Bitcoin is a tragedy for traditional human class society, but a comedy for future personality society

Many industries and fields are now paying attention to Bitcoin and blockchain technology, with many praising and admiring it. It is very lively, a bit like the positive publicity of a small country in Northeast Asia, which is exciting but lacks independent critical thinking. The author believes that the current emphasis on and pursuit of "financial or economic value" of blockchain technology is more one-sided, without grasping its deeper "original social value", which is biased and prone to hasty abuse and misuse. As the saying goes, haste makes waste, and entrepreneurs who intend to use blockchain technology need to be calm and cautious.

Bitcoin did not appear out of thin air. The P2P networking and asymmetric encryption technologies it uses have existed for many years, but they were finally integrated and born because of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis. The background of this era is very critical. The credit of traditional banking finance based on the legal currency system that broke out during the subprime mortgage crisis was abused. The traditional centralized and hierarchical credit system that human society has developed for thousands of years began to be doubted, and faith collapsed. People were "forced" to entrust "credit and consensus" to the blockchain "technology" brought by Bitcoin. How unfortunate!
The outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis and the emergence of Bitcoin profoundly revealed the imperfection of human nature, and the technological element is an existence beyond human beings. (Note: For an in-depth explanation of the technological element, interested friends can read KK's book "What Does Technology Want?"). From this point of view, the emergence and popularity of Bitcoin can be said to be a tragic manifestation of the end of the traditional human class social development model.

Some people think that since Bitcoin was created by Satoshi Nakamoto, it should be controlled and shut down. How can it surpass humans? That being said, in fact, centralized artificial intelligence networks like AlapaGo can be easily shut down, but P2P networks like BT/EMULE and Bitcoin are difficult to shut down. Why? It is the imperfect "profit-seeking" nature of human beings. Because of interests, human beings are not monolithic. As long as there are interests and needs, Bitcoin nodes will be operated and exist, which is "the open Pandora's box" and "the cockroach that cannot be killed". Therefore, the evolution of technical elements can develop rapidly and exponentially without relying on human will (the overall unified will that actually cannot exist) and eventually surpass humans.

Knowing the tragic impact of Bitcoin blockchain technology on traditional human society, we need to learn from the pain, and the key lies in "thinking". The expected tragedy will trigger individuals to "reflect" on their dependence on external centralized authority, thereby discovering the value of individual autonomous existence, and using the capabilities provided by various emerging information technologies such as blockchain technology to strive for the right to choose "information". The autonomous liberation of personality will effectively balance the traditional centralized regulatory power and promote the social trend towards "personality socialism", which is based on respecting individual personality and the right to choose freely and autonomously, and pursues the power of collective wisdom. From this point of view, Bitcoin blockchain technology has awakened mankind to the profound reflection it has brought, inspired new hope, and led us back to the right path. We are so lucky to take appropriate actions to strive for an optimistic future where humans and technology coexist in a balanced way! (Note: For the explanation of "personality socialism", friends who are interested can read the relevant works of Russian scholar Berdyaev)
