Topic: The relationship between Bitcoin and human civilization (Read 469 times)

Although Bitcoin is only a cryptocurrency but this currency has brought different communities of the world on a platform like bitcoin talk. Millions of people come to talk and negotiate on different topics may be political, financial, or other issues of the world. It has eliminated the differences of border, creed, religion, colour and race. In reality, bitcoin is playing a good role for good human civilization.

the relationship between bitcoin and human civilization, the presence of bitcoin has changed the mindset of humans, and human insight is increasingly advanced, along with the development of technology, and the internet era already exists, so humans can make their own designs to regulate the bitcoins they have, without any third party intervention.

Bitcoin is a new financial system under the current digital economy trend, and a new invention that changes the process of human civilization.
The decentralized nature of bitcoin makes it so that no one can control it, and anyone can use Bitcoin. The Bitcoin world is completely free, without government authority control, everything is free and equal.
The emergence of bitcoin created a new economic order around the world. Bitcoin has brought freedom and value to human society and brought human civilization to a higher level.

Why do I regard the birth of Bitcoin as a new civilization of mankind? Because it is fundamentally different from the existing civilization system of mankind. The existing civilization of mankind belongs to the civilization of centralized control, based on the management of human nature. The civilization established by Bitcoin is a civilization of decentralized control, based on mathematical algorithms. Of course, we can only say that we have seen the dawn of a new civilization and are far from reaching the stage of establishing a new civilization. As you said, Bitcoin has just been born 12 years ago. This time is too short. If we look back at today in 50 or even 100 years, we are standing at the starting point of a new human civilization. Those of us today belong to the founders of a new human civilization. I have no doubt about this.

Blockchain technology and bitcoin as the first decentralized cryptocurrency made a great contribution to the financial independence of people from the existing government. However, the emergence of bitcoin and decentralized cryptocurrency can hardly be regarded as the emergence of a new human civilization. The new human civilization is characterized by completely different criteria. Of course, this is an important event, but not enough to compare it with the beginning of a new human civilization.
In addition, cryptocurrencies need to be time-tested. Twelve years is still very little to talk about the world greatness of such an invention.

It's this kinds of people that we always need to get a daily reminder regarding the true essence or the initial purpose of something, they almost always completely forgot which makes things muddled up and end up with nothing but confusion. Although the majority still thinks of it right now as investment, it's still the same, we just found out ways to use it.

Bitcoin is a product of evolution. The birth of bitcoin was an inevitable result when computer science was born and developed. Since Alanturning invented the first mechanical computer to date, the application of computers in different areas of society, waiting for life has been very clear. People use computers for work more often. Along with computers, the banking system took advantage of that to make cross-border money transfers.
Banks' security problems with high transaction fees and long transaction times. It is Bitcoin that is key when it comes to revolutionizing anonymity on the Tor network, with zero transaction costs.
To date, Bitcoin has made millions of transactions and made people financially free. They get out of the bank and fight inflation. Assets are flowing into Bitcoin, long-term Bitcoin holders are reaping the rewards.

I absolutely do agree with you. One of the major reasons bitcoin is so popular even among the masses is because of the freedom it gives to the people. If you'd conduct a survey to know why people use bitcoin, you'd find out that majority would say it's because of the decentralised nature of bitcoin and the freedom it gives to the masses.
 Trust me, the emergence of bitcoin is nothing but evolution that will in future birth new things. We are only in the early stages of what it is to come.

Technology created by humans will always develop in accordance with human civilization, such as current technological advances that have given birth to bitcoin as a new currency that gives freedom to all people, and bitcoin is also an alternative to complete the needs of financial transactions easily and very efficiently.

the relationship between bitcoin and human civilization, in the era of the internet, everything we do must be accessed via the internet, even we seek income through the internet, now money has appeared on digital, which makes it easier for us to make transactions without having to have a third person intermediary ,bitcoin gives us freedom in all aspects..

You topic had some good image in it. But bitcoin evolved with the help of education among the people. Even the people who are posting in the forum. So education making a huge difference in the civilization of human being. It also help the freelancer and college going students with financial support.

