Bitcoin would more be like a John and Sarah Connor character that is fighting against SkyNet aka Chinese and all other government parasites that are working with big tech corporations and insane individuals (fake elite).
Elon Musk is working on some robot that should be operational next year, he is messing around with Neuralink nanotech with brain chips, and check out latest videos by Boston Dynamics.
Decentralized networks like Bitcoin is actually a weapon in fight against centralized skynet-like AI control of human kind.

Forget about conscious AI, bitcoin isn't even turing complete. Bitcoin script can't perform loop.

Well, as I mentioned in this article, Bitcoin itself is difficult to evolve self-awareness, but the Bitcoin network provides open source data, and various blockchain projects in the entire crypto world are open source, so Will produce a steady stream of open source data. These data are the most valuable, and these data happen to be the food for the evolution of various artificial intelligences.

Undeniably, your article is full of science fiction. What I want to say is that artificial intelligence has replaced manpower and changed the mode of production. Bitcoin has completed the transfer of value and changed the mode of value circulation.

These two are the greatest in the Internet era. Invention, but each is independent. It is not interdependent. Your statement is a mistake. There is no absolute existence in the world, but the emergence of every great invention is unstoppable.

Human brain activity or our thoughts originate from our cognition. Our cognitive process is actually an information processing process. According to the "database" of each individual's brain, we analyze and say the corresponding words and then do things. Perhaps the database of artificial intelligence continues to grow stronger, but it is not that artificial intelligence has the ability and awareness of self-learning. So I don’t agree with you. The machine has no life.

I don’t know enough about the others, and now I want to know that I’m going to eat. Thank you for your article, I am a little tired. Not only is it long, it's also hard to understand.

Have you ever seen a very famous science fiction movie of the 1980s, Terminator. Remember the super artificial intelligence Skynet in that movie?

Skynet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynet_(Terminator)


The Terminator is a 1984 science fiction action film directed by James Cameron. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator, a cyborg assassin sent back in time from 2029 to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), whose unborn son will one day save mankind from extinction by a hostile artificial intelligence in a post-apocalyptic future.


Skynet is a fictional artificial neural network-based conscious group mind and artificial general superintelligence system. In the first film, it is stated that Skynet was created by Cyberdyne Systems for SAC-NORAD. When Skynet gained self-awareness, humans tried to deactivate it, prompting it to retaliate with a nuclear attack, an event which humankind in (or from) the future refers to as Judgment Day. John Connor forms a human resistance against Skynet's machines in the future, which include Terminators, and ultimately leads the resistance to victory.


From that movie, we can see that a super AI system can generate self-consciousness and fight against humans. 2021 is only 8 years away from 2029 of the movie and AI system has been speeding up evolving. Then eight or ten years later, is it really possible for artificial systems to garner self-awareness or wisdom?


Put AI system aside and take Bitcoin system as an example. Is it probably for Bitcoin network to has its own self-awareness and rise to be a super AI system or become something similar to Skynet in Terminator?


Personally, maybe Bitcoin network itself has no the ability to have self-awareness since its code is basically fixed and has no self-learning gear. However, others can rely on the data on Bitcoin network to develop a super AI system to gain self-awareness and evolve into Silicon-based life forms. With the development of Bitcoin network, Bitcoin has the richest economic data of open source in human civilization that are completely transparent and open to everyone. Different types of AI systems can absorb data from the network accordingly for evolution.


Databases, distributed storage, hash function, asymmetric encryption and consensus are no new technology,  however, Satoshi Nakamoto rearranged them and created Bitcoin, which triggered profound change in the evolutionary history of human civilization. Human civilization is evolving from Carbon-based to Silicon-based, from material to digital.


The conclusion can be safely drawn that Bitcoin network has become the most powerful network system in the world. At present, countless miners in the world are running hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin mining machines to ceaselessly support the stable operation of Bitcoin network, generating untold data for the recording of economic behavior of human beings every moment. These data are the most valuable asset. I believe with the help of these economic data, Bitcoin network will surely evolve into the Skynet and become the anchor of the entire human civilization.


However, Bitcoin network is fundamentally different from the Skynet in Terminator. With self-awareness, the Skynet began to attack human civilization and threaten mankind. Bitcoin network won't. It will coexist harmoniously with human civilization and lead it towards a higher level like a friend.


Blockchain and smart contracts are the key of that difference. When that movie was released, there was no blockchain technology. But it merged now with the birth of Bitcoin. Integrated with encrypted network, consensus mechanisms based on mathematical algorithms become tamper-proof.


The nature of mathematical algorithms is order, which is the cornerstone of consensus, the premise of value. While destruction represents disorder, which is valueless. Therefore, for Bitcoin network and other AI networks alike, order is the most basic prerequisite for evolution. Networks are symbiotic, so once these artificial networks attempt to damage human network, their own consensus mechanism is certainly the first victim for the reason that they have a shared future with humans . Silicon-based life forms and Carbon-based life forms must cooperate to maintain the same civilization.


For AI, to garner self-awareness, self-learning capacity is the core. Unfortunately, the basis of self-learning is multitudes of valuable data, which is exclusive and controlled by centralized institutions, especially large-scale Internet platforms such as Facebook and Google. These titans use data monopoly to get huge profits, but user groups, provider of data, have no access to it.


The good news is, Bitcoin expelled data monopoly, all data on Bitcoin network is open and transparent, and anyone has access to it. That lay the most primitive foundation for the development of the entire encryption world---open source, making the world of value completely open and offering sufficient material for the evolution of AI.


All human economic behavior will be recorded on different blockchains in the form of open source data. In this way, AI can embark on learning and evolution and eventually generate self-awareness and become Silicon-based life forms.


That's the one of the most impressive functions of Bitcoin. I believe truly Silicon-based life forms will show up in ten years. That is the greatest significance of Bitcoin for human civilization. So it's reasonably that in one century, the Silicon-based lives will honor Satoshi Nakamoto as the Father of Robots. He enabled AI to engage in social production and distribution and provided innumerable open source data for their evolution.


In the next one or two decades, the crypto world centered on Bitcoin network will help assortment of AI evolve self-awareness, become Silicon-based life forms and participate in the production and distribution of human society. Do you agree with me?
