Topic: implementing BitCoin's 'soul' into the blockchain (Read 1042 times)
Bitcoin is whatever we want it to be. It's ours now, not the creators.
I would like to worship the concept of Bitcoin... but I am already a devout worshiper of a magical chipmunk called Dave.
not talking about worship.
all i am stating is that years from now, when people might use a version of BitCoin as currency,
this version of the protocol might be mutilated by governments and big organisations and the 'history' of how bitcoin started and what it was started to be might be manipulated and forgotten.
being forged into the blockchain this information might be a bit more resilient.
you can add stuff to the blockchain like porn links n shit, you should add satoshi's papers (assuming some bitcoiner hasn't done so already)

This post comes with the ever growing concern i share with many members of this community that the original and pure intent that we ascribe to bitcoin will somehow fade away and be robbed by governments and big organisations.
regardless if it might or might not be unavoidable i want to bring up an idea:
same as the people who printed the first dollar bills and coins inscribed 'IN GOD WE TRUST' as a motto for the united states and it's beliefs at the time or casascuis physical bitcoins are inscribed with 'VIRES IN NUMERIS' it is possible to imprint the blockchain itself with the BitCoin Concept.
as the blockchain can and does contain data that is not purely mathematical and is not only related to the transactions and the public ledger, how about trying to draft in a very minimallistic way the principal and goals of bitcoin [for ex. the way it is described in Satoshi's whitepaper http://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf] so it will stay in the blockchain forever?
