The map unpacks the complexity of Bitcoin whilst conveying the perspective of the paradigm shift it is bringing about. Paradigm shifts change everything from how you and I behave to how our society organises, and from our perceptions and meaning-making to the worldviews we collectively shape.

The upper and lower right quadrants describe Bitcoin and its influence in concrete and measurable terms, how it transforms our individual behaviours, and highlighting how it disrupts whole systems. Think of it as the visible tip of an iceberg.

In contrast, the upper and lower left quadrants reveal how adopting Bitcoin changes us from within, in subjective yet recognizable terms, and how its growing entrenchment in society influences the whole culture, with predictable changes arising in this inter-subjective space.

There is much interplay between the four quadrants. Bitcoin introduces a whole set of incentives irresistibly fostering its adoption. Little by little, we see individuals, families, organisations and governments alike step back, revisit their understanding of money, reassess social constructs taken for granted, change their time preference, revive their core values and realign their deeds accordingly.

This goes deep within: it largely happens below the surface, it’s the invisible part of the iceberg. That’s what makes Bitcoin so strong, stable, antifragile. That’s how it spreads, how it grew such a massive brand effortlessly without the need for any marketing department.
