With the Fourth Halving now behind us, it feels like an ideal moment to offer some detailed analysis of Bitcoin through the lens of Number and Time, also known as Crypto-K. This term refers to a methodology developed over the years between a friend and me as we sought to understand a technical analysis of synchronicity — the notion that our reality adheres to some yet-to-be-defined acausal ordering principle. The K in Crypto-K stands for Kubrick, specifically Stanley Kubrick, the filmmaker behind 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Shining, whose enigmatic life and cinematic contributions are captivating magnets for synchronicity and the uncanny. It serves as the Monolith around which our methodology — and seemingly much else — is constructed.
Many readers are well aware that Bitcoin is an all-encompassing topic — a true rabbit hole. Similarly, Crypto-K is, in some aspects, a study of everything, or the connections among all things. This includes Bitcoin itself. Prepare to explore what unfolds when one rabbit hole converges with another.
What is the connection between Bitcoin and Crypto-K?
Both relate to Time, or perhaps more importantly, the issues surrounding it. Crypto-K seeks to ponder, “What is the significance of Time’s Pace?” While Bitcoin provides a modern twist on the classic adage “Time is Money.” How can we safeguard our MONEY from temporal entropy? Conversely, how do we defend our TIME against monetary entropy?
The considerations mentioned fit within the astro-alchemical framework of Saturn, the seventh classical planet. Known for its associations with laws, boundaries, inheritance, and burdens: “the labor of existence, the harvest of time” (Tarnas). Astrologer John Hughes has written of Saturn: “It symbolizes genuine worth, as opposed to mere appearance, and it bestows permanence and enduring properties to all things. Its influence is slow, deliberate, and unavoidable.” This resembles the BTC timechain: slow, thorough, and unavoidable, marked by its consistency and lasting essence. True worth — the labor of existence, the harvest of time, or fundamentally, proof of work.
Indeed, Satoshi, Bitcoin is Saturnine, without a doubt.
Saturn’s history appears peculiar when examined through the lens of alternative theory. In 1980, David Talbott introduced his book The Saturn Myth, which suggested that in ancient times, a different arrangement of the solar system had Saturn as Earth’s primary star, prior to a catastrophic event that disrupted everything.
While Talbott’s theory might seem far-fetched, there’s also Richard Hoagland, known for his theories about Saturn, especially its moon Iapetus, which he postulated could be an artificial body inhabited by extraterrestrial beings. It’s likely this idea was inspired by Arthur C. Clarke’s novelization of 2001: A Space Odyssey, where the climactic Monolith is presented as being discovered buried on Iapetus (not floating by Jupiter, as depicted in the film). Setting that aside, even conventional astronomers and scientists — who usually find microbe discoveries in soil to be thrilling — consider Iapetus and Saturn’s moons as prime candidates for potential life within our solar system.
Ultimately, your individual lens of perception may not matter: Saturn commands the overall narrative. As the seventh and slowest classical planet, it symbolizes the ultimate boundaries of material existence. In many respects, it represented the secret destination of Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Legend has it that the team’s special effects designers faced challenges in rendering a realistic depiction of Saturn, prompting a shift to Jupiter. This also adds another layer of meaning to the title of Kubrick’s subsequent film, A Clockwork Orange. The common interpretation of that title tends to be negative, suggesting what a human would become if robbed of the capacity to choose morality over immorality — something organic morphed into a mechanized, false entity. Bitcoin provides a counter-narrative: What occurs if something that started as a seemingly meaningless Saturnian process evolves into a truth-affirming force infused with organic richness, yet remains beyond the grasp of any oppressive authority?
Forget about “A.” Bitcoin itself embodies the clockwork orange.
But why orange?
Bitcoin became known as the “orange coin” when the logo was finalized by an anonymous user on BTC-talk, “bitboy,” on 11/1/10, the day after the second anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin white paper. He took Satoshi’s initial concept, refined it, added a 14% twist, and decided to make the logo orange. There was unanimous agreement that it was a superb choice, and it has remained unchanged ever since. The choice of logo aligned perfectly with an astute release date, as this date can be reduced to 11110, reflecting a 1963 executive order issued by President Kennedy regarding the release of silver certificates from the Treasury (occasionally cited by anti-Fed advocates as the reason behind JFK’s assassination). This serves as a fine example of a classic sync. There’s a possibility that bitboy (whoever he may be) intentionally chose this date for the logo release, recognizing the historical pun involved; however, it likely happened serendipitously, illustrating the broader acausal ordering principle referenced previously. The universe appears to have a sense of humor.
