“Wealth isn’t gold; it’s energy. By 2000, there will be a scientific accounting system for wealth — aligned with the laws of physics.”
— Buckminster Fuller, 1967
Buckminster Fuller saw it coming decades before anyone else. A visionary nod to Bitcoin before the internet even existed.
Wealth isn’t gold. It isn’t paper. It isn’t digits on a screen. Wealth is energy — captured, stored, and transmitted through time.
Bitcoin is the first monetary system designed around this truth. Proof of work is energy transformed into digital scarcity. A scientific accounting system aligned with physics.
Fuller didn’t know about Bitcoin. But he knew what money had to become. We’re just now catching up to his vision.