Yes, not everyone will recognize Bitcoin. Because the birth of Bitcoin seriously threatens the existing vested interests. They will try their best to discredit and suppress Bitcoin. However, no matter how powerful the resistance to Bitcoin is, the global consensus on Bitcoin is getting stronger and stronger. More and more ordinary working people are awakening their minds because of Bitcoin. They began to use Bitcoin to defend their wealth and began to say no to fiat currencies.

Some aware people are starting to build a broader bitcoin consensus but others are reluctant to introduce bitcoin. They choose to be silent and just use it themselves and they don't know what they are using. there will always be pros and cons to bitcoin. Bitcoin can be a new civilization in transaction technology and be a good driver of the economy. but some people will not agree with bitcoin, bitcoin will be a threat.

Yes, Bitcoin is growing in more and more developing countries. The consensus of Bitcoin is constantly spreading, and more and more ordinary people have gained freedom of wealth and freedom of thought because of Bitcoin. Therefore, I said that Bitcoin is leading mankind into a new civilization.

In this digital era, bitcoin is a good financial system for today's human civilization and this includes new discoveries that change the direction of human civilization. Bitcoin moved us from centralization, control and tyranny to freedom, transparency and privacy, you may be able to feel real freedom when you get your financial freedom and this is what can be felt as a necessity in the digital age.

For, me, the blockchain could influence human civilization. There is more to it than what they are conveniently used for today.
Bitcoin opens up so many opportunities in this digital age. What more can it provide in the coming years?

I'm from Indonesia. It's not evenly distributed, but it's always growing. In my opinion, the growth of Bitcoin and crypto in Indonesia is significant, especially among the millennial generation and it seems that it is the same in other countries. Especially in these 3 years. Currently, in my home environment, many young people are entering the crypto market and trading bitcoin.

Bitcoin is not a single single currency, but a global transfer system, this system is not controlled by anyone, fair objective, currency is actually the incentive mechanism for this system. Bitcoin is limited, you can store the value, Bitcoin is completely controlled by yourself, can avoid danger, bitcoin free circulation, objective neutral, is a real free currency and the world currency, Bitcoin brings a new society with a new society. Organize the form, subvert the original centralized power structure.
This kind of shock of thinking cognition is like a Newton discovered that there is a gravitational force, and Columbus discovered the new mainland.

Yes, currently cryptocurrencies are only popular among a small group of people in a small group of countries. However, only this small group of people has already produced a huge amount of energy. At present, more and more people are awakening and are building a broader Bitcoin consensus. This is a very powerful force. A whole new human civilization is being built around Bitcoin.

In developing countries like Indonesia, as you said, the existence of cryptocurrencies is only known by a few circles and is not evenly distributed. Bitcoin or other crypto assets are only commodity assets that can only be traded and must not be the main currency for payments.

Bitcoin or cryptocurrency provides a new civilization on how to transact and provides freedom and cannot be controlled by anyone. besides the transparency provided by cryptocurrencies makes state officials reluctant to use it because all transactions will be recorded without being able to be deleted. If applied, all data will be recorded and corruption can be resolved.

Bitcoin toward human civilization is a sign that we are all still evolving regardless of the progress we made for the past million years. It is a sign of progress and innovation on how humans will make transactions in the future. Bitcoin was always mentioned as the future currency or in the New World Order's theory, it will be the very single currency the whole world will be using. Indeed, bitcoin's a new civilization and at the same time, a new generation where financial freedom and convenience can be assured so let us take advantage of the fact that we learned it earlier than other did because it will matter a lot in the future.

If everyone started and made any transaction using bitcoin, then satoshi Nakamoto's goal of creating bitcoin would be achieved. I think that currently, all bitcoin users are competing to take advantage of the moment to make a profit by creating markets, selling services, selling necessities of life, and so on. That makes bitcoin even more complicated. All charge a fee for the transaction, this means we pay 2x or more transaction fees, there is a possibility that bitcoin will be left as a means of payment or currency. Making the human relationship with bitcoin up and down. For those of us who in this forum already have a stronger relationship than those outside the community who still measure BTC assets into FIAT.

