Many of you responded to my earlier thoughts about Bitcoin as “digital land.” 
Some questioned the metaphor. Fair.

Let me explain it differently.

Bitcoin is a protocol. Unchangeable, decentralized, borderless. 
You don't need permission to own it. No one can take it from you. That’s beautiful.

But we are human.

Humans build meaning. 
We keep photographs. 
We carve our names into trees. 
We frame paper that proves nothing more than a memory.

A digital deed doesn’t try to replace the blockchain. 
It doesn’t claim ownership. 
It symbolizes it.

Just like the Genesis Block is more than just block 0. 
Just like Laszlo’s pizza was more than lunch. 
Just like 21 million is more than a number.

The deed is not needed. 
But for some, it gives form to belief.

Bitcoin is real. But belief is emotional. 
This project isn’t for the protocol. It’s for the people.

I’m not asking for agreement. 
I’m sharing a lens — a way to look at sovereignty not just as function, but as feeling.

If the protocol is the land, 
maybe what I’m building is the map.
