Naha Hikmah Of Bitcoin Datang Ti Hiji Peradaban Kuna?
Bitcoin doesn't try to change our nature. It works with nature; it's part of nature. It is the combination of ancient wisdom and scientific knowledge.
Ieu mangrupikeun redaksi opini ku Leon Wankum, salah sahiji mahasiswa ékonomi kauangan munggaran anu nyerat skripsi Bitcoin di 2015.
Nalika kuring ngaliwat ruruntuhan Machu Picchu, benteng Incan anu diwangun dina jangkung Pagunungan Andes di Peru sareng bobogohan deui ka sababaraha waktos sakitar 1450, kuring ningali sésa-sésa gedong sareng struktur anu didamel ku peradaban anu lami. Nepi ka poé ieu, urang teu bisa ngajelaskeun kumaha Inca diwangun atawa naon pamakéan pasti na. Sejarawan terang yén Inca ngagunakeun Machu Picchu salaku situs suci pikeun tempatna sakitar 700 imam luhur. Tempat anu pinuh ku misteri magis, Machu Picchu dipikanyaho ku tembok ashlar anu rumit anu ngahijikeun batu-batu ageung tanpa mortir sareng pikeun gedong-gedong anu kalebet alignment astronomi.
Machu Picchu is part of a series of humanity's greatest achievements, which we do not fully understand how they were built, sapertos piramida di Kairo; piramida di Teotihuacán, Méksiko; sarta Coricancha di Cusco, Peru. Kumaha éta Inca bisa mawa lajeng align batu badag nepi ka gunung 2,430-méteran, nu bakal hésé sanajan kalawan parabot paling modern?
Anu kami terang nyaéta yén Inca hirup rukun sareng alam. Aranjeunna ilubiung dina masarakat tatanén anu ngagunakeun kakuatan alam pikeun ngawangun kota jeung situs suci anu masih nangtung kiwari. Filsafat kahirupan di Andes dumasar kana kauntungan tina alam tanpa ngancurkeunana. Numutkeun Juan Carlos Macicado Figueroa dina "Nalika Batu Nyarios, "Sampel cara hirup ieu katingal dina situs arkéologis anu béda, ti mimiti budaya dugi ka pajeulitna masarakat Incan. Sacara umum, sarjana anu obsessed ku pamanggih resolving sual kumaha inca junun ngawangun wangunan maranéhanana sarta geus poho ngartos naha jeung naon pamikiran aya di balik konstruksi ieu.
Urang kudu nanya ka diri urang sorangan, "Naon nu bisa urang diajar tina budaya kuno ieu?" Téknologi kedah dianggo saluyu sareng alam sareng urang ogé.
Just as the Inca worked in harmony with nature to create magnificent forts and sacred sites, Bitcoin exists in harmony with nature to create sound money from energy. Sound money is money that is not subject to sudden increases or decreases in value, assisted by self-correcting mechanisms inherent in a free market system.
Sabalikna mun kapercayaan popular, duit teu produk nagara; éta produk alam lingkungan urang. Dina tingkat metafisik, duit téh énergi. Urang ngagunakeun waktu jeung tanaga urang pikeun nyieun duit. Jadi, duit téh nyimpen énergi urang, nyimpen nilai. Énergi seueur sareng kedah diaksés ku sadayana. Naon waé sistem terpusat - sapertos bank sentral anu nyobian ngamanipulasi artos - nyiptakeun teu saimbangna anu henteu alami.
Traditional centralized banking systems like the Federal Reserve are subject to boards and government institutions controlling the supply and distribution of money. In contrast, bitcoin is entirely produced collectively by the network, at a rate which was defined when the system was created and known to the public, to paraphrase Andreas Antonopoulos in “mastering Bitcoin. "
Bitcoin is an open monetary system, accessible to everyone.
For the Inca, gold was not valuable because of its purchasing power but because of its energy. It was representative of the sun, the life force of the Earth. Like the sun — which serves as the energy source for all life on Earth — Bitcoin serves as an inclusive financial system in which everyone can participate. Bitcoin is the first successful attempt to create digital property that can be sent securely to someone else without the risk of third-party obstruction. Again referencing Antonopoulos, as of today, no one has been able to disturb the mining process or figure out a way to mine bitcoin without using the required Bitcoin software with its internal security and self-reliant value system. It is money backed by mathematical proof.
Despite what the mainstream media tells us, bitcoin using energy for its production process is not bad for the environment; it is a natural process. The fact that mining uses energy makes bitcoin money because money is energy. The law of conservation of energy, also known as the first law of thermodynamics, states that the energy of a closed system must remain constant: It can neither increase nor decrease without external influence. The universe itself is a closed system, so the total amount of energy in existence has always been the same. However, the forms that energy takes are terus ngarobah. Énergi teu pernah wasted; éta dipaké. Kawas budak dahar kadaharan pikeun tumuwuh, manusa ngagunakeun tanaga pikeun maju. Panambang use electrons and produce bitcoin. Aranjeunna sacara harfiah nyiptakeun emas digital tina énergi.

(sumber)Kanyataanna, Bitcoin will enable humanity to use energy more efficiently, make progress, create wealth and foster a healthier relationship with our environment. There are estimates that up to 30% énergi anu dihasilkeun dibuang through losses in generation, transmission and distribution. Bitcoin miners are trying to capture this energy, because they need to find cheap energy in order to lower their cost structure. For example, companies like Great American Mining ngagunakeun kaleuwihan gas released from oil production to mine bitcoin.
