Who will take the initiative to become the voice and take on the role of being the chosen representative of BTC?
The role of a chosen Messiah or Savior to help steer the road to a Crypto Future

Bitcoin don't need a representative, it is a decentralized currency not controlled by anyone, and that's one of its best features.

Bitcoin's community is in fact its real representative.

Bitcoin was designed in a way that there would be no centralized entity representing it. There will never be any single individual at a time representing it. The whole Bitcoin community represents it.
It's a widely accepted theory that Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared for that sole reason, so as not to be seen as a Bitcoin leadership figure.

The People.

The people who use Bitcoin are the voice and representation of Bitcoin. One of the fundamental principles of Bitcoin is decentralization of control. This literally means that no one person or entity owns, controls, represents, or directs Bitcoin's future. If that's what you're looking for you can engage yourself in the main fiat currencies, each of which is controlled by a single central bank.

Yes, that's true. People is the voice and presentation of bitcoin because people are the user of it. It will not become popular without the people. The worker also of the bitcoin is the people, they are responsible to generate a bitcoin to make an income. The future of bitcoin is depends also to the people, if they don't want to use a bitcoin, it will fall. The volume also is depends on the people who have a bitcoin.

I think theymos is the most suitable person in this case, but nobody knows who theymos it, I takin all will run well if theymos do it

Internet doesn't have a representative, neither should Bitcoin. It is just a decentralized protocol, even more so then the Internet. Even if Satoshi was still around, I doubt he would be a representative for very long.

Very well said. I would say the same thing too on which Bitcoin doesnt really need any speaker or representative because the community itself would already be the voice on bitcoins existence and it is not controlled by anybody even the government itself cant make such a thing this is why people loves bitcoin and for sure adoption will really be there on upcoming years to come.

I will represent it like there will be no other currency that could match Bitcoin on its uniqueness. No one can comtrol it but us. We will expercience a free fraud financial life with it. And somehow in the future, all fiats will disapear and Bitcoin will be our next Global currency.

This is all true, but doesn't  the right representatives bring either the price higher or lower depending on the representation that is being presented depending ona time or place or event, we look for someone

Bitcoin is decentralized system so there can never be any official representative, however there can be many other unofficial representatives - Bitcoin enthusiasts, notable members of community, developers, owners of Bitcoin businesses. For example, recently Jamie Dimon faced market abuse claim filed by blockchain firm called Blockswater - this is a good example of Bitcoin being represented by private parties. I believe it is quite important that influential Bitcoin community members and organization take the responsibility of representing Bitcoin in talks with governments and companies, with media or even in court.

We are all representing it in a way by using it. Every person that mines, trades, uses it or talks about it on the forum represents it.
Some people are representing it in the media and educating others about it, I think it's more than enough.


What are you talking about? His real name is publically known.

Price going higher or lower is irrelevant for this system.
When price is correlated to representatives, the system is actually in a state of failure.
When Satoshi left the community, one reason was to prevent such correlation.

For a cryptocurrency to be a legitimate system/device, there shall not be a human
representative (for many different important reasons). The Consensus system (combined
with all the Consensus layers on top of the mining layer) is our representative entity.

Through true Community Consensus, indefinite survival is essentially guaranteed.

Bitcoin does not need a representative as we the people are its real representatives. Satoshi started it and will be known for that fact. He saw a problem with the way current currency was delivered and gave us all something better.

How about you?  Or me?  How about everyone on bitcointalk forum?

It is written in the Bitcoin white paper that all bitcoin users have a voice in bitcoin.  Not only one person.  Maybe this is why Nakamoto left the project.  Everyone of the millions of users has an equal voice.  If you say something worth hearing others will agree and support you.

Don't you think that at this point everyone is actually controlling bitcoin ? Litterally any government taking action, any media or any personality  that looks deeply into bitcoin can affect it and its value like whats happening right now in China, Russia and South Korea.

Craig S. Wright :)

this is really all thanks to satoshi, he has opened digital payments using bitcoin, because this is very practical. we can start sending money in a fast way and low transaction fee. and some of the campaigns available here make it easy for us to earn bitcoin income
this is very positive impact in life

That's exceedingly dramatic lmao. Why would you think Bitcoin needs a representative? It's anonymous and decentralized. Having a tangible face would kind of ruin its mystique. That being said, if anyone is fit for this role, it's Satoshi. And he's not around anymore as far as we know, so yeah.

If we don't need a representative, we sure as hell don't need a messiah. We're doing fine. Crypto is doing fine. I don't see the need for a rallying figure, and neither do I think one can help.

Controlling it isn't the same as affecting it. That is the point. If everyone can affect it, then it is secure. The point is that no single party can control it, but the world will always be able to affect it, that is what a free market is. When you sell or buy Bitcoin you are affecting it's price as well.

