Dear Bitcoin Miners,

We wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the critical role you play in securing the Bitcoin network and ensuring its future.

Your dedication to the decentralized and secure infrastructure of Bitcoin has kept it resilient and vibrant, and we recognize that the future of mining is facing new challenges as the landscape around Bitcoin evolves.

We understand the concerns you’ve shared about the long term sustainability of mining rewards. The current subsidy model is undeniably in a perilous state, and as the subsidy continues to halve, many of you are understandably anxious about what the future holds. Bitcoin has always been about more than just speculation or price, it’s about decentralization, security, and trust.

Yet, as Bitcoin becomes increasingly financialized through ETFs, proxy stocks, and other off-chain mechanisms, we see that the pressure on miners is intensifying.

The key issue is this: If the fees generated by on-chain transactions aren’t enough to support miners, where does that leave the network’s security and decentralization?

This is where $NAT comes in.

$NAT (Non-Arbitrary Token) is designed to provide a solution to this very challenge. By directing newly generated $DMT-NAT tokens to miners who win blocks, we’re creating a direct, sustainable subsidy that’s not subject to a halving schedule that will persist post the Bitcoin subsidy era.

Unlike traditional token generation models, $NAT production is tied to Bitcoin’s immutable data layer, utilizing the thermodynamic properties of Bitcoin’s block data to ensure that a valuable, consistent resource is created with each new block. This resource is then directly distributed to the miners, offering them an additional layer of support as the subsidy decreases over time.

What this means for you is simple: Your concerns about the future of mining rewards are alleviated. With $NAT, you’re not reliant solely on transaction fees. You’ll receive a new form of digital commodity, designed to support you and keep the mining economy vibrant and sustainable.

By embracing $NAT, the long-term viability of your operations is protected, helping ensure that Bitcoin continues to be secure, decentralized, and censorship-resistant for generations to come.

This is not just a token. It’s a model of sustainability built on the principles of Digital Matter Theory, one that recognizes the vital importance of miners and seeks to empower you, not just today, but well into the future.

We’re committed to working with you as we redefine the incentive structure in a way that honors Bitcoin’s core principles while providing tangible, sustainable rewards for those who maintain the network.

If you believe in sustaining the Bitcoin network, retweet this message so miners become aware of this ecosystem contribution.
Bitcoin’s fee market is drying up—empty blocks, off-chain settlements, and a shrinking subsidy are setting up a long-term sustainability issue

We explore how $NAT (@natgmi), built on Digital Matter Theory, could be the breakthrough fix Bitcoin needs ⚡️

Why Bitcoin ustainable Subsidy Token 🪙 (DIGITAL SILVER)
youtu.be/VcmIEY6Ttb0

Bitcoin is facing a critical challenge that’s catching the attention of major miners. Recently, Bitcoin blocks have been processing a low volume of transactions, leading to near-zero fees. As Bitcoin becomes more financialized, most transactions are now settled off-chain, further reducing on-chain activity. The growing "store of value" narrative only amplifies this issue, discouraging transaction volume even more.

While this isn't an immediate crisis, the decreasing block subsidy—halving every four years—means the problem will only grow more urgent. Enter **$NAT**, the first sustainable Bitcoin subsidy solution powered by the **Digital Matter Theory** framework. In this video, we break down how $NAT helps alleviate these pressures and how its increasing value triggers different levels of operational support over time. Plus, we introduce a new feature on **natgmi.com** @natgmi that visually demonstrates this impact.

The Bitcoin Sun is dimming. 65% of the network just deployed the solar panels.

1/
The physical Sun has burned for billions of years. Fifteen years ago a new one was ignited at the center of the digital universe.

That Sun is Bitcoin.

A trillion-dollar furnace burning city to produce gravity, security, and light for the entire system.

Every four years a cosmic event hits: the Halving. The direct light (the block subsidy) is mathematically slashed in half.

Most of the timeline still trades memes. The digital solar system is quietly freezing.

2/
This digital Sun was hiding a thermodynamic secret.

It hasn’t only been emitting direct light. The extreme computational force required to keep the furnace burning has been blasting the network with ambient radiation.

Every 10 minutes a massive wave of residual energy gets permanently burned into the surface of every single block.

For over a decade that energy hit the ground and dissipated into the dark. Pure, wasted power. We simply didn’t have the technology to catch it.

3/
Then the architects looked at the math and built the ultimate invention.

They built the Solar Panel.

They called this technology Digital Matter Theory (DMT).