Satoshi Nakamoto published the white paper on 10/31/2008 — which happens to fall on Halloween. It’s conceivable that bitboy’s choice of orange for the logo was influenced by Halloween, considering it was two years later. Satoshi’s inaugural logo was gold, which eventually became orange, possibly to give Bitcoin a distinctive identity separate from the “shiny rock.” However, this transition was fitting from an alchemical standpoint. In an essay titled “Moon in the Middle” from The Sync Book Vol. 2, writer Mark LeClair offers a gnostic interpretation of reality (and the color orange) through a series of 7s: the 7 tones of the diatonic scale, the 7 days of the week, and the 7 colors of the rainbow which collectively convey the core truth of Creation: The Moon serves as the focal point of everything; the crucified Christ binds reality together. LeClair argues that each day of the week and color corresponds to different planets and stages in the gnostic creation narrative. It initiates with the color red and Venus on Friday, continues through Saturday with Saturn, and logically includes the next color in the spectrum, orange. “The color orange embodies deceit and distrust, pridefulness and passive assertiveness — a fierce tiger filled with orange rage, stealthily prowling among the ferns, poised to pounce and consume the soul from within. The hue of gold also emerges from orange, rather than yellow, as commonly mistaken. Gold signifies the attainment of royal status and divinity via alchemy, an endeavor ruled by Saturn.
As Ideal Money and the ultimate digital gold, the “orange coin” is perhaps the pinnacle of alchemy. The ultimate attainment, perhaps, of “Cronos, the creator of Time, the Clockwork Orange… he is hardy and resourceful, astute and too perilous to dismiss as a mere embodiment of banal evil… Nourish him. Deliver to the devil what is his. Milk and cookies on the counter might suffice.”
This imperative to feed the beast may parallel how Bitcoin must be “fed” with more electricity to fuel the global “macro-chip.” By no means am I equating Bitcoin with the devil, yet it’s worth noting that Satoshi published the white paper on All Hallow’s Eve — and serendipitously, the BTC timechain had been operational for exactly 666 days on Halloween 2010, or the day preceding the famous orange logo’s release.
Moreover, there exists an even grander connection with Bitcoin and 666 in a calendrical context. Satoshi provided a birth date when he registered with the P2P Foundation: 4/5/1975, exactly corresponding to the 42nd anniversary of FDR’s EO6102, which unequally confiscated the private gold holdings of U.S. citizens. In the late 1980s, an issue of The Economist bore the headline, “Get ready for a world currency” supported by a “Golden Eagle” atop a pyre of burning fiat currency (an image historically favored by conspiracy theorists). The cover date for this issue was 1/9/1988.
Thus, Satoshi Nakamoto was exactly 666 weeks old on the publication date of The Economist’s “world currency” edition. This magazine predates Bitcoin by years. Did Satoshi know about this when he “selected” his birth date?
Do you find that slightly intimidating? Consider this: There are 7 days in a week. Thus, after 6 weeks, there are 42 days. This means that in 666 weeks, there are 42×111 days. Is the number 666 viewed as ominous? Conversely, 42 is a whimsical, serendipitous number, right? So rather than thinking of Satoshi’s age of 666 weeks on the date of The Economist’s world currency article, let’s conveniently recount how he was 4,242 + 420 days old! Note, The Book of Revelation labels 666 as the “number of the Beast.” However, observe how something as ordinary as the clockface subtly conveys it right before us all the time: three overlapping hands — 60 seconds, 60 minutes, 24 (6) hours. The number of the Beast corresponds to the number of the Clock. 666 represents the Fourth Seal of Crypto-K. The Beast symbolizes time, governed by Saturn. While some may misinterpret it, there’s little to fear, especially now that we possess Bitcoin.
To explore the dynamics of synchronicity, we utilize a concept we refer to as the parent-thesis, a dialectical model where two points in time (“parents”) generate a third point (the “child”) at the exact midpoint between them. Whether it revolves around an individual’s midpoint in life or the period between two deaths or two film releases, it establishes a static synchronicity that is worthy of examination and classification. In the case of Satoshi Nakamoto’s birth and the publication date of the cover of The Economist world currency issue, the two dates 666 weeks apart generate a midpoint of 333 weeks either way around 8/22/1981 — which coincidentally marks the day NASA’s Voyager 2 probe approached Iapetus, initiating its journey towards Saturn. This flyby was significant in revealing the existence of the equatorial ridge on Iapetus, now regarded as the third tallest mountain formation in our solar system.
