Stability in an Entropic Universe
Here’s the thing about the universe:
It doesn’t do stability.
Not really.
Everything trends toward disorder.
Entropy always wins -- not as punishment, but as probability.
There are more ways for a system to be disordered than ordered.
So over time, chaos is just… what happens.
So when someone says,
“This system is stable,”
what they mean is:
“We’re spending energy to hold it still.”
Finance Pretends It Can Freeze Time
Stablecoins claim to bottle certainty.
One token = one dollar.
But that dollar is:
- Inflating
- Backed by bonds
- Floating in a sea of debt and geopolitical risk
- Tied to a monetary system that only works if we all pretend it’s fine
That’s not “stable.”
That’s structured denial enforced by code and compliance.
Unstable Doesn’t Defy Entropy. It Accepts It
Unstable doesn’t offer a peg.
It doesn’t offer peace.
It offers motion.
It says:
This system is moving. Always.
So let’s build things that move with it.
It’s not safer. It’s not saner.
But it’s aligned with the rules of reality.
And that makes it, ironically, more durable.
Adaptation > Suppression
Nature doesn’t try to stop entropy.
It works with it by evolving, shifting, branching.
The most resilient systems aren’t the ones that resist change,
they’re the ones that can adapt to it.
That’s why ecosystems survive.
That’s why protocols fork.
That’s why memes mutate faster than policy.
Stablecoins build walls.
Unstable builds wings.
This Isn’t About a Token. It’s About a Lens.
Unstable isn’t just a coin. It’s a reminder:
- That no peg lasts forever.
- That every “stable” system is burning energy to delay the inevitable.
- That freedom often looks like chaos, and that’s okay.
To move with entropy is not to surrender.
It’s to acknowledge reality.
And build something honest inside it.