Mostly by Core developers who represent bitcoin, but in general every user has the right to do so, as bitcoin is open source and connected to everyone in blockchain network. There's no role for Messiah in bitcoin, unless Satoshi come back in this forum.
But, no one can ensure to help steer the road for crypto future due to Government could do anything to regulate cryptocurrencies, whether to support or ban it.

Not even then. He is an inventor, not an owner. By now, many people evolved Bitcoin, we are grateful to him of course, more then to anyone else, but he is not the only one anymore. The rest of the network deserves a right to represent itself. There is no need for a single person to represent such a vast technology, it would only bring the instability. He is a good and honest man to make a right choice of leaving the community and a God damn saint to never move his hundreds of billions of worth bitcoins just to insure the stability of bitcoin's price and adoption, as if the founder cashed out, people could panic.

What do you mean ? no bitcoin represents, nor the set, that's why bitcoin is anonymous. we represent the bitcoin continuously evolving over time. of course you will understand with some explanations of friends here.

The Bitcoin Foundation is an American nonprofit corporation. It was founded in September 2012.Who will take the initiative to become the voice and take on the role of being the chosen representative of BTC.Bitcoin no need a representative, it is a digital currency not controlled by anyone.

I'm sure there is already a person existing for that, though we never had really seen him, we faithfully believe in his/their works that we invest our time and effort because it gives us hope of salvation to a financially free life and I think what your looking for is satoshi the creator/creators(?) of bitcon. Bitcoin would not  been able to survive up to this day if its not planned and created carefully.

I think bitcoin already has various representatives for its different purposes. Focus on them. Some bitcoin business owners have taken very dramatic strides towards fairness and transparency. you will find this same sort of thing in the mining communities among other smaller factions. Don't forget the developers and when they make announcements. Everyone does there part with different people being in the know at a given time. It really is a beautiful thing considering that truly this is wealth without power in many situations.

no one represents bitcoin because bitcoin is not controlled by individuals, in fact the bitcoin community is controlling bitcoin because they are actually representatives of bitcoin

Why does Bitcoin requires a representative? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of decentralized to a certain extend?? Then again, I wouldn't argue that there's no advantage if we do have a very talented individual at the top of the chain.

We people are the one's who will going to represent it to ourselves and to the world. Bitcoin cannot be control so that no one could ever own it for themselves only. We are the one's eho decides wether we use Bitcoin or not.

Bitcoin would not even need anyone to be it's representative. that's why they call it "Decentralized". It's going to be centralized if it does have a representative. the only thing that makes bitcoin something is it's community.

I would say strength in numbers because the community is the representative to represent bitcoin to the world and we can surely take our part in doing this and yes I agreed that a lot had focus in doing something and what is their best interest that is bitcoin centered, but bitcoin is not centralized and the community is the foundation of bitcoin, we can do what we can to take part in spreading to the world what bitcoin can really do.

You see even though there might be some advantages attached to having a central representative to decide any course of action, bitcoin does not have and does not need one because that is the ways it has been designed to be. Its decentralised and any attempt to make it otherwise will mean negating the original plan.

Today we talking about several issues, forking has happened and another one is upcoming but there is no one to stop it because of the original plan is just that way. If I have enough money and a group of people with the technical expertise, we can equally do our fork too and nobody will stop us.

The representative bitcoin needs is everybody that have come in contact with it so that you can control your life and finances without the influence of anybody.

Because remembering that bitcoin is a decentralized system, of course bitcoin is represented by its users, that is everyone who uses bitcoin. There will be plenty of defense if bitcoin get harassed even must to be closed from bitcoin users / everyone who was close to bitcoin, and the future of bitcoin is in the hands of its users.

We don't need one.

Actually having one makse bitcoin more centralized and that's something that none of us want. I don't mind having advocators for bitcoin at all but to have one person that the entire bitcoin communit blindly follows is just absurd.

It's not like bitcoin needs to have an ambassador or anything like that either.

that is right bitcoin do not need for any representative, it is a digital currency and is not in control of any person or group. it think such attempt really cannot stop the progress of bitcoin and will never turn bitcoin as centralized currency, bitcoin is too much smart in its original format and hope that it will continue in is original form for ever.

Haven't you heard? Bitcoin has thousands of decentralised representatives ranging from individuals to corporations - none in a formal relationship of course, since there can be no way for an official representation for Bitcoin (that's a difference with ETH when I start comparisons). A lot of them think the other is a misrepresentation, some believe they are the angels, others who denounce it publicly are even in some way representatives against Bitcoin.

On a more serious note, here are some organisations whose missions are Bitcoin advocacy: Bitcoin Foundation, Bitcoin Suisse, Bitcoin Center NYC and Bitcoinfest.