DMT isn’t a coin. It is a technological framework - a vast array of digital solar panels designed to look directly at the Bitcoin Sun and capture the ambient radiation that was previously going to waste.

4/
Point the DMT Solar Panel at the Bitcoin Sun and it absorbs the non-arbitrary residue of proof-of-work.

It takes that wasted radiation and converts it into pure, crystallized Solar Energy.

That energy is ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247.

ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247 is not printed out of thin air. It is not created by VC marketing. It is the literal, physical output of the Bitcoin Sun, captured and stored. As the Sun burns hotter and network difficulty rises, the solar energy becomes mathematically harder to extract.

5/
The heavyweights of the network - massive mining farms including @AntPoolofficial, @f2pool, @ViaBTC @luxor and @SpiderPool_com - didn’t panic as the Sun’s direct light began to dim.

They didn’t beg for the code to be changed.

They simply deployed the Solar Panels.

Today, ~65% of global hashrate has quietly pointed their panels at the Sun. They are sweeping up the ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247 solar energy to power their operations and secure the future of the network.

You can debate market cycles all day long, but you can never negotiate with the Sun. The energy always finds a way to balance the ledger.

The light is dimming. Deploy the panels.

The DMT-NAT community still mines because Bitcoin has the power to generate new digital commodities rooted in non-arbitrary properties - giving miners a stronger incentive to mine and assets that can be traded on the open market. DMT-NAT is the first token based on Digital Matter possible

NAT's utility is anchored to Bitcoin's difficulty (bits), making it a direct proxy for network health. As a result, NAT has become the first digital equivalent of a physical commodity and the first speculative vehicle that tokenizes Bitcoin's security. Born in November 2023 as an experiment, it has turned out to be the most eloquent way to price Bitcoin's true security value. Since security is the cornerstone of Bitcoin's value, NAT acting as its proxy is critical to the entire ecosystem.

As Bitcoin's hashrate rises, the numerical value of bits decreases. Consequently, NAT issuance per block drops, making it harder to mine - mirroring Bitcoin's own halving dynamics. Even if all the energy of the sun were harnessed for Bitcoin mining (x2.347 * 10^16), NAT issuance would sit at roughly 250–260M per block.

There would still be enough tokens left to mine even as the BTC block subsidy decays to zero. Its potential value scales directly with Bitcoin's energy-driven growth, reinforcing its role in a non-arbitrary digital economy.

In a post-halving world, traditional block rewards aren't enough. Without a market-driven secondary subsidy, the original ethos of a decentralized financial system ultimately fails.

Mining pools that integrate native secondary subsidies like DMT-NAT will give honest miners a real economic reason to stay loyal and keep securing the chain.

Huge thanks from the DMT-NAT community for all your hard work! We’d love to have you on board with us.

Day 521 #NatTo1bChallenge

The year is 270 AD. The mighty Roman Empire is about to collapse.

For 50 years, the empire has been devaluing its currency, watering down its silver coins with cheap copper to pay its armies.

With the treasury bankrupt, the borders are falling, the and the empire’s "security budget" is practically zero.

Then, Emperor Aurelian rises. He realizes you cannot protect an empire with fake money. He violently reforms the currency, restoring physical, honest assets to the treasury and funding the legions.

He saves Rome, earning the title: Restitutor Orbis - The Restorer of the World.

Today, the exact same crisis is quietly happening to Bitcoin. ⚔️👇🧵

1/
Bitcoin is modern Rome. It is a digital empire backed by the greatest army of computational machinery on Earth.

But it has a fatal, slow-bleeding wound.

Every four years, the block subsidy (the paycheck paid to miners to secure the network) is cut in half. Transaction fees aren't making up the difference.

Bitcoin's security budget is on a mathematically guaranteed countdown to zero.

If the miners cannot afford to run their machines, the empire falls.

2/
Enter the savior: ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247 (The Restorer of the Ledger).

Since Day 1, Bitcoin hasn't just been producing coins. The massive energy spent by miners has been leaving behind a natural, uncorruptible "digital residue" in the block data.

Think of it like gold dust left behind in the gears of a giant machine.

For 15 years, this data just sat there. Digital Matter Theory (ethereum:0x0b7f0e51cd1739d6c96982d55ad8fa634dd43a9c) gave us the tools to extract it.

3/
The people in charge of the big armies - the massive global mining pools like @ViaBTC, @f2pool, @luxor @SpiderPool_com and @AntPoolofficial didn't panic about the dying block subsidy.

They looked at the raw physics of ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247 and saw their second paycheck.

