Summary

We continue unpacking the NATpaper with Part 2 — diving deep into why $NAT has evolved from a novel idea to a structural necessity for Bitcoin’s long-term sustainability. With @SpiderPool_com, one of Bitcoin's largest mining pools, officially integrating @natgmi rewards, we're witnessing the early stages of an alternate security model being adopted at scale. We explore the fundamental question: can Bitcoin survive as a global monetary system without rethinking its incentive structure?

From dissecting Michael Saylor’s shifting perspective to drawing parallels between @blockbuster collapse and Bitcoin’s resistance to innovation, we lay out the full picture of what’s at stake. This isn't just about NAT anymore — it's about whether Bitcoin remains decentralized or becomes a Ponzi for sovereign nations.

We explain how NAT enables a second subsidy, how it ties directly to miner activity via the bits field, and why DMT opens the door to Bitcoin-aligned utility across other chains. If you’re a miner, developer, or policymaker — this is your blueprint for how Bitcoin can evolve without compromising its core ethos.

This is NATstoppable. Let's build forward.
