I am unsure if this conversation has taken place here before and what diverse opinions the community holds. Nevertheless, I wish to express that I do not believe in the concept of a bitcoin monastery. While it may seem interesting, it is not something that is not practical. In a YouTube interview I recently watched, the interviewee discussed 'Bitcoin monasteries' as a metaphor for merging technology with spiritual leadership, proposing a vision of utilizing technology constructively under spiritual guidance. Although I am not an atheist, I strongly believe that bitcoin remains neutral in terms of spirituality, gods, and metaphysical forces. Therefore, we should employ bitcoin according to our personal moral principles and not bring in any sort of spiritual perspective to it. What is you take on bitcoin monastery?
Hey man,
It is funny I came across your post cause I was wondering somes ideas about a related topic in the last few days. I've contemplate a few time the idea of Satoshi Nakamato being some type of being either from the future, or elsewhere. A being who chose to create a protocol and gave us access to it, to save us from ourselves and to liberate us. Maybe in a distant future, without his intervention, the opression of the state would have grown immensely to the point where human civilisation is not heading toward its natural evolution path.
Maybe over the years, oppression, control, corruption and violence would have destroy any possibility for a productive evolution towards the greater good.
Maybe Satoshi chose to alter the future by unlocking a way for us.
This is far fetched, but still an interesting idea.