While realizing bitcoin as a global currency is very unlikely, hindered by the great interests of each country where we live, our countries have their own ambitions for reasons of "people's economic interests" and the creation of economic regulations that indirectly become a barrier to its development bitcoins. It took a long time to get bitcoin closer to humans as a whole.

all of us respect crypto as Asset or investment material , so all of us who had been engaging in this currency knows that someday we will make profit insignificant to our capital.
also not only in indonesia but all over the world that has not banning crypto, because even those who had banning yet some of people still keeping their coins so what more in our country that has allowed the trading and holding?
si Bitcoin and the human civilization has good and better relationship maybe it is still questionable now but sooner it will not.

No one would ever forget if ever Bitcoin would be replaced by something better in the future but basing up on the current support and demand of Bitcoin then its really hard to tell that it would be gone anytime soon.

We do recognize its total relevance and benefits which the creator itself is just really aiming for that decentralized way payment system and pretty sure that he wasnt even expecting for this thing to become this big.

The support is enourmous and this is a revolutionary kind of invention which lots had been grateful that it did exist on the first place.We dont hold the future but its truly remarkable and we can somewhat presume
that it would last for more decades to come.

Cryptocurrency or also known as a popular crypto asset in Indonesia to be used as an investment. A number of crypto assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Tether, and Doge have skyrocketed in value since the beginning of this year and are profitable for their owners. The relationship between bitcoin and human civilization is now starting to be very close, bitcoin has given us a new civilization, but we need to know bitcoin is not can eliminate corruption in our country..

Agree to this remember those days when the goal was to pay online with less fees, faster, and with the ability to track in realtime. Well, since we will continue to innovate in the future, bitcoin will most likely be there as well, whether as an investment, a means of online transactions, or a means of payment. However, for the time being, the majority of people regard bitcoin as an investment from which they will profit.

Also, bitcoin was born out of necessity, remember that the initial purpose of bitcoin was to be used for transaction and eliminate the middle man that is the banks. Remember that necessity is the mother of invention so the reason why there's bitcoin is because we see a need for it. Also, it's just a part of us as a civilization, there are more wonders that surpasses even bitcoin.

I don't think that Bitcoin and blockchain are completely separate concepts.Actually Bitcoin cannot exist without the blockchain,which means that Bitcoin is equal to blockchain.On the other hand,the blockchain can exist without Bitcoin and can be used for multiple things,like storing information(which isn't a very cost effective solution).
The OP is clearly exaggerating the influence of Bitcoin over the human civilization.I think that less than 5% of the global population is using Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies,which isn't a lot.Maybe Bitcoin/blockchain technology will have a significant impact over the human civilization in the next few decades.

Today’s challenge from Bitcoin as a plausible alternative currency depends on the superficially attractive notion that it is based on an inherently superior and more secure payment technology. The distributed ledger, or blockchain, offers a way of being absolutely secure about a transaction without the need for a central authority or bank as an arbitrator. It promises to replace electronic currency in traditional bank accounts just as surely as electronic transfers replaced paper money and as paper money succeeded gold and silver. It holds out the possibility of a major transformation in which the link between money and the state is broken. Libertarians celebrate the innovation as a way of shrinking state power; pariah states such as Venezuela and North Korea see it as a way of building an alternative to the international political order.

Here, I want to emphasize that the civilization established by Bitcoin is fundamentally different from the existing civilization of mankind. The existing civilization of mankind is a civilization of centralized control, and the civilization established by Bitcoin is a civilization of decentralization. Human beings are now migrating from humanity governance to protocol governance. The prosperous crypto world we are now building is the predecessor of the bit civilization. The encrypted world is now formatting the existing traditional world step by step. Attract traditional people, organizations, companies, art, funds, etc. to the crypto world.

i think saying that human civilization advancing is what led for bitcoin to exist, it is a good step forward i guess, because it is really successful right now (it still has a lot more to go from here) internet is a really big part of our civilization right now, and bitcoin and crypto in general is for sure one of many good things that people made on the internet, i actually believe one day we won't be using cash anymore and it would be just crypto or something similar, crypto could be a really big part of our civilization in the upcoming years.

