Bitcoin certainly is a remarkable invention, but in the grand scheme of things it's not very influential for now. With adoption being so low, Bitcoin can't really be viewed as a new paradigm for humanity, it's just a niche tool, a tiny alternative system. I don't see Bitcoin shaping humanity's future until at least 20% of the population is actively using, maybe even more. And that's a very big condition, because right now the adoption level is around a few million people globally. That's a pretty low result for something that exists more than 10 years.

In my opinion, the current impact of Bitcoin is already very large. Two years ago, most countries also regarded Bitcoin as a scam. But today, some countries have adopted Bitcoin as legal tender. This is a huge victory. In addition, all current achievements are achieved without the operation of a centralized organization, and are entirely promoted by a decentralized community. This is another great victory. Bitcoin will develop in the form of acceleration, which will be accepted by more and more people.

I'm exceptionally excited about the math governance you mentioned but I wonder how long people have to wait before it comes to the world. Now not so many people are trading Bitcoin, some people just heard of it and some even have no idea about it! I think that a great barrier ahead. Worse still, for a big part of people who know Bitcoin, they just treat it as a tool of earning money, they don't learn about blockchain and they are blind to the significance of Bitcoin. I'm afraid the Bit civilization is nothing but a mirage for the time being unless some prominent progress can be made in this aspect. Yes, humans can not eliminate the Bitcoin network fundamentally, but they can totally refuse to adopt it.
In addition, I'm curious about how could math govern the globe with impartiality. I mean, codes are created by humans after all, right? Humans are interest-driven. So how could that happen? Except that someone invents a disinterested code and then things work under the rule of this code, then I guess math governance might be possible and fair. further elaboration is needed here because I'm sorry I didn't read other posts of yours yet and if you have explained the principle of math governance, I hope you can do me a favor and put a link for me to read Cheesy

thx I don't know what human civilization would be in a century but I do hearfeltly expect a more equal one to protect me from exploitation
All in all, your notion is pretty inspiring to me. I appreciate that you shared it with us.

Thank you for your wonderful response, what I want to say is that any great change is not achieved overnight, but takes time to accumulate, and Bitcoin is the same. We can now see the evolutionary direction of human society in the future, which is to move towards mathematical governance through blockchain. This is my prediction for the future.

civilisation, society, community
there has been a bitcoin community buzzworded about for years now
governance
bitcoin is governed not by code. but humans willing to run the code.
yes the code is the lawbook. but the lawbook only works by the will of people using it.
and the lawbook does change due to humans.
bitcoin is not a self growing AI. its just code rules wrote and edited by developers.
even in the last 4 years there have been 2 major defining changes. one of which is implementing in november
humans ultimately govern it.
yes the chances of all humans in the community turning off their node and miner at the same time/relative short period with a deadline.. is now super low that its not even a consideration. but its still based on the human will of some to continue even when others may give up

Yes, the main body of governance is people, who update and maintain the code. However, when the code starts to run well, people must operate according to the rules of the code, and cannot change the logic of the code without authorization. This is the "mathematical governance" I proposed. Only this kind of governance will be more transparent, fair and correct, and it will be easier for people to generate trust. We are not trusting an individual, we believe in mathematical algorithms. What we believe in is code logic. This is the governance model of the advanced human civilization society in the future.