In harmony with the theme, 8/22/1981 also marked the release of a horror B movie titled Evilspeak, featuring Clint Howard as Stanley Coopersmith (= 237, standard gematria), a nerd who discovers the lair of a 16th-century warlock in his military academy’s basement, using his computer skills to summon the Devil to take revenge on his bullies. The film commences with the bullies mocking him as “Stanley Cooperdick,” amplifying the Stanley Kubrick allusions even further. Here, we witness a Stanley employing technology to interface with Satan (a form of artificial intelligence), commandeering it to fulfill his objectives. This release coincided with Voyager 2’s encounter with Saturn and the capture of images of the moon Iapetus (or so we’re informed) — aligning with the midpoint of 666 weeks between Satoshi’s birth and the world currency issue of The Economist. As the “clockwork orange,” Bitcoin might metaphorically be perceived as a new variety of artificial life, conjured through computers — a decentralized phoenix emerging from the ashes of centralization: Satoshi Nakamoto.
According to Douglas Adams in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a powerful artificial intelligence in the future is designed to respond to the inquiry regarding “life, the universe, and everything,” returning after countless millennia of processing to reveal the answer 42 — which we designate as the First Seal of Crypto-K. Satoshi held a fondness for 42 and initially contemplated a total supply of Bitcoin at 42 million, but later revised it to 21 for economic considerations — and, notably, there’s the halving every 210,000 blocks (which equates to two halvings for every 420,000 blocks). Regardless of intention, Satoshi first publicly announced his creation on the 42nd day of 2009.
Additionally, we can’t ignore the significance of the difficulty adjustment — often considered a hallmark of Satoshi’s ingenuity — which occurs every 2,016 blocks. Satoshi could have established the adjustment every 2,100 blocks, matching the supply cap and halving intervals. Instead, he opted for 2,016, a number that was 42 + 42 less than 2,100. There are straightforward explanations for this, alongside a plethora of more riveting interpretations. Was it a reference to 2016 being 6102 — the numeral corresponding to FDR’s gold confiscation mandate, signed 42 years before Satoshi’s birth — in reverse? Perhaps because 2016 reduces to 216, which is 6x 6x 6, loaded with Kabbalistic implications. Or it might simply be that this selection enabled a difficulty adjustment every 14 days instead of every 14.58333 days. It embodies all these elements: Satoshi synchronized his innovation with the workings of the clock and the calendar, harmonizing it with movement celestial mechanics. Consequently, it fell naturally within others’ predetermined patterns of time’s pace, ripe for analysis and dissection by Crypto-K.
Nonetheless, there always exists another sync, alongside perpetual chances to misinterpret the sync as indicative of conspiracy. Certain events occurring in the year 2016 have intertwined within the historical narrative, making Satoshi’s choices appear conspicuous. Most notably, on 11/9/2016, Donald Trump won the presidential election — the orange man —. Yet on the contrasting date, 9/11/2016, Hillary Clinton seemed to collapse and was swiftly whisked away in a van, likened to a side of meat. Many interpreted this at the time as consequences shaped by 4chan users and meme connoisseurs, unwittingly invoking an ancient Egyptian frog deity dubbed “Kek.” This ignited a significant internet movement with a food-related name that we shall refrain from mentioning, later evolving (or being co-opted by) the Q operation that commenced a year later. Did Satoshi possess foresight regarding the year The Plan™ was to launch and embed it in Bitcoin? Likely not, yet it became an encoded aspect nonetheless.
Another noteworthy example of “2016” encoding ties back to the late JFK Jr., who perished in a plane crash with his spouse on 7/16/1999 — the day Stanley Kubrick’s posthumous work Eyes Wide Shut was barred from release. JFK Jr.’s demise plays a significant role in the lore of certain Q-adjacent conspiracy theorists, espousing that he, with Trump’s assistance, faked his death in 1999 and plans to return when the moment is opportune. Hypothetically, where have we encountered a tale like that? However, it’s essential to highlight the truly bizarre nature of the situation. JFK Jr. was born on 11/25/1960 and died on 7/16/1999, indicating that his life spanned exactly 2,016 weeks.