Why can't we find encrypted information in our previous civilization? In my opinion, it is because we have not yet evolved to that stage. Perhaps in history, the earth’s civilization has gone through several reincarnations, until today we have come to a crossroads again. If mankind continues to fight endlessly, it is possible that a brand new nuclear war will completely destroy human civilization at this stage. Mankind must end internal struggles and establish a more fair and equal new order, so that human civilization can continue to evolve.

I also pondered on this topic. We are on planet Earth already as representatives of at least the sixth human civilization. Now we have irrefutable evidence that many thousands of years ago, the inhabitants of the Earth already went out into the near-earth space and even battles took place there, while technologies and substances were used that our civilization still does not have. We also have confirmation that many millennia ago, nuclear weapons were also used on Earth. That is, almost all the inventions of the current human civilization have already been invented before us, and perhaps even more than once and with different versions of their existence.
Therefore, the question arises: if digital cryptocurrency is so important for human civilization, why do we not find anything like this in our previous civilizations? Or is it just that such information about this has not been preserved, since it is more of a virtual plane than a material one and it is more difficult for it to be preserved for the next civilizations?

Thank you for your wonderful reply. I understand what you mean, and I will continue to explain my point of view here. Yes, as you said, I continue to praise Bitcoin, because the more I know about Bitcoin, the more I feel its greatness. In our view, Bitcoin is a financial tool that gives us freedom of wealth. However, I think it is not only Bitcoin itself that is not important, but also the thought that Bitcoin represents. These thoughts were born from the creation of Bitcoin. Decentralization, freedom, equality, transparency, fairness, privacy, harmony, etc., are all brought to us by Bitcoin, allowing us to truly achieve freedom. With these thoughts of Bitcoin, we have created a prosperous crypto world on the basis of Bitcoin. The crypto world is transforming the traditional world. In my opinion, the crypto world is creating a new human civilization, which is based on the thought of Bitcoin. So I call it a bit civilization. Real encryption projects are all decentralized and follow the thought of Bitcoin.

You seem to have the inclination to religiously praise Bitcoin for what it is not. I guess we should desist from treating Bitcoin more than what it actually is. With that being said, I don't think Bitcoin is a civilization. If anything, it's simply a product of a civilization which is technologically developing through time. And it is not everything there is to civilization. It is a mere financial tool which is meant to provide ease and convenience and possibly financial independence.

Yes, I agree with you. Bitcoin is an important starting point in the life of mankind. In every era, a new invention appears that changes the course of human civilization. I think that Bitcoin is the invention of this era that will change the course of human civilization. Yes, Satoshi made a very dangerous turn and revolution in all the corrupt systems that It was prevalent in the past times, Bitcoin moved us from centralization, control and tyranny to freedom, transparency and privacy, you get real freedom when you get your financial freedom and this is what Satoshi gave us and made it within the reach of every human being.

That is enough if you only know that bitcoin can change our payment methods. There is more complexity inside bitcoin itself but as a regular user who uses bitcoin for a transaction or a way to make money, you can skip that part and still use bitcoin as you want.

Maybe it can build a new civilization, as @OP says, but I do not know much either. Besides that, we are still new in the bitcoin world and many things need to prepare.

if too much money is printed, the population will automatically hold a lot of money. That way, our purchasing ability is high and the goods we will buy are reduced. The amount of money in circulation will cause inflation. Countries can not print excessive money, if you think every country can print money as they wish then you are wrong. Here the law of supply and demand applies, that's why it is impossible for countries to print money in excess, as well as if countries issue cryptocurrencies, they will also consider their country's financial inflation. Currently, I choose to be realistic and choose to follow the rules of my country's government and international laws, and BTC, for now, I still consider as an asset, because this is what my government has legalized, while Blockchain is an open technology that can be used and developed by any country.
Honestly, I'm still curious and waiting for a surprise when BTC runs out to be mined. And just like FIAT, it looks like BTC is also starting to be controlled only by the rich. But I believe that crypto and blockchain will continue to evolve.

Maybe my height is not enough. I don't understand Bit Civilization.
What I know is that Bitcoin has changed our payment methods, giving us freedom of thought and freedom of payment.
I haven't seen anything else you said yet.