Oil drilling releases gas. Since the drilling takes place far from residential areas, the gas released has no other use than on-site. It is very difficult to store the gas and bring it to residential areas, so most of it gets burned. The burning of gas is called flaring. A gas combustion engine can be used in industrial facilities, such as petroleum refineries or chemical plants. Bitcoin mining is not dependent on residential areas; it can take place anywhere. Great American Mining takes advantage of this by capturing the released gas, which would otherwise be burned and polluted, to mine bitcoin. Showing how mining can solve the so-called energy crisis.
(sumber)Sajaba ti, a diajar diterbitkeun ku Bitcoin Mining Council estimates that 58.5% of the global mining sector is powered by renewable energy, as renewable energy is among the cheapest energy sources. This makes their use very attractive for miners, who in turn help to make the use of renewable energy more efficient.
Téknologi mimiti diadopsi ku jalma anu paling butuh. Él Salvador jadi nagara munggaran pikeun ngukut anak bitcoin salaku tender légal on September 7, 2021. The Républik Aprika Tengah dituturkeun dina 2022. Kadua nagara aya di buana anu geus dijarah pikeun sumber daya alam maranéhanana. Tempat perang-torn bray dina siklus setan trauma, perang jeung sangsara.
The financial institutions created by the international community under U.S. leadership to provide aid to developing countries — such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank — have failed. They have enslaved the developing world by putting them in debt, instead of giving them the opportunity to develop further. Creating debt obligations is a soft form of imperialism. It doesn't help; it ngajadikeun sagalana goréng.
Those benefiting from the current financial system are trying to fight Bitcoin. The establishment being resistant to change is a recurring phenomenon throughout history. In 1633, the Catholic Church dipenjara Galileo Galilei for fear of losing power for his correct argument that the planets revolve around the sun and that the sun is the center of the universe, not the Earth. The Catholic Church believed that the Bible said that all other planets revolve around the Earth and to defy this belief was considered an act of heresy. Back then, a person could be prosecuted (and even executed) for disobeying religious teachings. Similarly today, governments and central banks are trying to fight Bitcoin because it threatens their position of power. It is not in these institutions’ interest that an open monetary network exists outside of their control, so they demonize it and claim it's bad for the environment, although the opposite is true.
Kusabab Présidén Richard Nixon ngumumkeun yén Amérika Serikat bakal mungkas konversi dolar AS kana emas dina 15 Agustus 1971, bank sentral mimiti ngajalankeun sistem dumasar-duit fiat kalayan nilai tukar ngambang sareng teu aya standar mata uang. Istilah "duit fiat" asalna tina basa Latin sarta hartina "hayu eta dipigawé". Fiat mangrupikeun jinis artos anu henteu dirojong ku komoditas, sapertos emas, sareng nampi nilaina sapinuhna tina kaputusan pamaréntah. Éta mangrupikeun sistem dumasar hutang dimana bank sentral nyiptakeun sareng nginjeumkeun artos fiat, ngan ukur pikeun janji panampi pikeun mayar deui.
Any central bank in the developing world that adopts bitcoin has a chance to compete with the world’s most powerful central banks by acquiring bitcoin, a debt-free asset. This challenges the global power dynamic. As a decentralized, open monetary network, Bitcoin ngamungkinkeun dulur anu ngagunakeun éta pikeun jadi mandiri.
Mass adoption of bitcoin will take time. It could take centuries, but it will happen.
Salaku Robert Breedlove nunjuk kaluar, Bitcoin is software, software is code and code is information. Information wants to spread. The Bible has survived many empires, so Bitcoin has the potential to outlive any individuals, parties and groups that try to fight it. As long as there is one computer running the Bitcoin protokol, Bitcoin won’t die. We have effectively created this new life form that will outlast urang sadayana (jeung meureun manusa).
Bitcoin is harepan because it allows everyone in the world to store value, regardless of gender, race, location or age, and it allows people to save for the future. This results in positive second-order effects. The inflationary fiat system that we live in today incentivizes short-term thinking. Money that we earn today will lose value in the future, so we spend it on things we don’t need. We are incentivized to consume constantly, to waste the world's resources and to make bad decisions because we don't care about the future. Bitcoin is different. It's disinflationary. It encourages long-term thinking. As Bitcoiners, we are more aware of the value of our money because it increases in value. Why should I spend my bitcoin on a car today when I can use it to buy a house in the future?
Jalma-jalma ngalaksanakeun langkung seueur tanggung jawab sareng aranjeunna tiasa ningali masa depan anu langkung saé dina cakrawala sabab aya a rasa kabebasan gede due to the qualities of Bitcoin and what it allows. Once you adopt bitcoin, you pursue work that you find meaningful. You establish more meaningful relationships and live a more meaningful life. These second-order effects apply to the individual and humanity as a whole because Bitcoin is an open network that anyone can use.
Can we even imagine a united humanity? Probably not, but Bitcoin makes us dream. Imagine if we could build on each other instead of taking from one another. If one eats, we all eat. When you work, when you make an effort, we all benefit. This is the power of an open network, controlled by no one but open to all. With Bitcoin there is no “us and them,” there is an “I” from which a universal “we” emerges.
Many cryptocurrency companies are trying to capitalize on the human need for harmony with false promises, but these efforts are only made to enrich certain individuals. Bitcoin nyaéta di dieu pikeun enrich kamanusaan. It's about the intention. Alone we can go fast, but together we can go far.
Bitcoin doesn't try to change our nature. It works with nature; it's part of nature. It is the combination of ancient wisdom and scientific knowledge. A bridge between old and new — the future.
