Honestly, I am uncomfortable with the reference of the Tower of Babel in connection with Bitcoin. It is my understanding that God destroyed the Tower of babel because at that time it symbolized rebellion to him and an attempt to replace the true God which may end with catastrophe and problems for mankind. Of course, anybody can dispute what I am saying here as in anything that concerns the Bible and religion since this is one book subjected to thousand and one interpretation with only a select people granted its full understanding. So I am expecting that soon Bitcoin can be the tree of good and evil. But then again, I admire OP's great imagination and research passion. Kudos, man!

It’s very illusory. Recently, many people have combined Bitcoin and supernatural phenomena to think about it, but personally and my own knowledge and experience, I think Bitcoin is an investment product and a kind of technology, It is difficult for me, To combine civilization and God to imagine, I feel that the article is a little empty, and there is no more detailed analysis and exploration.

Here is a part of the Christian Bible, a story that most Christians all over the world know.

The chances that you would use the exact same language in the same order just randomly are very slim. Its obvious what you're doing: you're just copy/translating the works of others. These aren't your original concepts -- they belong to others. What are you actually doing here?

Mr. Nutildah, I have always respected you, and I have also seen your contribution to the forum. But I really don’t understand your criteria for judging plagiarism. You stare at every sentence of my article, trying to find evidence of my plagiarism. What I hope more is that you can see the views in my article and exchange views on the level of views, instead of doing everything possible to accuse me of plagiarism.

Here, I quote the story of the Tower of Babel in the Christian Bible, and the story of the Rainbow Covenant, which are used to describe the three characteristics of Bitcoin: language, trust, and collaboration. Here, the core is these three keywords, which is also my core point of view.

The story of the Tower of Babel and the Rainbow Covenant is a story familiar to Christians all over the world. I believe anyone can quote this story. At the same time, I also explain here that when we named the project 3 years ago, we named it "Rainbow City". The source is the story of the Tower of Babel in the Bible, and the meaning of the rainbow originated here.

Is it true that any Christian quoting the story of the Tower of Babel is plagiarism?


This is my answer.

I have mentioned that Bitcoin allowed various AI to evolve into Silicon-based life forms with the support of date of open source in encrypted world and directly participate in human production and distribution. Bitcoin represents a new kind of human civilization.

Can Bitcoin possibly become the Skynet of human civilization?

Today I'll share with you a story from the Bible about the Tower of Babel for inspiration. In my opinion, Bitcoin is currently building a collectively coordinated Tower of Babel.

Bible:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible

Quote
Here’s part of the original text:
Genesis 11:1 At that time, all humans shared the same language and accent.
Genesis 11:2 And as they migrated from the east, they came upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
Genesis 11:3 And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar.
Genesis 11:4 Then they said,“Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the havens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.”
Genesis 11:5 The LOAD came down to see the city and the tower, which mortals had built.
Genesis 11:6 And the LOAD said, “Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they purpose to do will now be impossible for them.
Genesis 11:7 Come, let us go down, and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
Genesis 11:8 So the LOAD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
Genesis 11:9 Therefore it was called Babel, because there the LOAD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LOAD scattered them.

That’s the story about the Tower of Babel. After the devastating flood, the first rainbow appeared in the sky. God used the rainbow as a sign of the covenant with humans on the earth that no flood would come ever and mankind in the world spoke the same language of the same accent. But later, humans began to doubt God's oath and embarked on building the Tower of Babel, provoking God. So God decided to change and distinguish the language of mankind, causing them scattered everywhere and therefore the Tower of Babel was abandoned halfway.


The story goes roughly like this:
  • 1.God uses the rainbow as a proof that he will never destroy the world with a flood again;
  • 2.People are suspicious of that proof because they think there is no reason to believe that their future depend on the rainbow;
  • .They decide to build themselves a city, and a tower with its top in the havens to make a name for themselves in case that they are scattered;
  • 4.God realizes that his pledge is under suspicion, punishment is on the way;
  • 5.He finds out the uniform language is the key of building the Tower of Babel;
  • 6.He changes and differentiates the language of mankind, which makes them scattered everywhere because of language barriers, leaving the Tower of Babel unfinished.


There’re three points: crisis of confidence, shared language, collective collaboration.


God agreed with mankind with a rainbow that he would no longer destroy the earth with floods. Mankind did not believe in the guarantee of the rainbow, so he built Tower of Babel to make his name known. Mankind is proud of it. Because human beings have a unified language that can realize collective cooperation, the tower can be built. God has changed and distinguished the human language, so that humans can no longer cooperate collectively.


Bitcoin is revolving around solving those three problems since trust, language and collaboration are the most primary characteristic of it. Bitcoin is rebuilding the Tower of Babel of human collective collaboration!


By this story, I wish it could help more people to better understand the features of Bitcoin, to look at Bitcoin in its real meaning.


In my opinion, Bitcoin indicates essentially a kind of collaborative network between humans and humans, humans and machines, and machines and machines under the same machine language based on machine trust, which is a social form to be built in the crypto world in the future and the true value that Bitcoin brings to human civilization.


As a collaborative network, Bitcoin has brought a globally efficient coordination method to mankind, minimizing the cost of trust. This consensus will inevitably promote the development of human civilization. That is the nature of digital Bit Civilization.


Bitcoin is rebuilding the Tower of Babel of human collective collaboration because it settled the issue of language, trust and collaboration. Do you agree with me?