If we analyze JFK Jr.’s 2,016-week lifespan as a parent-thesis and seek to find its midpoint, precisely 1,008 weeks into his life arrives on 3/21/1980, the broadcast date of the season 3 finale of the TV show Dallas, dubbed “A House Divided,” noted for featuring the iconic death by gunshot of J.R. Ewing — a historical TV moment. “Who shot JR on Dallas?” became a pop culture phenomenon in 1980 akin to “Who shot JFK in Dallas?” in 1963 — and the timing of JFK Jr.’s passing aligns intentionally with this episode, a cheeky re-enactment of the Father’s demise aired at the midpoint of the Son’s life.
*If* JFK Jr. did fake his death, he apparently executed this by ensuring his official fake lifespan subtly hinted at the year in which his friend would become president, alongside referencing a TV episode about his Father’s death. Why would anyone contrive such a thing, though? Disregard the clickbait conspiracy fodder. JFK Jr. remains dead as a doornail, and increasingly, it feels like no one collectively chooses to engage in any of these actions deliberately. We are, once more, observing the acausal ordering principle that Carl Gustav Jung discussed in his work Synchronicity — whatever this VALIS suggests, indicating that disparate individuals and happenings might emerge from the same foundational operating principle, which we might label VALIS, the salvific entity reshaping our reality, enlisting us as instruments in this unfolding.
Orange man, meet orange coin. Is it an auspicious union? However, thus far, the individual seems to have retracted his comments about the coin following a near denouncement during his presidency. A lesser-known fact reveals that the orange man’s presidency began on 1/20/2017, which was precisely 420 weeks after the genesis of the orange coin in the Genesis block on 1/3/2009. This suggests a deeper connection beyond mere color — after all, Trump isn’t truly orange, just as Bitcoin isn’t actually orange either. In both instances, it symbolizes branding. Critics (and supporters) of Trump have often remarked on his immunity to criticism, implying he could commit audacious acts without consequence — exaggeration emphasizing his ability to absorb any adverse energies and transmute them into positive outcomes. It bears resemblance to Bitcoiners’ recurrent assertion that “everything is beneficial for Bitcoin.” Both phenomena possess that enduring Saturnine essence — or perhaps it relates to something inherent to the color orange.
Multiple calendrical correlations between the orange man and the orange coin manifest. For instance, Satoshi’s “birthday” on 4/5/1975 coincided with the day subsequent to 4/4/1975, the moment Donald Trump turned 1,503 weeks old, coinciding with the founding of Microsoft by Bill Gates and Paul Allen. The number 153 correlates to our second seal in Crypto-K and represents one of the most paramount and enigmatic figures in existence. This duration of 1,503 weeks aligns closely with the astrological Saturn Return, marking the time of Saturn’s full cycle and coinciding with the transition into adulthood (commonly known as turning 30). This phase of Trump’s life was embroiled in legal battles with his father concerning civil rights violations.
Actor Heath Ledger, who passed away on 1/22/2008, was born four years after Microsoft’s inception (on 4/4/1979), meaning he was exactly 1,503 weeks old at his demise.
For Trump, it was the full legal consequences of Uncle Sam raining down upon him —while for Ledger, Saturn’s reckoning manifested as an accidental overdose (or so we are led to believe). According to NASA, the verified duration of Saturn’s orbit is 10,756 days. The day when Heath Ledger would have turned 10,756 days was 9/14/2008, the 237th day post his passing! It becomes noteworthy then that this highlighted timespan — 1,503 weeks — is actually 237 days short of a complete Saturn orbit! 237 stands as the Third Seal of Crypto-K, prominently spotlighted by Stanley Kubrick in The Shining and, alongside 153, they link the Saturn Return of the orange man to the birth of the orange coin’s creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
Ultimately, Satoshi Nakamoto was “born” a day after Donald Trump completed 1,503 weeks of age (which was simultaneously when Microsoft was founded), 42 years following the EO6102 — and the Bitcoin Genesis block was mined 420 weeks prior to Trump’s swearing-in.
Furthermore, Satoshi registered his website for the forthcoming digital ledger on 8/18/2008, exactly 210 days after Heath Ledger’s death. This was precisely 1,053 weeks after Donald Trump reached 42 years old.
