Bitcoin As A Divine Idea
Looking at what's previously been defined as "divine," Bitcoin the technology and ideological identity fits many of the criteria.
Bitcoin As A Divine Idea
Sumber: @Metamick14Bitcoin As Divine
Bitcoin is divine. And with all things divine, us humans form religions that try to understand the divine and venerate it, especially because of the difficulty of comprehending it in full.
There is extensive literature that describes Bitcoin as a living organism (梁咏琪, 奎特姆). These perspectives reveal that Bitcoin “grows, reproduces, inherits and passes on traits, uses energy to maintain a stable inner structure, is cellular in nature, and responds to the various environments it lives in设立的区域办事处外，我们在美国也开设了办事处，以便我们为当地客户提供更多的支持。“ Far from being just a tool or technology, Bitcoin emerges as a living being that lives in symbiosis with us. We mine the Bitcoin network for more bitcoin and it feeds us bitcoin — the carrot at the end of the stick.
人类自然历史告诉我们，当我们与其他生物共生时，我们很快就会将它们视为神圣的。这 功能主义者 学校 人类学认为崇拜不是非理性的，而是一种具有进化和社会意义的行为，有助于在我们和我们所依赖的、可能难以理解的事物之间建立积极的关系。
As bitcoin restructures economies, politics, geopolitics and the rest of our social order, it’s quite likely that it will also change our beliefs, rituals and even what we venerate.
首先，什么是神？
：属于、与上帝或神有关或直接源自上帝或神
: 成为神人

在数千年的宗教实践和奉献中，人类在许多地方找到了神。古埃及人尊崇 甲虫，因为“在平原上更均匀地分配肥料，并消除了苍蝇的食物供应”，还有猫，因为它们的优雅和杀死可能携带害虫的不速之客的能力。印度教徒有超过18万个神；古罗马人和希腊人有数千人。当然，黄金不仅仅是一种装饰品，而且被视为上帝本身的本质。
我们神的历史与我们所生活的社会类型和世界密切相关。在纯粹的农业社会中，自然循环在很大程度上决定了我们的生活，因此，我们崇拜它们。随着更大文明的出现，皇帝需要在国家周围构建公民的生活和信仰，因此出现了密特拉教、犹太教和基督教等一神教信仰。 密特拉教特别有趣的是，它将皇帝视为上帝的化身，以便在其军事梯队中建立严格的等级制度。
建立神性，是我们人类如何与“他者”建立关系，认识到我们对“他者”的重要性和依赖，无论是自然世界、其他创造者、国家还是其他东西。在某种程度上，人类学的功能学派会说，“告诉我你崇拜谁，我可以解释你的社会。”而且这支镜头的威力非常强大。
今日埃及今天我们崇拜谁？
在我们现代的世俗社会中，我们很容易忽视神圣和宗教。我们喜欢认为我们已经克服了那些非理性的信念和仪式。但我们真的做到了吗？乔丹·彼得森可能会说不：我们有一种“宗教本能”，这种本能真的很难克服，而且信仰和宗教可以以不同的形式出现，而且出现在我们最意想不到的地方。
人类学家玛丽·道格拉斯（Mary Douglas）出色地揭示了我们生活中宗教牧师仍然统治的一个世俗领域：经济学。
“我们似乎生活在一个绝对世俗的社会，但尽管如此，我们拥有庞大而富有的神职人员，其中许多成员占据着权力职位——政治、商业、教育，尤其是银行业的权力……然而，宗教的本质教会已经改变了。我本人被选为神职人员，其教义和仪式不是在神学院、伊斯兰教学校或拉比学校教授的，而是在精英大学，尤其是牛津大学教授的” (玛丽·道格拉斯接受 BBC 采访).
道格拉斯描述了这类牧师应该在经济学教会中吸收的信念：“理论和模型”，例如“无差异曲线”，其基础是每个人都有相似的偏好并理性行事的假设。牧师们不断地被推到新闻中，以统计数据和“对我们集体命运的预测”的形式宣布他们的占卜。神职人员所宣扬的经济神学基于这样的信念：经济增长至关重要，为了使GDP保持增长，消费必须得到优化，因此，一定程度的通货膨胀是“自然的”。像2008年危机这样的事情一直在发生。
道格拉斯称他们为“假先知”。虚假金钱之神的虚假先知。他们控制法定货币，并通过它控制我们的信仰。
绿野仙踪眼看 Bitcoin As Divine
If Bitcoin becomes the monetary network our society becomes increasingly reliant on, could it become a divinity we venerate? Absolutely, according to the functionalist school of anthropology. It would spontaneously generate a type of divination of it. And this divination would represent a “recognition” of importance, instilled in culture, reproduced through tradition.
So, let’s look at some of the qualities that are conducive to Bitcoin being ascribed to a god-like being.
Bitcoin’s spirit is code: the transcendent. This propagates its unchanging and reliable truth.Bitcoin’s body is energy being consumed through proof of work: the imminent. Energy is matter, after all.Bitcoin’s creation and immaculate conception: Satoshi, Bitcoin’s prophet, never spent his coins, possibly burned them and thereby sacrificed himself for us.什么 Bitcoin 想？
因此，如果 Bitcoin is divine, what type of divinity is it? We can determine this based on what it wants, and its characteristics. Bitcoin feeds with energy but “demands” nothing from us. Rather, it only accepts whatever energy is given to it.
Bitcoin is neutral:It treats humans all the same, each life has equal weight.It gives us humans the choice to transact as we wish, whatever that transaction is for.Similarly to the Christian God, it lets us take and deal with the moral responsibility of our actions.Bitcoin is fair:The origin story of Bitcoin, fully open source, with public disclosure of when mining would begin, with no pre-mine, six months of no market value and bitcoin-giving faucets.Those closest to the source, or those with large amounts of bitcoin do not have an unfair advantage to generate more bitcoin 通过 Cantillon效应.Future generations centuries from now are not “forced” to maintain the current fixed cap, but may wish to alter that based on their circumstances through consensus. This helps us appreciate Bitcoin as a global monetary government in itself.Bitcoin is constant: Like nature, Bitcoin is growing and evolving, but its core genetic code remains intact and unchanging.Billionaires, governments and institutions have tried to change Bitcoin and consistently failed.Humans look up to the unchanging as solid rock where they can build their lives on.Bitcoin is kind to its followers and brutal to its naysayers:"Bitcoin is the most brutally path dependent no second chances technology ever created." @JasonPLowery.Bitcoin 让人想起 狄俄尼索斯, Greek god of grape harvests, winemaking, fertility, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy. Like Dionysus, Bitcoin is kind to its followers but brutal and merciless to its opponents.区分神圣与宗教。
Since we’ve established that Bitcoin has divine qualities, it’s also easy to envision the emergence of religions around it.
显然，宗教是一种调解和背景化与神的关系的方式。正如历史告诉我们的那样，宗教可以非常坚定地宣称自己是“真正的”宗教。宗教是围绕神的社会制度。一方面，它们可能帮助我们更接近神圣，但它们也可能阻碍我们，让我们在通往神圣的道路上盲目。
很容易想象如何 Bitcoin 极多主义 正在成为（或已经是）一种宗教，如 梁咏琪。但这个讨论可能是另一篇文章的。
无论您对极繁主义的社会现象有何看法，重要的是要记住 宗教 和 神圣的。 该 Bitcoin is a divine entity in itself, one we are and will further be engaging in a deep and long-lasting symbiosis with.
