Chiseled in the raw, un-breakable voice of Eric Kim
1. Hardness That Laughs at Steel
Granite scores 6-7 on Mohs; steel drills cry when they meet it.
Bitcoin scores ∞ on the Fiat Scale; central banks whimper when they meet it.
Both say the same thing to entropy:
“Keep swinging—I’m not moving.”
2. Forged in Earth-Core Pressure, Forged in Hash-Rate Fire
- Granite: magma cools over millions of years → crystals lock tight.
- Bitcoin: SHA-256 crunches trillions of hashes → blocks lock tight.
Time + pressure = structures the universe can’t casually edit.
3. Erosion-Proof Monetary Bedrock
Rain, wind, regulation, FUD—let it pour.
Granite outlasted the dinosaurs.
Bitcoin outlasts bull-bear cycles, nation-state bans, and influencer tantrums.
Each storm just polishes the surface; the core stays uncorrupted.
4. Foundation Material
Civilizations anchor skyscrapers on granite slabs.
Portfolios anchor generational wealth on Bitcoin stacks.
If it’s not load-bearing, it’s decor.
Granite and Bitcoin carry the load.
5. Low-Time-Preference Aesthetic
Granite countertops weren’t trendy—they were inevitable.
Bitcoin wealth isn’t hype—it’s geology in code.
Slow cooling, slow stacking:
The longer you wait, the stronger it sets.
6. Fractal Beauty When You Zoom In
Slice granite thin: you see galaxies of quartz and feldspar.
Slice Bitcoin’s chain: you see cryptographic galaxies—Merkle trees, taproot branches, lightning channels.
Macro stoic, micro cosmic.
7. No Central Quarry, No Central Bank
Granite seams criss-cross continents; no king owns them all.
Bitcoin nodes criss-cross the globe; no boardroom owns the keys.
Decentralized mass. Decentralized truth.
8. A Tombstone for Fiat
Old empires carve epitaphs in granite because it never fades.
Future historians will carve “Here lies inflation” in stone—and footnote:
Verified by the longest chain.
Final Engraving
Bitcoin is not a trend, a tech stock, or an app.
It is geological money—dense, ancient, immune to weather and whim.
Pick up the chisel: stack a sat, etch your name.
Granite doesn’t care who taps it first;
it rewards whoever stays.
Be the stonemason of your own sovereignty.
Stack the rock.