Vryatle will appear such person. These technologies do not imply the appearance and presence of a central figure. Yes, and it is not needed. This market can not be managed by anyone. Decentralization will not allow. There are other levers of power that can only temporarily affect events, courses and volatility.

Although there are many coins like Etherum, ETC, LTC after Bitcoin came up, but bitcoin is so strong and it won't be able to be represent. Or you meant someone will represent Bitcoin? No one can represent bitcoin as it is decentrailzed, okay?

It is decentralized in a way that bitcoin cannot controlled and bitcoin users itself be the one who are into bitcoin. I agree with you bitcoin's future is in hands of all users and who supports about it.

What in the world are you talking about? Bitcoin has got no centralized organisation who controls it. It is controlled by the people who are using the coin and thus require no "representative". Satoshi Nakamoto created the blockchain technology and thus heralded in bitcoin. However he is not a representative, in fact I believe that is why he went anonymous and disappeared.

The only representative is the user of bitcoin. There is no such need of a Biblical Savior for bitcoin. It can survive on its own.

In fact, this is a problem. It seems to me that the community does not understand the importance of the representative.

When things get to the discussions in governments, it will damage the future defendant.

The web is a convention of 3W. And nothing terrible has happened. The system remained centralized.

I think we don't need a hero who will represent bitcoin, it's decentralized anyway. Worry not about the future of Bitcoin for it is the future itself, countries are adopting and legalizing bitcoin. The community itself is the voice of bitcoin, so just put a little faith on Bitcoin. Just think about it, if someone takes over or represent the Bitcoin then everything will change favoring the representative or it's group so let's just leave it as is.

no one represents bitcoin, buddy
because bitcoin is independent, no one can control it, so bitcoin does not need a messiah-like representative in the history of the Christians as you say.

The purpose of representation is to facilitate change.

It seems that a super majority of the miners working with a bunch of key exchanges and merchant payers to achieve a consensus (New York Agreement) on segwit2x is a form of representation.  The developers strongly opposing this direction is another form of representation.  I suspect the first form will end up carrying more weight but that is just my supposition. 

It does show whats going on in Bitcoin representation at this time though.

I think Bitcoin does not need representation, because bitcoin is a decentralized currency so it can not be controlled by anyone, and that is one of its best concepts ,,

and the bitcoin connectivity itself which is representative ..

if you ask like that, then I will answer ETH. because the most popular altcoin ETH, it is not likely to be a core coin like Bitcoin and being a tough competitor.

Actually the indirect meaning of this question is the answer towards it because we the people are the only representative rather than us there is no one we post we create we earn we care !

Reflecting on this, keep in mind only one thought - for some reason the creator of the bitcoin concealed his identity. Bitcoin should be the property of the whole world, so I understand the idea of the so-called Satoshi. To distribute bitcoin, you can and should use the world's advertising space - billboards, newspapers, TV, radio, the Internet, so that the whole world speaks about it immediately, and not a specific person.

That's the deal really. We're in a decentralized system and no need for any real person to represent the system. The ecosystem is already decentralized and it should stay like that.

Representatives are for real world companies.

It's all words. Someone ran the new York agreement. Of course there are people who are making their adjustments in the life of bitcoin. I'm not sure that you can 100% control the bitcoin but each action can have big consequences for the entire bitcoin community. I do not support permanent fork but they happen. Maybe we are just pawns in someone else's game?

Who cares, Bitcoin has been out here for almost 5 years and never had to be represented. It's interesting enough without someone having to represent the Bitcoin.

No one. And this is the dignity of bitcoin. All who own and use it and are representatives.

Why do you think Bitcoin need a representative? It is not a company or government, so it actually doesn't need it. If a government has problems with Bitcoin-related companies, I think CEOs of such companies can defend themselves.

We don't need anyone else apart from the core devs, they are doing a great job and like you said what makes him think bitcoin even need a representative? It's been doing fine even without them yet and so we need not institute any group of people who will be representing it.

That's a good question. So far no one has been deemed worthy to fill the vacuum left behind by Satoshi Nakamoto. When people think of microsoft they think of Bill Gates. When people think of amazon they think of Jeff Bezos. There is no face or identity that goes with bitcoin. Crypto has no real spokesperson or figurehead leader to represent it. Over the long run perhaps this is a good thing. The crypto culture could grow to become more about ideas than a single person who came up with an idea. Cryptos identity is left open to be defined, rather than subject to some type of preconceived bias.

Bitcoin lacking a true leader could give it a decentralized format of equals which in ways could mirror moreso a decentralized republic than a totalitarian top down regime. It is possible that's the way Satoshi would have liked it.

If your looking for a person or group of people the will actually represent Bitcoin, just look around you, we are all representing Bitcoin, we are the voice of Bitcoin, we are the hand of Bitcoin.