Donald Trump’s initial Monday in office—1/23/2017—served as his K-Day, synchronized with Stanley Kubrick’s age at the time of death. The publication of the Bitcoin white paper took place 3,006 days or 1,503 + 1,503 days prior to Trump’s K-Day. The remarkable aspect of all this is the midpoint: 12/12/2012, the date when an individual using the name Nicholas von Saberhagen published the white paper that eventually developed into the privacy-oriented cryptocurrency Monero. Some speculate there might be an affiliation between Satoshi and Saberhagen (SN/NS). This was chronicled by “MoneroOutreach” in what appears to have been an April Fool’s revelation on 4/1/2020. It’s a fact that Satoshi made his last forum contribution on 12/12/2010, suggesting Saberhagen released the CryptoNote white paper on a two-year “delta” from Satoshi’s last message, analogous to the prompt unveiling of the orange logo shortly after the two-year “delta” of the Satoshi white paper.
Anyone acquainted with Infinite Jest realizes that April Fool’s day can resonate deeply (especially in spy narratives). Dismissing this report as entirely inconsequential would be ill-advised. Its tone feels off, akin to a jest being conveyed by a person who perceives it isn’t a jest, yet requires it to appear so while simultaneously communicating (without explicit signs) the underlying truth — Satoshi and Saberhagen were indeed the same entity.
This thoughtfully structured article points out three specific dates — two being known from the opening paragraph, and the third in the fourth paragraph, “August 13, 2010”, the date of a Satoshi forum post that first mentioned the privacy technology leading to Monero’s implementation. The significance of this day becomes evident when you check against the BTC Genesis block — 42 + 42 weeks apart, additionally correlating with a 42-week alignment concerning Trump’s inauguration occurring 336 weeks ahead (essentially equal to 77 months, 7 days!), paralleling Bitcoin’s difficulty adjustment that occurs every 336 hours. In other words, Satoshi’s preliminary mention of ring signatures appeared 420– 42– 42 weeks before Trump’s inauguration, akin to how difficulty adjusts every 2,100 – 42– 42 blocks.
The report from MoneroOutreach on 4/1/2020 was published exactly 20 days, 3 months, and 7 years post the Saberhagen white paper release — but even more intriguing conspiracy fuel comes from the fact that it was also day 1,776 after the tragic deaths of esteemed mathematician John Forbes Nash Jr. and his spouse Alicia in a car accident on 5/23/2015. John Nash — portrayed by Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind, is considered one of the more compelling contenders for the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto given his exceptional intellect across relevant disciplines. Forgetting the Academy Award-winning adaptation for a moment, the real John Nash was a visionary-grade cryptologist, mathematician, and game theorist with a lifelong interest in management economics (not to mention programming and the internet). Towards the end of his life (in the early 2000s), he lectured on Ideal Money and expressed concerns about countering the consequential effects of years of inflationary Keynesian monetary policies. One could hypothesize that those in charge of actualizing Nash’s ideas from a positional advantage wouldn’t be eager advocates for the concept of ideal money (Bitcoin). To make sense, it would have to be released “in a roundabout manner” (as postulated by Hayek). So, Satoshi Nakamoto was conceived as an alias for an individual already beset by inner voices — and thus vanished, out of the window of his taxi, once his overlords realized the implications of his work. That theory, if you subscribe to it.
The speculative details of this narrative, while rooted mainly in synchronistic evidence, deserve contemplation. In Clint Howard’s brother Ron Howard’s 2001 film A Beautiful Mind, Nash is represented by Russell Crowe, with his partner Alicia (historically an esteemed native citizen of El Salvador, interestingly) being portrayed by Jennifer Connelly. In this film, we observe Connelly/Alicia as a steadfast spouse assisting her partner as he grapples with “demons” while executing what he believes to be a divine mission. That movie debuted in December 2001 — but a notable coincidence arose 13 years later when Crowe and Connelly were paired as spouses once more in Darren Aronofsky’s 2014 epic film Noah, illustrating a similar dynamic where Connelly stands by her eccentric husband as he wrestles with his demons and pursues a task he perceives to have divine significance. Nash and Noah embody striking similarities, don’t they?
What was that work? Ah yes, constructing the Ark, a divine engineering undertaking intended to allow humanity and animals to survive the imminent flood. Many Bitcoin supporters have likened the orange coin to a financial Noah’s Ark during various discussions, suggesting it is divinely engineered to assist humanity in staving off an inflationary financial apocalypse, and Nash has emerged (independently) as a potential candidate for the anonymous architect of that financial Ark. This theory is further supported by the shared casting of the same actors who played Nash and his wife in one Hollywood production, then later as Noah and his wife in a different film about building the Biblical Ark! Yet, again, the dilemma arises: Does this feature intentional encoding from media creators or serve as evidence of Jung’s acausal ordering principle, where humanity cannot help but reveal itself time and time again in specific choices? The opinion on that matter will remain contentious.
