Satoshi Nakamoto's invention is factually a currency not for humans, but for machines. Perhaps that is the reality of Bitcoin.


Satoshi never said anything about AI. He invented Bitcoin to be used by humans, not some hypothetical and currently non-existent robots.

Providing we talk about Silicon-based life 10 years ago, people might deem it rather distant. But, now looking at the achievement of AI, We will find it closer for AI to have life and produce wisdom. This is a video of the Boston Dynamics BigDog. Fairly flexible!

And AlphaGo is gaining top wisdom a well. At the 2017 Future of Go Summit, the Master version of AlphaGo beat Ke Jie, the number one ranked player in the world at the time, in a three-game match, after which AlphaGo was awarded professional 9-dan by the Chinese GO Association

These examples have very little to do with general artificial intelligence. The AI that people talk about today is just a mathematical tool for solving specific problems. The current science doesn't even fully understand intelligence, yet alone trying to replicate it artificially.

The world we often see in sci-fi movies will truly come to reality. Bitcoin is the cornerstone of human civilization’s entering a new digital civilization, and all this stems from the moment when the great Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin in 2009. In a century, when Silicon-based life forms with intelligent robots as the main body have been fully integrated into the production and distribution of human society, they will look up to Satoshi Nakamoto as the father of robots because he gave Silicon-based life forms the right to participate in social production and distribution through the creation of Bitcoin. That is the greatest significance that Bitcoin brings to human civilization, representing humans' stepping into a brand Bit Civilization.


The digital civilization has been around for decades and it's absurd to say that Bitcoin is the cornerstone of it, because the actual cornerstone is the Internet and personal computers. Without them Bitcoin wouldn't be possible. And Bitcoin isn't even revolutionary in most senses, people had digital money for decades before Bitcoin was created. Bitcoin's innovation lies in the fact that it is decentralized.
