Why do I have a feeling that you’re just paraphrasing ecological Marxism and the “Heat death of the Universe” concept?

However, I don’t follow you entirely. According to your beliefs:
The more civilized and orderly human society appears, the more chaotic and disorderly nature seems.
And, at the same time:
The total value of entropy in the universe will increase until the energy of the universe is completely exhausted, the universe falls into extinction.
And since entropy is the measure of chaos, consequently, this means that orderly human society will increase entropy and, eventually, lead to extinction of the universe.

And finally, in the end, you state:
When Bitcoin was born, a new technical consensus based on mathematics and algorithms came into being, providing a new direction for human civilization with an optimized governance model. It renders human civilization more orderly...

So a logical derivative from all these statements is that Bitcoin facilitates Universe extinction.

You might want to reduce some entropy in your thoughts and make them more orderly organized (no offense) Cheesy

My 2 cents ... Well noticed, but you forgot to mention why RainbowKun is contradicting his own claims ... one of two things occurs to me ... [1] either he is twins by horoscope [2] or he is really tired of the trivial conversations of this section. Although, perhaps I will send a link to this thread, a few peoples who are constantly complaining about the lack of interesting reading and discussions.

Thanks for the questions raised by both of you, here I will explain my point of view again. In physics, entropy is a very mature concept, which is the second law of thermodynamics. Our entire universe is currently in a state of increasing entropy, unceasingly disorderly, and eventually dying. Life in the universe relies on the input of cosmic energy to fight against entropy increase, which is a process of entropy reduction. For example, we eat food every day to deliver energy to our body and maintain our body's entropy reduction. Bitcoin is also an entropy reduction system, which supplies energy to the Bitcoin network through mining and maintains the order of the entire Bitcoin system. At the same time, the essence of consensus is also orderly. When everyone reaches a consensus on one thing, it is to gather disorderly opinions into an orderly consensus.