So once again, the report dated 4/1/2020 concerning Satoshi/Saberhagen emerged 1,776 days post the untimely death of John Nash and his wife on 5/23/2015. If comparisons must be drawn, then consider how Queen Elizabeth’s passing on 9/8/2022 arrived a distinctive 1,776 days following the initial Q drop. The year 1776 remains monumental due to the foundation of the USA and is designated as the Fifth Seal of Crypto-K. Hence, these syncs certainly warrant attention — but it raises queries about whether these events relate to one another materially, even albeit infinitesimally. John Nash stands as one of the most persuasive candidates for the Satoshi title (not forgetting the cinematic casting embellishments), with this April Fool’s dispatch curiously timed concerning his demise, which should arguably be classified as an assassination. It seems the universe carries a deeper secret, employing us as tools to disclose it.
There’s an additional temporal clue linking Nash’s potential assassination on 5/23/2015 to Bitcoin: It happened precisely 333 weeks after the Genesis block was created. In essence, Nash’s life ended when the Bitcoin timechain was half of 666 weeks old. Should Nash have been eliminated for his covert affiliation with Bitcoin, those responsible would likely time it flawlessly according to secret rituals, potentially hinting at that — they display a penchant for 3s. Alternatively, it may suggest an entirely different narrative.
Nash’s passing transpired 333 weeks subsequent to the Genesis block — hence, we inquire what transpired 333 weeks before that block’s creation or 666 weeks ahead of Nash’s demise? That specific date is 8/17/2002, a Saturday. The synchronicity worth acknowledging is how that weekend (Friday, or the beginning of that week, in accordance with Mark LeClair’s assertions) a film premiered featuring Eddie Murphy entitled The Adventures of Pluto Nash. Set on the Moon in the year 2087, Murphy embodies Pluto Nash, an ex-con striving to operate a successful lunar nightclub while evading the lunar mafia. Despite a robust cast, the film was a catastrophic failure, yet the universe often uses such flops to conceal profound truths. The name Pluto symbolizes Hades, or death itself, rendering the combination of Pluto and Nash within the title character (where Nash is relentlessly pursued by the “Mafia” seeking to end his life) particularly significant, released precisely 666 weeks ahead of the tragedy that claimed John Nash and his spouse — with the BTC Genesis block poised at the midpoint. It’s not just noteworthy; it’s downright eerie.
Another interesting detail concerning John Nash that correlates with Crypto-K’s framework is that he was born the same year as Stanley Kubrick — 1928. Specifically, Nash’s birthdate of 6/13/1928 and Kubrick’s birthdate of 7/26/1928 frame a mere 42 days. The Shining launched nationwide on 6/13/1980, while it premiered three weeks earlier on 5/23/1980, identifying the date of The Shining’s release as coinciding with John Nash’s 52nd birthday, while Nash and his wife faced a fatal crasheets. This lapse occurred 35 years following the premiere of The Shining — 35 years corresponding precisely to 420 months, and 52 years being 666 – 42 months. Thus, when someone reaches the milestone of 52, they are precisely one “reign of the Beast” (Rev 13:5) away from having been 666 months old.
The precise midpoint of John Nash’s life settled on 12/3/71. Do you perceive the significance? The 237? As we equate Nash with Kubrick, we can explore when Kubrick’s life midpoint transpired on 11/15/1963 — one week ahead of the JFK assassination.
Would you like to venture a guess at the time interval elapsed from Stanley Kubrick’s midpoint to John Nash’s midpoint?
It’s an exact 420 weeks. This matches the duration from the Genesis block to Donald Trump’s inauguration! More intriguingly, the date of Nash’s midpoint — 12/3/71 — coincides with the premiere of a musical composition by Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki, showcasing De Natura Sonoris No. 2, which later found its place in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining! Is there any conceivable way for this to get any more convoluted? Of course, this symmetry factor returns, highlighting what we refer to as a parent-thesis: Nash’s midpoint emerged 420 weeks following Kubrick’s midpoint, establishing the query of what events transpired 420 weeks prior to Kubrick’s midpoint? The answer defies expectation: 10/28/1955, the birthday of Bill Gates, previously referenced while connected to Microsoft’s inception the day before Satoshi Nakamoto’s “birthday!” Oddly sufficient, isn’t it?