Being decentralized, no one single entity are controlling Bitcoin, that's the best thing about Bitcoin.

Easy. The users always. The point of having something decentralized is to be represented by a mass. Once we have a single representation then what's the point of BTC. The very point is to decentralize the power and prevent corruption. Just look at the 2008 financial crisis. The banking system failed and what's worst is that none of the executives were ever charged or jailed. No one took responsibility. Bitcoin is an alternative system. We no longer have to put our faiths on the hands of corrupt banking officials or the government for that matter.

The users of bitcoin can represent bitcoin in a good way for example they are the people who make posts who invest in bitcoin who knows much about bitcoin and the thing is compensation providing to them when they realize that it provide us the monetary benefit be itself they will motivated for this.

Bitcoin do not need a representative or a speaker, as a user or bitcoin holder you can become one who will defend bitcoin to those people who criticizing and ruining the image of bitcoin. Bitcoin can survive without the help of that it keeps stronger an stronger in a long run. 

Bitcoin doesn't need a representative, it is a decentralized currency not controlled by anyone.

oh i see, by this information, ive learn from it, now i know the things that always coming out in my mind, thanks to OP who created this topic and answered by our members here at our forum. although i want to create a topic like this which i didnt do and decide to search only to gather/learned from reading from those useful threads and topics to be found the answer which has no information like this. so we all bitcoin holders/users are the voice/representative of bitcoin right?

the people, the one who hold the bitcoin represent on its own the people who create the bounty campaign without them we will not have a chance to become one of the bitcoin community in the industry right now.

Well, Satoshi represented it for a little while. His disappearance did not have any significant effects on the price though, so that kinda confirms that we don't need any representatives.

We don't need anyone to represent us especially one figure if anything it should be the community which represents us.

Nothing and we don't need that.

Do you know the difference between fiat currency and bitcoin? If you don't know yet, then you have to read more about it. But if you already know, then there is nothing to ask. If bitcoin has a person / group as a controller, so what's the difference of bitcoin with fiat currency?
But if that happens, it would be better to trade with fiat currency only.

The future of bitcoin is depends also to the people, if they don't want to use a bitcoin, it will fall.

It's a widely accepted theory that Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared for that sole reason, so as not to be seen as a Bitcoin leadership figure

Maybe all users when bitcoin

They are right Bitcoin doesnt need someone or any people to be a representative of it. But maybe you can call us or the other people continuing giving support and hopes in Bitcoins as a representative. Because we also present to other people and other nation and to the whole world how good is Bitcoin and how much profit we gain from it and we also showing them how Bitcoin change our life.

For mainstream acceptance and adoption, cryptocurrencies do need to have some higher profile, media friendly people who can talk about it to the public and politicians.  Its cant be one person because the nature of scene and its global reach, but some group or body should form, who are independent from commercial interests of individual coins.

As far as i am concern it doesn't need to be controlled by someone or somebody, it also doesn't need to have any representatives, and i surely believe most of us would agree with, and besides it will lose the purpose and use of bitcoin if it does happen. One more thing it wont have any difference with the other fiat currencies if that will be implemented.

Nobody needs to take this role, the people will decide as we have done previously on all things bitcoin, it needs to remain as one of those illusive things like air :)

Bitcoin doesn't need a representative because its decentralized already meaning no one is owning it and no one can represent it. I think all users of bitcoin are considered as representatives only if they are advertising it to other people so that many will be using it (I think).

I think Bitcoin does not need representation, because bitcoin is a decentralized currency so it can not be controlled by anyone, and that is one of its best concepts

Bitcoin does not require representation, but it still requires people to hold some important role in bitcoin. As with bitcoin policy, handling when bitcoin collapses in order to stabilize again.

Hi,

Maybe the initial developpers can appear as the "face" of bitcoin in order to spread the idea to the vast majority of people.
But nobody will "represent" the bitcoin in itself, ever.

Anyway, bitcoin is rather an idea, a concept, than a concrete thing!

bitcoin does not require a savior. You have to know if bitcoin can not be controlled by anyone, including the government. All has gone decentralized on blockchain. It's complete, we just use it and introduce it to the community. Because bitcoin runs through communities, not individuals

The whole point of bitcoin is to be decentralized meaning one body does not rule, control, or represent it. Although it does put up a good point in terms of legislation and such.

I thinks bitcoin just not need a representative being a voice of cryptocurrency because it is decentralized and cannot controlled by one person if there's a problem occur,because bitcoin is volatile and unpredictable its market value and even we put some CEO representave in bitcoin he cannot  solve the problem in times there is dump situation.

I second the motion. Bitcoin is made not to be centralized on someone. The purpose of bitcoin is to be decentralized.

No one. And this is the dignity of bitcoin. All who own and use it and are representatives.