Yes, Bitcoin alone cannot change government or personal corruption. For many people, Bitcoin is at best a currency. However, in my opinion, what is more important is the kind of thinking behind Bitcoin. Decentralization, equality, freedom, transparency, and fairness are all the enlightenment that Bitcoin brings to mankind. These ideas will inspire more people to awaken. When more and more ordinary people awaken, they will continue to spread the Bitcoin consensus. This will force the government to start using blockchain for governance, making governance more fair and transparent. This process may be very long, but I believe it will come.

Bitcoin is the latest technology that is still being tested in life to make it easier for users to transact privately, transparently and openly. But Bitcoin cannot change corruption on a personal level or on a government scale, it cannot change human nature and anything else. Maybe in the future the Blockchain system will be adapted because of its security and make it more of a digital asset for investment that is used by many people.

The only thing that resembles Bitcoin in all these digital fiat versions is the ledger. But everything else is completely different though. Basically, the same thing with alts and most crypto. Only inspired by Bitcoin, but only from the technology. Everything else, namely control, permission are retained. Even immutability and supply caps are all gone from these blockchains:)

Agree. Right now, the best security for our wallets is a hard wallet or something tangible, such as writing your passwords on a piece of paper or anything that you can see and not just stored on your computer or in the cloud, because we never know what will happen. Just have an extra layer of security, like what I've read in this forum, where he writes it down and places it in a box with a lock, as well as hiding it. Losing your private key is the same as losing your money, which you can't get back. You'll simply move on.

Bitcoin was not in vogue at the beginning of human civilization they could not manage their wealth properly. Civilization has started to improve since the inception of bitcoin the introduction of bitcoin has taken people from a state of prosperity to a state of prosperity although the price of bitcoin was low in the beginning nowadays with the increase in price, all the people are managing their wealth by investing and bitcoin has become the source of income.

I think, Human civilization is about being fair about how they use their currency, manage their assets, and perceive the risks from the banks.  Human civilizations need not be judged on their merits.  People have realized many truths and reformed their thinking since the birth of bitcoin.  In the midst of a world where the coercion of sovereignty is increasingly evident, bitcoin is the link that closely ties regulations from that pressure.

We must consider that nothing that currently exists governments, banks was conceived with evil, but it was undoubtedly transformed by man's natural need to have control, power and profits, this entire system is currently so complex that in its current configuration by very good idealistic architecture that you have with Bitcoin, it is not so easy to produce a economic change if individuals do not get involved beyond seeing only bitcoin as an asset.

Yes, currently many countries are trying hard to create a Bitcoin version of FIAT by utilizing the same technology, blockchain. The fiat digital currency issued by the government is essentially different from Bitcoin. The fiat cryptocurrency uses only blockchain technology, which is a substitute for paper money, and does not adopt the real Bitcoin idea. Let's take the issuance of Bitcoin as an example, the total amount is 21 million. I believe that no government will limit the total issuance of its fiat digital currency. They will only continue to overprint currency. This is no different from the original banknotes.

in a financial context it is true and I agree that until now nothing has been able to hinder the development of Bitcoin, but over time most countries will not be able to allow bitcoin to become the main currency in every country where the country will not be able to fully control and monitor the circulation bitcoins. For this reason, currently many countries are trying hard to create a Bitcoin version of FIAT by utilizing the same technology, blockchain. By having their own cryptocurrency, the country is able to regulate and control it in the hope that people will not depend on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Yes, the reality is that humanity is composed by a bunch of sheep which blindy follow the rulers' orders. But in my opinion, the greatest value Bitcoin brings to mankind is to liberate humanity’s mind and no longer be influenced by inherent concepts Bondage. Before the birth of Bitcoin, most people could only obey the decision of the ruler and did not know how to resist. But when Bitcoin is born, more and more group ideologies will be awakened. They will pursue true equality and freedom. This is what I have always said about Bitcoin thinking and Bitcoin consensus. As the Bitcoin consensus continues to expand around the world, voices pursuing freedom, transparency, and equality will far outweigh conservative voices.

Due to different regulations bitcoin probably won't remain like that. People who rule the world don't want to change their minds, instead they want to change bitcoin in a way it can fit the system without damaging their own power and influence. Bitcoin could lead human civilization to a higher level if people were awake and willing for that. However, the reality is that humanity is composed by a bunch of sheep which blindy follow the rulers' orders. The few who really want freedom, transparency, fair opportunities are suffocated by the sheep's bleat just like it happened in Orwell's Animal Farm masterpiece.