In A Beautiful Mind, Jennifer Connelly represents a wife striving to protect her child, unwittingly uncovering evidence of her husband’s schizophrenia. It’s almost an exact mirror of The Shining, where Shelley Duvall, striving to safeguard her child, stumbles upon her husband’s writings establishing his insanity. Mark LeClair reiterates that Jack Torrance symbolizes Saturn, the demiurge and “master of time,” a role Kubrick also attributes to himself via the behind-the-scenes documentary filmed by his daughter, Vivian Kubrick, highlighting their similar appearances, as they both type intently at a typewriter while frequently challenging “Wendy” — aka Shelley Duvall. Kubrick’s intent seems to equate himself with Jack Torrance’s character, thus portraying Saturn. Therefore, in the year 2001, the character of John Nash in A Beautiful Mind also represented this Saturnine theme, synchronous with Jack and Kubrick in The Shining —and it transpired again in Noah! It feels as if the universe (or VALIS) seeks to impart some message to us, and this is its form of expression.
Nash’s birth encapsulates 42 days bracketed by Kubrick’s birth, and his life midpoint on 12/3/71 unfolded 420 weeks post Kubrick’s midpoint.
What picture does this frame surrounding the end of their lives paint?
Upon consultation, one discovers that Nash’s passing occurred 846 weeks after Kubrick’s, equating to the sum of 420 + 420 weeks, in addition to 42 days.
Who is orchestrating all of this, and for what purpose?
One individual verifiably involved in the inception of Bitcoin was Hal Finney, present to support Satoshi when the first BTC client launched on 1/9/09 and the first BTC transaction occurred from Satoshi in block 170 on 1/11/09 — notably, this transpired precisely 153 + 153 + 153 weeks prior to the inaugural post from another anonymous online persona, Q (the 17th letter), made on 10/28/2017.
Hal Finney was born on 5/4/1956, meaning he was 19,237 days old on the date of the Bitcoin Genesis block. This provides the Third Seal, 237, paired with what we denote as the “Ruler” — 19. One notable trait of 19 is its alphanumeric equivalence to AI, short for artificial intelligence, currently characterized as humanity’s most pressing existential hazard. Some Bitcoin proponents boldly assert that BTC symbolizes the necessary counterbalance required to prevent AI from completely overtaking all centralized systems; however, they’ve yet to clarify how this would function in practice. In this sense — BTC vs. AI — the name “Hal Finney” resonates poignantly, as “Hal” connects to the malevolent AI from Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey: HAL 9000. “Finney” could be interpreted as finis, a closure; we could read as “HAL finished” — AI finished.
What significance lies within a name? In this case, perhaps the entire essence of a man’s purpose on this planet.
Initially, it was noted that Stanley Kubrick’s death on 3/7/1999 transpired exactly 666 days prior to 1/1/2001. It took some time for Crypto-K to ponder, What occurred 666 days before Kubrick’s death? That day eventually emerged as the moment chess grandmaster Gary Kasparov lost to the computer Deep Blue, marking the premier instance of a human bested by an artificial intelligence in match-play chess — mirroring Frank Poole’s defeat at the hands of HAL in the film. The synchronicity is compounded by the fact that IBM engineered the computer Deep Blue, modeling it after the Monolith from 2001!
The theme persists: Man vs. Machine, set against a chess backdrop representing the Game of All Time.
Does Bitcoin symbolize someone’s concept of checkmate?
On the 15th anniversary of Kubrick’s death, Satoshi Nakamoto appeared in digital public for the last time with a message proclaiming “I am not Dorian Nakamoto” — and then vanished, similar to Flight MH370 disappearing alongside Satoshi less than a day later. The time elapsed from Satoshi’s first publication to his last corresponded to 279 days or 42 + 237 weeks. Hal Finney would meet his own fate later that year, succumbing to ALS on 8/28/2014, exactly 4,200 hours post Satoshi’s final communication — while John and Alicia Nash faced death shortly after that.
Hal Finney’s passing on 8/28/2014 indicated his life midpoint occurred around 7/1/1985 — just 42 hours shy of the release of Back to the Future, a film about utilizing time-travel technology to avert a “terrorist” incident and undo a temporal curse.