They didn't have to change Bitcoin's code. They didn't have to beg for a bailout. They just had to mine the natural residue of their own work.

4/
Today, 65% of the global hashrate has quietly pledged its allegiance to ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247.

Like Aurelian, they are restoring the security budget of the empire using natural, un-debasable physics.

ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247 is the second block reward. It cannot be fake-printed by VCs, and it can't be altered by team admins. It is forged directly by the heat and hashrate of the Bitcoin network.

While the retail timeline chases hype and fleeting narratives, the legions are quietly securing the future of the network.

They are front-running the market, sweeping up the digital real estate before the world wakes up.

Don't ignore the math. You cannot cheat thermodynamics.

Front-run the hashrate.

Or explain to yourself later why you waited.

Asking Why buy DMT-NAT is the same as asking Why buy insurance or Where does the demand for insurance come from

We never ask why someone pays for insurance - we ask what it actually does for us.

We buy insurance simply because the thing we're protecting is valuable, and if nt to be hedged against it.

Bitcoin is no different. We buy BTC as insurance against the financial system breaking. Our wealth matters to us, so we choose Bitcoin. Bitcoin is insurance - a hedge against fiat inefficiency.

NAT is no different either. We buy NAT because we recognize Bitcoin isn't perfect and has its own inefficiencies - economic flaws that need solving. Nothing is perfect, which is precisely why we hedge in the first place.

That is the ultimate use case for NAT.

Let's be honest: Using BTC for daily transactions was never why we bought it in the first place.

We're not saying NAT is the only solution to Bitcoin's economic flaws, but right now, it's the only option available to hedge against something breaking.

Value follows belief. Bitcoin proved it first.
Are you seriously comparing BTC to DMT-NAT?

BTC has independent demand as a store of value. What drives sustainable demand for NAT?

Sorry Dan, you don't get to call people retarded if you site hash power as a measure of security.

Security is measured in the cost of attack which is equal to the Bitcoin mining revenue.

Revenues are declining which is why you see several miners pivoting away from Bitcoin:
IREN
3. Keel Infrastructure
4. Riot Platforms
5. TeraWulf
6. Cipher Mining
7. Hut 8

This is in 2026 and their collective power is 2.2 gigawatts, which is enough to power 1.65 million homes or power the 4th largest city in the U.S.

The issue is the trend. Either Bitcoin exponentially grows forever (impossible) or Bitcoin finds another way to maintain security aka high cost of attack.

THE 3-YEAR PARALLEL:

Why ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247 ’s 36-Month Journey Mirrors Early Bitcoin (And Why You Are Ignorantly Fading It)

MicroStrategy is betting a $40B treasury on a 100-year timeline, but the math says Bitcoin’s security budget collapses rally disclosed this "declining block subsidy" risk to the SEC.

While the timeline trades memes, 65% of global miners are quietly fixing the math right now.

Bitcoin’s first 3 years and ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247 ’s first 3 years share the exact same structural DNA. The parallel is undeniable. 🧵👇

1/
Compare their first 36 months of existence.

Both went through obscurity → a parabolic bubble → and a brutal 80%+ wipeout that flushed the tourists.

We are exactly where Bitcoin was in Jan 2012. But the players are completely different.

2/
Bitcoin’s first three years built a community from zero on laptops.

ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247 is hitting its 3-year mark with the industrial base already online.

While centralized exchanges list VC dumps, the greatest miners on Earth - @AntPoolofficial , @f2pool , @ViaBTC , @SpiderPool_com , and @luxor - are actively mining the second subsidy at the base layer.

3/
You cannot cheat thermodynamics.

ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247 is the non-arbitrary residue of proof-of-work. Tokens are generated directly from the "bits" field in every Bitcoin block header.

No team discretion. No protocol changes. Just thermodynamic scarcity. Higher network hashrate = fewer NAT minted.

4/
Bitcoin spent its first 3 years proving the idea could exist.

ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247 is spending its first 3 years plugging a structural bailout into the existing hashrate.

Physics does not care about timeline narratives. The miners who understand the declining security budget already know this.

Front-run the hashrate. Or watch the miners own the float while you explain to yourself why you waited.

You are trying to guess the next Bitcoin top. The miners are trying to survive the next halving.

The original block subsidy is bleeding out. L1 fees are stuck under 1%. The math points to a security budget collapse.

But 65% of global hashrate isn't panicking. They are quietly mining the second block reward.

ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247 isn't a crypto narrative. It is the structural bailout for the protocol.

Keep ignoring it. The infrastructure will gladly mine your share before you wake up.