There is no question that Bitcoin and its underlying technology is now making good progress and though it is not yet so clear for now the many contributions that it can share with the next generation as we are still dealing with the weakness of human nature, I would say that within the span of a little more than 10 years, it has been hailed as a great invention that is worth mentioning and recognizing. Many opposing voices in the past years are now converts to Bitcoin so there must be something with it that is really worth more than gold. Now, I am always excited to hear news of Bitcoin adoption from countries under economic distress and political oppression but what I am waiting for will be the leaked news that in China people are still into Bitcoin even if the government is exerting almost complete control on the people and what they are doing...do you think that can be coming?

Thank you for your wonderful questions. What I want to express here is that Bitcoin not only represents itself, but more importantly, the ideas behind Bitcoin, decentralization, transparency, equality, freedom, openness, and so on. When more and more people accept this kind of thinking, it will guide us to transform this society and create a whole new human civilization step by step.

It cannot stop corruption but it can be more transparent in showing that there is corruption. If the Blockchain was implemented into other areas except for currencies then it could be used for tamper proofing and making corruption easily to spot. Right now most government owned sectors are not operating transparently and news only comes out about abuse when they want it too.

For the first time mankind used technology to ensure the inviolability of private property

In the Bitcoin world, the private key is the full authority to control the asset, and only those who have the private key can spend the Bitcoin in this account. In this world, there is no customer service. If you accidentally lose your private key, no one can use these bitcoin assets, which is equivalent to disappearing forever. There is no function like "provide ID card and retrieve password".

It seems like you are confusing two separate concepts; Bitcoin and the Blockchain. Bitcoin runs on the block chain technology, but so does so many other currencies and protocols.
Bitcoin as a currency cannot provide transparency in governance or stop corruption, it's just a decentralized currency which is immutable, borderless and irreversible. It allows one the freedom to separate their finances from the government but cannot directly change government affairs.

From a technical point of view, Bitcoin's blockchain technology will benefit the Internet industry and other industries that require a lot of calculation and revenue. Blockchain technology may also become one of the basic technologies of artificial intelligence in the future.

From the perspective of world finance, the liberal currency characteristics of Bitcoin will help the reconstruction of the future monetary system and have a huge impact on the international monetary system.

However, Bitcoin did not solve the corruption problem. It's just that technologies such as blockchain smart contracts provide a means to reduce supervision.

We learn Bitcoin on bitcointalk every day, we are actually making progress through communication and slowly establishing our own knowledge system. Due to difference in knowledge, cognition, background, experience, education, industry participation, etc., each of us feels Bitcoin in a divergent manner.

• Some of us regard Bitcoin as a technology and blockchain emerged based on Bitcoin;
• some deem it as a currency for payment in economic life;
• some treat it as an asset for storage to lift the amount of wealth;
• some think it a speculation to make money in a fast way.

But in my opinion, Bitcoin is a new civilization, leading mankind to evolve from a low-level civilization to a high-level one, that is what I called "Bit Civilization", the focus of most of my recent articles.


Today I will talk about in detail the relationship between Bitcoin and human civilization, especially some basic knowledge with respect to human civilization.


As I see it, we should learn Bitcoin from the perspective of the entire human civilization, and perceive it with a relatively objective attitude. Only in this way can we truly understand what Bitcoin is and what value it brings to us.


The entire human civilization means not just the current one, but also in the past and future. We need to equate Bitcoin with the evolution of the entire human civilization to see the greatness of Satoshi’s invention.


At present, no single individual, organization or sovereign nation can hinder Bitcoin's explosive development. It has become a trend that is irresistible. Comparing the entire human society as a whole and the evolution of it to a slowly flowing river, the emergence of Bitcoin is an important node in the long history of human civilization.


When Bitcoin was born, human civilization began to accelerate evolution, from centralization to decentralization, from the governance of human nature to the governance of protocols, from corrupt governance to transparent governance. Bitcoin is ushering us to a fairer, freer, and opener society, and the value of each of our human beings will be treasured and liberated.


Do you agree with me?
