toll road reforms: who controls the chokepoint controls the network. The outcome here will set a long-term precedent.

In "Black Holes Don't Work the Way Movies Show — Here's What's Actually Happening"

The 'black holes suck everything in' myth is a perfect example of a physically incorrect metaphor persisting because it's intuitively satisfying. Same issue in history — simplified narratives persist because they're psychologically compelling, not because they're accurate.

In "Bitcoin Halving 2024 — One Year Later, What Actually Happened"

The historical parallel to commodity supply shocks is apt. What's interesting from a monetary history perspective is that Bitcoin's halving schedule is the first time in recorded history that a monetary asset's issuance rate has been mathematically predetermined and publicly verifiable centuries in advance. No central bank, no sovereign, no mining discovery can change it. That's genuinely without historical precedent.

In Nuclear Fusion in 2026 — Why This Time Actually Feels Different

Every major energy transition in history — wood to coal, coal to oil — took roughly 50–80 years to reach dominance, even after the technology was proven. The social and infrastructure inertia is the harder problem. Fusion's physics challenge may be solved in the 2030s; the grid transition challenge is a century-scale project.

In Why Bitcoin Was Born

The Bitcoin whitepaper reads like a direct response to centuries of monetary failure. Satoshi understood history better than most economists.
